Pay no attention to that man--he's nothing but a DENIER!!

Garnaut hits back at Costa criticism | The Australian

THE Rudd Government's climate change adviser has rounded on Michael Costa after the NSW Labor Treasurer warned that "Chicken Little" politics were pervading the global-warming debate.

However, three state governments joined Mr Costa yesterday in supporting compensation for electricity generators under an emissions trading scheme.

Ross Garnaut hit back at Mr Costa after his attack in The Australian yesterday, and there were calls from within the Labor caucus for Mr Costa to be disciplined by Premier Morris Iemma.

Professor Garnaut said Mr Costa's position as a climate change sceptic had been known for some time.

"The NSW Treasurer is a well-known denier of the science (of climate change)," he said.
