The believers are foul, Julie, but appreciate the sceptics

The believers are foul, Julie, but appreciate the sceptics | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
...But check Bishop’s blog again. See how many sceptics have written there? And note also the following: they are lucid and quote evidence, against the believers who are abusive and quote none. Even more interesting is that this is a debate being held on the blog run by The Age, which until a month ago would not even report the fact that the world hadn’t warned over the past decade. Some readers there say it’s indeed only over the past few weeks, having finally heard sceptics’ arguments, that they reconsidered their support for the theory of man-made global warming.

Reason can win this debate, at least among reasonable people. The problem so far is quite simple: not enough people have stood up to the warming alarmism and given courage - and facts - to the rest.

I’m glad that Bishop, with the help of The Age’s business editor, Michael Short, are now defying the mob. Would that more scientists did so.

Compared to the American comments about the guy blowing up the car, the "Julie" comments are quite tame. I hope that the car thread is a reflection of the simmering American sentiment and that they all show up to vote.
