ttbn,
That sort of climate change denier certainly does exist - we used to have one on this board insisting there'd been no arming since 1998 or something. But people who deny that a 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 levels changes the climate are also climate change deniers.

Whether the science is settled depends on what you mean by "settled". Everything's always under review but there's a strong consensus on the basic facts, even though a few people (generally not scientists) reject them for ideological reasons.

Josephus,
Plimer's side seem to feel the need to obfuscate and lie, and you're no exception. Flannery is not responsible for anyone building on flood planes. Most of the building on flood plains was done before everyone had even heard of him. And he didn't say Warragamba dam would never fill again; he said the rain might not come before it's empty, and that normally drought breaking rains wouldn't be enough to fill the dams because the ground was so dry.

Josephus,
Yes, Flannery got it wrong; he underestimated the amount of rain that would come at the end of the drought. But he didn't claim the dams would never fill again, and he's certainly not responsible for building on flood plains.

Flim Flannery didn't say those exact words, but he certainly blamed climate change for the drought and indicated that rainfall would steadily decrease.

Flannery is not responsible for people building on flood plains, but neither is the federal government, but town councils are.

Got to give it to Jose'. He only believes in scientific facts when it comes to climate change.....like Noah and his ark, plenty of science behind that one.

Climate change gets blamed for everything. Albo has even blamed the CCP/Solomons pact on how we have handled climate change.

That is the halfwit who could be our next PM.
