Anyone for global cooling.

Professor Tim Flannery laments his ‘colossal failure’ on climate activism

In an article for The Conversation in 2012, Flannery wrote that Victoria’s “changing climate is likely to lead to less snowfall”. As ABC business reporter Daniel Ziffer wrote last Friday, the real estate industry is booming in the Victorian Alps due to bumper snowfalls over the last several years. For those of you worried about Ziffer receiving a narrative violation from his employer, fear not. In this 876-word article he dutifully made six references to “climate change”.

Not only is Flannery known for making ridiculous predictions, he also has a habit of denying what he said. Commenting on this in 2011, ABC journalist Virginia Trioli stated “I’ve sat with Tim Flannery at forums and the like, where he has point-blank said: no, I never said that. And I’ll say: yes you did, here’s the quote. And then he’ll run a gag with the audience, a plea to get them on side, saying it must have been in the News Limited papers. And you’ll get a ha, ha, ha. And I’ll be there going, no, here it is, it’s actually in a Fairfax paper, not that that matters anyway. So this is intriguing to me because he has a little bit of a reputation of saying things and then denying it.”
