Johnny Ball booed from Robin Ince gig

Johnny Ball booed from Robin Ince gig: "Johnny Ball was booed off stage last night after questioning man made climate change during his part in a Christmas show celebrating atheism and science. The crowd for 'Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People', organised by BBC regular Robin Ince, was too close-minded to hear him out. Ince has criticised Ball's views on Twitter and Ball says he won't be doing the climate change stuff in future shows. More from the Telegraph.

I see also that another rationalist, the flimflam debunker James Randi, has expressed scepticism over claims that the science is settled. Like Johnny Ball, he too has come under attack for his views.

(Full disclosure - I'm an atheist climate change sceptic.)
