Similarly, director of The Heartland Institute’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy Sterling Burnett responded with “Better late than never, I guess” to the news of The Telegraph’s admission. “A waste of scarce resources, that could have been put to better use to reduce hunger and disease, from the start.” The Telegraph article’s author as well as Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath said that “climate change is real, but Britain can do almost nothing about it.” “We have crippled British industry, hammered consumers and pushed the grid to the brink of blackouts, all with no discernible impact on global emissions and the climate,” Heath wrote. Chairman of the American Lands Council Myron Ebell told The Center Square that “Heath’s wake-up call is almost 20 years too late.”
