Flannery’s new rule: the only good scientist is one who votes Left | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
More witterings of the increasinlgly messianic Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery on global warming. First, he claims - against the case-closed evidence presented by interviewer Greg Cary - that China is tacking global warming, believing “climate change is a threat to the existence of the communist party”.

Then Flannery, a paleontologist, offers this bizarre reason for reason for ignoring sceptic Professor Richard Lindzen, whom he admits is a world-renown and reputable climate scientist:
The problem with Richard Lindzen is his politics is to the right of Andrew Bolt and Genghis Khan.
It’s hard to know where to start with this spectacularly stupid statement, even more wrong in principle than it is in facts.
A Disturbing View Of Climate Sensitivity | Real Science
CO2 has gone way up over the last century, while temperature has done almost nothing (a little over half a degree.) This indicates climate sensitivity close to zero. But why let actual observation supersede the unverified output of a grossly deficient computer model?
Trenberth On Hurricanes | Real Science
Trenberth appears to have a history of creativity with climate statistics. We can’t trust the IPCC for glaciers, hurricanes, temperatures, snow, rain, floods, drought or sea level. But otherwise they are extremely valuable.
