Pathological exaggerators caught on death threats: How 11 rude emails became a media blitz « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax

Here’s a character test on climate scientists and some of the media. It tells us much how concerned they are about truth, and how willing they are to be gullible fools, to have manners, decency, to milk even the most vaporous wisp of evidence into a national headline. Credit to Simon Turnill and  The Australian which put the news on the front page today. At least one paper is working to correct the record.

Character is destiny. Can people who do not care about the truth be trusted on any issue?

Richard Bean's award winning climate sceptic play is soon to open in Melbourne. The man himself is interviewed in the Australian.

So, I say, although the play seems a gift to sceptics, there's plenty of evidence to support the hypothesis that CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases are contributing to man-made climate change. Isn't there? A look of derision scuds across his face. No, he thunders, utter rubbish.
