Sadly, he has now jumped the shark completely, even to the point of insulting sceptics by implying that they are 'deniers', a term he always refrained from using. He's even, by the sound of it, helping Extinction Rebellion fanatics arrested for breaking the law defend their actions in court by providing them with scientific 'evidence' which supposedly justifies their unlawful activities.
