Oh Dear the experts have spoken!?!
Geologist Ian Plimer has labelled climate change theory an “ascientific, urban, religious, fundamentalist movement” promoted by academics and activists who would be “unemployable outside taxpayer-funded climate institutes”.
Plimer says that climate change has become the new Western religion with the elements of failed European socialism and Christianity and it imposes guilt on the community, creates a fear of damnation, demands appeasement by selling indulgences to the faithful, ignores any contrary information, demonises dissenters.” This all sounds a bit UGH to me.
He is right that climate always changes and there have been greater and more rapid changes in the past and we’ve had varying carbon levels in the past. But what is happening now is different and the atmospheric changes have been measured. The current problem is superimposed on top of the history described by Plimer.
Climate change is not new - it was predicted over 30 years ago to my certain knowledge because while my kids were small I taught secondary biology so I had school hours and holidays to fit in with my family. I taught about global warming then.
However in Australia we have another “voice of reason” our Family First senator Steve Fielding has made up his mind on climate change and apparently according to the “expert” the world is not warming now, and humans aren’t changing the climate.
The government and the country’s top scientists have tried to convince Senator Fielding, who holds a crucial vote in the upper house, that global warming is real. But he’s released a document setting out his position and he says “Global temperature isn’t rising”
