CIS welcomed Matt Ridley for a thought-provoking discussion on the critical role of Government in shaping climate, health, and energy policies.

Science, though imperfect and subject to human flaws, possesses the capacity to yield enduring truths and reliable practical guidance. It neither serves as an absolute authority overriding political disputes nor harbors deceitful agendas. Navigating conflicting scientific opinions in the context of issues like the COVID pandemic and climate policies poses a challenge for the average person. There's no easy solution in scientific debates, and to distinguish solid claims from uncertain ones, one must scrutinize the evidence firsthand. While relying on the reputation of scientists or reporters is common, it's not foolproof, making it essential to do thorough research when in doubt.

Matt Ridley is a British author, journalist, businessman and former member of the UK House of Lords known for his writings on science, the environment, and economics.
