Background
Dominic Lawson is a British journalist who writes columns for the Daily Mail and the Sunday Times. He is the son of Nigel Lawson, former Conservative chancellor of the exchequer under Margaret Thatcher and founder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the UK’s most prominent climate science denial group.3“Dominic Lawson for the Daily Mail’s recent articles,” Daily Mail.

Lawson was previously the editor of the Spectator magazine and the Sunday Telegraph.5“Dominic Lawson,” Sunday Times. Archived April 24, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/C516m
He has argued against the scientific consensus on climate change for many years, claiming that global warming is “a good thing for species, including humans”, and suggesting that man-made CO2 emissions have made the Earth “become greener”.6Dominic Lawson. “Why a horseshoe bat in Kent exposes the sheer folly of today’s mass eco-protests,” Daily Mail, October 7, 2019.

Lawson has argued that “zero-carbon mania is just so much hot-air” and has claimed that “no permanent damage has been done to the marine environment of the Gulf of Mexico by the biggest oil-spillage in history, from BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig.”7Dominic Lawson. “The zero-carbon mania is just so much hot air,” Sunday Times, May 5, 2019.

Lawson is also critical of prominent climate change activists like Greta Thunberg, who he has described as a “prophetess of doom”, and Extinction Rebellion (XR) who he claims are a “doomsday cult”. He blames the BBC for being “obsessed with climate change”, as well as the Metropolitan police, who he says have “indulged” XR protestors “bringing havoc to the capital”.9Dominic Lawson. “The zero-carbon mania is just so much hot air,” Sunday Times, May 5, 2019.

“CO2 is a naturally occurring compound, and its accumulation in the atmosphere can have positive effects as well as negative ones. Over the past 30 years there has been an increase of almost 15% in the area of the planet covered by vegetation: most of this has been attributed to increased CO2 in the atmosphere. It’s not called the greenhouse effect for nothing.”13Dominic Lawson. “Biomass: another renewables plan that’s gone up in smoke,” Sunday Times, May 27, 2018. Archived April 24, 2020.

Lawson challenged the idea of a scientific consensus on climate change, comparing it to that among economists in the run up to the 2008 financial crisis, and among Western intelligence services prior to the 2003 Iraq War:14Dominic Lawson. “The UN’s hot air gets hotter, but the Earth just isn’t following suit,” Sunday Times, September 29, 2013.

“In other words, just as economists cannot tell us how to abolish boom and bust, so scientists do not yet know how to fix the climate — or even if it’s broken.”17Dominic Lawson. “The UN’s hot air gets hotter, but the Earth just isn’t following suit,” Sunday Times, September 29, 2013.

Lawson wrote an article for The Daily Mail arguing in favour of a new deep coal mine in Cumbria and criticising the government’s decision to prevent the construction of an open-cast coal mine in Highthorn, Northumberland in October 2020.40Dominic Lawson. “DOMINIC LAWSON: It’s sheer madness to import the coal essential for our steel industry when we can produce it ourselves,” The Daily Mail, February 8, 2021. Archived February 8, 2021. Archive.vn URL: https://archive.vn/hlaKX
He described the notion of the UK showing leadership on climate change as “a form of moral vanity—and if it has local victims, they will principally be in the ‘left-behind’ regions of our country that the PM promised to prioritise.”
Lawson also criticised Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s pledge to make Britain “the Saudi Arabia of wind,” arguing that the expansion of wind energy was impossible without coal. He wrote: “Vast numbers of new wind turbines will be needed for this. And what will they be made of? Yes, steel. So the question is whether we wish to make as much as possible — or indeed any — of that steel in the UK. If we do, then coking coal is required.”
January 10, 2021
Lawson wrote an article for The Times criticising the government’s 10-point plan for a “Green Industrial Revolution,” including the expansion of offshore wind energy to 40 gigawatts by 2030. Lawson referred to this policy as the “equivalent of the USSR’s five-year plans,” adding: “the effect of increasing our dependency on indigenous wind will only add to the likelihood of the sort of market panic we witnessed last week — and of blackouts.”41Dominic Lawson. “The energy answer is not blowin’ in the wind,” The Times, January 10, 2021.

In an article for The Daily Mail, Lawson criticised the cost implications of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s 10-point plan for decarbonising the economy, referring to it as “wastefulness.” Lawson also stated that: “replacing all our boilers with so-called ‘air-source’ heat pumps will not just cost at least four times more than gas-fired ones: the enormous tax-funded subsidies required will be for products less efficient at heat generation than those we currently use in our homes,” continuing: “Public expenditure to fund more expensive energy (for example, with wind turbines replacing gas ones for industrial use) is what economists call ‘malinvestment.’”42Dominic Lawson. “Boris Johnson ducks paying his personal bills.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Lawson characterised Extinction Rebellion as “a small-ish but increasingly influential group of middle-class climate change protesters who want to silence anyone or any organisation that doesn’t share their hysterical view that the planet and its inhabitants will fry to fossil-fuelled extinction within a decade or two unless we return immediately to a form of pre-industrial subsistence”.
He went on to recommend a book by Bjorn Lomborg, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre, which is funded by billionaire vulture capitalist Paul Singer, who gave $200,000 to the Centre in 2013. 43Dominic Lawson, “Free speech, fake science – and why we must take the fight to the climate zealots” The Daily Mail, September 7th, 2020.

Referencing ongoing delays over a final decision on planning permission for a coal mine in Northumberland, Lawson stated in the Daily Mail that the Government “likes to portray itself as the ‘world leader’ in the ‘battle against climate change”, and that its efforts to reduce emissions were an “elaborate British con trick, at least in carbon accounting terms”.44Dominic Lawson, What has ‘builder’ Boris got against the Miners of Northumberland?, The Daily Mail, 5th July 2020.
