Earlier this week, Tony referred to "the failed HIV-causes-AIDS
theory."

Now, I am reluctant to speak on behalf of what Brave Sir Tony
believes. This is partly because I don't like to put words in the

From what I recall, someone let slip that they were defending their

Shouldn't we have been notified that a toast was in order?

OT: Scientific consensus on climate and glaciers...

2010-03-18T18:06:14Z

What is the scientific consensus on what is causing Mount Kilimanjaro
