As a skeptical scientist I have studied the climate change issue very closely. One side has an incredible amount of evidence, consensus and a consilience stretching back into the 1980's. The other side has no evidence and just denies its existence either because the timeline of data goes against their religion, or because they have so much invested in the current, quite stable conditions ie markets and real estate that they don't want to see ruffled before they have made their little nest in the earth. They fact Abbott was unable to talk or elaborate on his position yet again on climate change is ridiculous, Sarah got what she was after while the scientific and critical thinking communities cringe yet again. It is not a lefty conspiracy, it is scientific fact. The fact the leader of our country has such a distaste for the scientific community goes a long way to paint the picture of this fool of fools.

Brilliant stuff BD. Great first para. Says it all in a nutshell. Was thinking of having a go at the climate change thread tomorrow night but you have said most of it for me.
