AUSTRALIA'S warmist Chief Scientist claims that the "evidence is overwhelming"; fails to provide that evidence

Climate debate 'appalling' | theage.com.au

AUSTRALIA'S Chief Scientist, Ian Chubb, has lamented the quality of public debate on climate change, saying it ''borders on appalling'' and the level of scientific literacy among politicians is ''not high''.

In his first big speech since his appointment by the Gillard government in April, Professor Chubb rejected accusations that he was partisan because he believed that ''the science is in on climate change''.

''Well, I don't think that's partisan. I think that I can read English - as Ross Garnaut once said - and understand it. And I think that the evidence is overwhelming,'' he said at the National Press Club.

He said the media often gave undue weight to the views of climate sceptics. ''I think the media has an obligation to present scientific debates, including on climate change, in a proper and balanced and appropriately weighted way.''

He said there were respectable people who held different views. ''But when you get the overwhelming majority of people with real expertise heading in one direction, you have to take notice of that, because if you wait for proof, you wait forever.''
