Natural disasters: be careful when predicting them! : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 29/10/2012

We now rarely accept that events are random, 'acts of God', or basically beyond human control - 'someone is to blame'.

One of the problems with any debate on climate is the parasites that attach themselves to any issue. In the case of climate in Australia the major parasites are the Greens. There is much truth to the watermelon charge. Many, perhaps most, Greens are green on the outside and red on the inside. They have hijacked the climate issue in order to advance a Marxist / totalitarian agenda.

Another group of parasites are anal cavities like Flannery, not a climatologist, who has used the climate issue to advance the cause of Flannery.

And then there is the ABC which has departed from its mandate of presenting the science to becoming a partisan player.

The best thing that could happen for the climate debate in Australia is for the loathsome Greens and their Leftie baggage to vanish.

It would also help if the ABC were to be less partisan. A good start would be to fire Tony Jones.

The noise from the Greens, the ABC and self-aggrandising "activists" like Flannery is actually more destructive than anything coming from the "sceptics" camp. The "sceptics" would be easy to deal with if it weren't for the noise from these parties.
