Even facts.

He actually asked UKIP this question:

“How will you use a seat in the European Parliament to tackle climate change and its impact on the UK? ”

And got this answer:

“UKIP: We wouldn’t prioritise any of these methods. If you actually take the time to read, say, The Stern Review it says that we need to be spending some 1-2% of GDP on solving the problems of climate change. If you then look at the taxation system in the UK you’ll see that we already do pay 1-2% of GDP in green taxes. Thus, if we are to believe what Lord Stern is telling us, we’ve actually already done what is necessary. Of course, those who argue that we must do a great deal more than this, those who insist that this isn’t enough, are also therefore arguing that it’s all going to cost us a great deal more than 1-2% of GDP. One argument that is often made is that we need political union in order to deal with environmental problems such as climate change. However, this doesn’t stand up to even the most rudimentary examination of the logic. All agree that we’ll need the cooperation of the US, China and India in dealing with matters. But no one is arguing that we should have political union with the US, China and India whether to deal with climate change or not. So, in fact, everyone is saying that independent nations need to cooperate, without being part of one political unit, in order to solve the problem.”

To say that the “party line” is either denialist or “skeptic” on hte basis of that is a pretty long stretch.
