Nils-Axel Mörner

In a December 2011 article titled "The Spectator runs false sea-level claims on its cover", The Guardian describes Nils-Axel Mörner as "a serial promoter of nonsense". Mörner is a member of the Heartland Institute which is funded by oil companies and right wing organisations including  the Charles G. Koch Foundation.

Murdoch Press Muddy Waters

Almost Midnight

On 10th January the Doomsday Clock ticked on to 5 to midnight. A concept of atomic scientists at the onset of the cold war in 1947 and set to 11:53, the highest point was in 1991 when it was set to 11:43 after the fall of Soviet Russia. Since then there has been a steady trend towards global disaster measured mostly by the danger of nuclear war. In 2007 climate change was factored in.
