In 2012 , Delingpole began '' Bogpaper , '' a satirical blog , with Jan Skoyles . Delingpole has engaged in climate change denialism ; in 2009 he wrote of " The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth " . He says he does not dispute that global warming has occurred , but doubts the extent to which it is man-made ( " anthropogenic " ) or catastrophic . Hence , Delingpole has disputed the findings of climate science on global warming for a number of years . He has written " I am not a scientist and have never claimed to be , " and that he does not have a science degree , but is " a believer in empiricism and not spending taxpayers ' money on a problem that may well not exist . " In a BBC '' Horizon '' documentary , " Science under Attack " , Delingpole responded to Paul Nurse 's discussion of the scientific consensus on global warming by saying that the idea of a consensus is unscientific ; and in response to Nurse 's question as to whether he had read any peer-reviewed papers , he maintained that as a journalist " it is not my job " to read peer reviewed papers , but to be " an interpreter of interpretations . " Delingpole reused a term appearing in a follow-up comment to another blog , and so popularised the term " Climategate " in '' The Spectator '' , to refer to the Climatic Research Unit email controversy , <!--no Quotes from November 2009 ''Telegraph'' blog post by Delingpole on the Climatic Research Unit email controversy where he is credited with being the first to publicise the term "Climategate", where he also stated that it exposed the "conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth" and that he hoped it would be "the final nail in the coffin of Anthropogenic Global Warming". --> and called it " the greatest scientific scandal in the history of the world " . Subsequent investigations have cleared the scientists involved of any wrongdoing . In a 15-minute talk to what was termed The Heartland Institute 's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change , Delingpole humorously quipped in 2010 that the Climategate was " the story that would change my life and , quite possibly , save Western civilisation from the greatest threat it has ever known . " In 2012 Delingpole wrote an article in '' The Australian '' entitled " Wind Farm Scam a Huge Cover-Up " containing controversial issues and tone , which was ultimately censured . Three complaints were made , and the Australian Press Council upheld three aspects of the complaints , commenting on the " offensiveness " of the comment made by a New South Wales sheep farmer , which Delingpole quoted , that made an analogy between advocates of wind farms and paedophiles
