James Delingpole is an English columnist and novelist. He has published several novels and two political books, How to be Right: The Essential Guide to Making Lefty Liberals History, and Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work. He writes for The Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Spectator. He describes himself as a libertarian conservative. He is also a fan of the Tea Party movement as shown on his Telegraph blog.
Delingpole regularly expresses the view that man-made climate change is not as extensive as described, and has linked mainstream scientific projections with "the atavistic impulse which leads generation after generation to believe it is the chosen one: the generation so special that it and it alone will be the one privileged to experience the end of the world; and the generation so egotistical that it imagines itself largely responsible for that imminent destruction". He has also objected to what he sees as the attempted smearing of climate-change sceptics by their opponents, which he says is part of a strategy to exaggerate or otherwise manipulate data to bolster the case for anthropogenic climate change.
