Climategate 2.0 - a shift in England

From the London Daily Mail:
Cameron's green guru reveals his doubts over global warming
Steve Hilton, the Prime Minister�s director of strategy and �green guru�, is the latest person to admit to doubts about climate change.

�I�m not sure I believe in it,� he announced at a meeting of the Energy Department, prompting one aide to blurt out: �Did I just hear that correctly?�

According to one witness, Hilton, 41, the man who coined the slogan �Vote Blue and Go Green� and changed the Tory symbol from a Stalinist style torch to an eco friendly tree, said: �Climate change arguments are highly complex.

�My focus has always been more on using green issues to improve the quality of life.�

Hilton famously persuaded David Cameron to go to the Arctic with a pack of huskies to prove that he was determined to combat global warming in his early days as Tory leader.

Now, however, Hilton as become a big fan of former Chancellor Nigel Lawson, a vocal critic of the global warming lobby.

Hilton�s new doubts chime with the Prime Minister�s decision to tone down his previous emphasis on environmental measures to concentrate on stimulating economic growth.
