On being abused by Clive Hamilton, Professor of Public Ethics | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Yet in response to the MTC staging a play with the sceptic as a hero, Hamilton lets fly with a truly extraordinary stream of abuse:

For the next few decades, it is likely that natural gas -- particularly LNG and GTL -- will assume a rapidly growing role in the global energy trade.
