Lyn has not only made assertions about climate with no basis in science, but refers us to baseless lies, like the following from a briefing from the unknown, unscientific, untruthful “Climate and Health” who apparently sourced its lies from the notorious “Lancet”
“Climate change poses serious health risks to Australians. More frequent and more severe extreme weather events, including heatwaves, floods, fires and storms will increase illness, injury and death. Other effects include an increased incidence of infectious diseases, vector borne diseases, air pollution, mental illness, poor water quality and food insecurity.4 Children, the elderly, Indigenous Australians, people with chronic illnesses,
There are 13 comments of which 10 point out the invalidity of her assertions.
Of the three which support her, one relies on a fairy tale about a chimpanzee which is completely irrelevant, one makes a baseless attack on another comment, and the third shows his ignorance by his reference to the hopeless Naomi Klein as a justification for Lyn’s baseless, unscientific nonsense.

Hi Lyn,
Excellent article.
Unfortunately, climate change posts on this site generally rubbish everything to do with climate change.

I have attempted to cross swords with many authors of such nonsence over the past couple of years. In general, they pay no heed to science, science facts or reasoned argument. In my view, hey are purveyors of nonsense.

Leo Lane is perhaps the most regular of such commentators. I would recommend paying no attention to his prattle. And, there are others as you might have noticed above who deserve similar treatment.

Recommended response is laughter, and some sadness for those people For I think they do not know what they are doing.

Cheers
Tony

Why must recognizing the problem be cojoined with carbon pricing and renewables?

They are not the way to go about substantively solving the problem. To that end, the article is really only aimed at the Leo Lanes, who are in the minority but make loud noises.

What is lacking is leadership that looks the issue squarely in the face and, putting all political obstacles aside, educates the public on the options and encourages open debate, followed by a plebiscite.

Then, if we decide to be lemmings and choose renewables, we will have at least gone through a process that makes everyone responsible for our doom, and not just a small cabal of ideologues that currently determine policy.

Tony153 says:” generally rubbish everything to do with climate change. “
No, Tony, just baseless assertions that it is human caused.
Tony is a regular contributor, notable for his lack of science to base his pathetic assertions.
He has no science to show that I am other than correct when I point out that there is no science to show that humans have any measurable effect on climate, so he recommends that the truth be ignored.
There is no need to ignore Tony, as he has nothing of substance to say. He has no science or logic to support his nonsense.

Lucifercrase cannot count, and does not read my posts, or he would know that he is incorrect when he says:" the Leo Lanes, who are in the minority but make loud noises.”.
Of the 13 posts here, when I commented, three were for the article, and ten against. Lucifer thinks I am in the minority. No wonder he supports the climate fraud.My posts which he has failed to read , of course, are quiet and truthful.

Leo, I stopped reading your posts about two years ago when I realized they were all the same post.

Did something change that I missed?

Tink.

Hi Lyn
I share your "obsession" with climate change. I'm sorry to see so many denialist comments on your article. I have to wonder, are they actually bots, or are they people paid by the promoters of climate disinformation?
