The Drum Unleashed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
The director of Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology Dr Greg Ayers must surely possess the patience of a saint or, if you don’t believe in saints, then the patience of my wife who has been waiting for me to fix the hole in the bathroom ceiling for well over three years.
Dr Ayers has finally gained some closure on an issue concerning Cardinal George Pell, the head of the Catholic church in Australia who while believing in saints, doesn’t believe in human-caused climate change.
Dr Ayer’s unloaded his frustrations on a senate estimates committee this week, saying he believed Cardinal Pell had been “misled” by a book called Heaven and Earth, written by Australian climate sceptic and mining director Professor Ian Plimer. He then told the committee why.
Climate change sceptics/deniers/contrarians/unbelievers will no doubt be looking to mislead the Australian public even further in the coming months, now that a framework to establish a price on carbon – albeit with a still paltry five per cent cut in emissions – has been put before us by the Multi-Party Committee on Climate Change. Expect to see many of the already disproved arguments from the book dusted off and re-introduced.
