Is the Right Its Own Worst Enemy? | The Sceptic Ep.93
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges faced by the Right in winning elections and critiques the 97% climate consensus claim.
Does the Right need to compromise on its principles to win elections? And what’s really behind the shaky science of the 97% climate consensus? In Episode 93 of the Sceptic, guest host Ellie Hodges chats to writer and commentator Nick Rendell about why the Right needs to stop preaching to the choir, explain its policies more clearly and find a way for the parties on the Right to work together. And for our premium subscribers, Ellie talks to social scientist and author of the Valid Science Substack Dr José Duarte about the extraordinary flaws in the research behind the 97% climate consensus claim, why we should be wary of consensus claims and where genuine disagreement among climate scientists remains.
