I’ve also noticed a change. In giving public speeches - usually to charity groups, schools, businesses and political groupies - I’ve noticed more people prepared to publicly confess they are are doubters, too. 

What seems to be switching people off is the sheer hysteria and preposterous scare-mongering of the more prominent advocates of global warming - with Tim Flannery, Bob Brown and Al Gore (none of them climate scientists) all getting a mention. 

In my latest speech (to a non-partisan charity), only one person in a crowd of about 200 tried to preach the warming faith at me, and she was eventually heckled by the others. 

In my radio spots I’m starting to get a much less hostile or scoffing reception from the hosts, most noticeably on 3AW. I’ve also had shoolchildren email me asking for sources they can quote in putting the sceptical case.  

I’m not yet saying the tide is turning. But I am saying more people are fed up with the bull, and are even frightened by the unreason.
