“Regardless, Mrs Thatcher’s fight with coal miners was the main reason for her to embrace initially global warming alarmism.”

I disagree. Mrs Thatcher embraced GW for the same reason all other politicians do - it allows them to tax, something she badly needed to do at the time. She was IMHO wonderful, but not perfect.

I disagree. She was a Tory, and she regularly disparaged Labor for their lust of other peoples money. She trained as a chemist, as did I. Carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation. Extra carbon dioxide from human activity causing at increase in temperature is a plausible initial hypothesis, except actual temperature data says its probably insignificant compared to normal variability.
