| The heatwave grips the UK - will it budge the thinking of climate change deniers? |
BBC Radio Cambridgeshire wanted the Green House think tank chairman to debate climate change on air with a climate science denier.
He's done it before. This time he got a bit hot under the collar.
"I said NO," Read said, in a Tweet that has since been retweeted tens of thousands of times.
"I told them it was a disgrace that they still give climate deniers airtime at a time like this. I won't be part of such charades any longer.”
