In a 2009 Conservative Home article, Lord Flight writes: "If any one dares suggest that the emission of CO² gases may not be the most important factor driving climate change, and that it is not altogether clear whether we are heading for global warming or a coming ice age (which was feared previously) – they are branded as unspeakable and irresponsible. Nigel (Lord) Lawson has produced an excellently argued and presented case for scepticism here where virtually everyone I have encountered who has listened to his arguments has found it impossible not to agree with his case. But rational public debate of this important territory is suppressed, while untold damage to our economy may be implemented."
