Only 26% of the population believe in it.

So apart from Gordon Brown who recently insulted 74% of his potential voters by calling them “Flat Earthers”, it just goes to show that it appears you can fool a quarter of the people all of the time.

What I would request is that Left Foot Forward should perhaps start to publish less of these Climate Change articles that will only be believed by a (delusional) minority of the readers and concentrate on more positive topics.

Labour activists and progressives need to reach out to the largest possible number of potential voters and to pursue unpopular causes, whilst perhaps admirable, would be Plain(ly) Stupid.
