The conclusion to be drawn, therefore, is that we should accept everything that George Monbiot writes for the Garuniad as being gospel and we should head back to the seventeenth century, pre the Industrial Revolution, and all travel about by horse and cart living off the land (owned by just a few rich people who we rent our farms from) doing what is definitely best for the planet because a handful of crazed Lefties tell us so.
If we are going to worry about "discredited data", how long before crazed Lefties take note that Karl Marx (that middle class hypocrite) has been proven wrong for over a century so it is time to give up on the delusion.
Perhaps the conclusion to be drawn, as in the example of Bellamy himself, is that he ****ed up and got the data wrong.
