Tom Bethell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Bethell (born 1936) is a journalist who writes mainly on economic and scientific issues, and is known for his support of the market economy, political conservatism, and fringe science.

Bethell was born and raised in England, Bethell was educated at Downside School and Trinity College, Oxford.[1][2]

He is a senior editor of the The American Spectator and member of the Hoover Institution. He was formerly Washington editor of Harper's, and an editor of the Washington Monthly.[3]

Bethell is a member of the Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis[4] which denies that HIV causes AIDS. His The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science promotes global warming denialism, AIDS denialism, and skepticism of evolution (which Bethell denies is "real science"[5]), promoting in its place intelligent design, a viewpoint dismissed by the scientific community as pseudoscience.
