Turnbull backs climate change [junk] scientists
Liberal frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull has called on people to take scientists seriously and not to listen to people like climate change sceptic Viscount Christopher Monckton, who dispute known facts backed by peer reviews.

The federal opposition's spokesman for communications and the broadband, says in the age of the internet, it's possible to find an argument for any cause and support for every view.

But, he says it's unlikely that people would seek to have an operation on their own body performed by someone who informed himself on the internet, but would seek help from a health professional who bases his actions on science.

'So much for those who suggest that people in the Liberal Party or on the centre-right of politics ... who support effective action on global warming are somehow or other from the left,' he said.

'If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed we should take action ... then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.'

“Heat waves have occurred regardless of any evidence of global warming, and will continue to do so,” the geography professor said.
