This is a great analogy, except he’s got the characters the wrong way around. It is the climate scientists that are Galileo, who was in favour of evidence and reason, surrounded by wingnut conspiracy theorists like Vivek who are the religious zealots of today.

You are so confused! Galileo was persecuted by religious zealots like you for insisting on respect for evidence. And it is clear that your extreme ideology prevents you from accepting the overwhelming evidence about climate change.

A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to more intense rainfall. I wonder if the editors at the The Telegraph can spot the link between this story and its daft campaign against net zero policies to tackle climate change?
