This idiot I put in the same class as Tim flannery
ABC science presenter
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki is either stunningly ignorant or incredibly impervious to facts which counter his global warming faith.
Challenged on Brisbane ABC radio about his claim there has been no pause in global warming over the past 16 years, he both repeated his error and made yet more.
No matter that the IPCC itself concedes no statistically significant warming for some 16 years.
No matter that the IPCC chief, Rajendra Pachauri, this month
conceded no warming for 17 years.
No matter that
every one of the major measurements of global warming shows no statistically significant warming for between 16 and 23 years.
No matter that Dr Karl has had his errors
brought repeatedly to his attention.
Dr Karl simply will not be told otherwise. Not only that, he once
again misquotes a figure derived from the British Met Office, claiming a warming trend
six times above what his source document says.
I’ve never seen such misinformation presented with such certainty by someone claiming to be a science presenter.
Listen to his response when a caller rings him on 612 ABC Brisbane (from 2:36 remaining) to ask him to comment on Pachauri’s admission.
First, Dr Karl falsely claimed the reader was referring to a British
Mail on Sunday article last year by David Rose, rather than a front-page story in
The Australian this month.
Then he falsely claimed the Met had
rebutted Rose’s claim, when it hadn’t, only disputing its significance.
Then he falsely claimed the world had warmed in this period by 0.3 degrees, or six times more than even what the Met itself claims.
Dr Karl presents science for the ABC. This presentation was staggeringly false, not least because he’s had the facts repeatedly drawn to his attention.
When Alan Jones, a sceptic, made an error on 2GB about carbon dioxide concentrations, he was pilloried on
Media Watch and
given a re-education session from the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Will the same sanctions be applied to a fervent warmist for stubbornly and repeatedly making even more fundamental errors?
Those interested in the answer may care to test our thought police by complaining at the links given
