Climate change sceptics in government report

I’ve just started reading the federal government’s report on geosequestration: Between a rock and a hard place. The first thing that surprised me is the dissent section which basically provides a platform for a number of the panel members to attack the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming. While they firmly state that global warming isn’t happening they still think we should embrace geosequestration.

Not surprisingly all of the dissenters are Liberal party members, and at least one of them has a track record of stupidity. It’s a bit sad that these are the people deciding Australia’s energy future.

    These people are idiots and, as you point out, hypocrites. They deny any significant warming is occurring on Earth yet are quite happy to state assuredly that there is warming occurring on Mars, Neptune, Jupiter and Pluto.

    The science is in. We have a duty to develop low emissions energy sources. Lets not be distracted by the Liberal party and their paymasters in the Fossil Fuel industry with their anti-Humanist agenda.
