Science questioning climate change should not be “rubbished or ridiculed”, a Westcountry MP charged with devising climate and energy policy for David Cameron has said. George Eustice, Conservative MP for Camborne and Redruth, says he believes there is a link between carbon emissions and warming the planet, but argues “all perspectives” should be heard. Mr Eustice is soon to be part of an eight-strong team of Conservatives developing policy within No 10, and will advise on energy and climate change. Conservative peer Lord Lawson, who established the Global Warming Policy Foundation, has accused climate scientists of “manipulating” records of global temperature and called for a “an open and reasoned debate” about climate change policies. --Graeme Demianyk, Western Morning News, 27 May 2013
