Barnaby Joyce, speaking of the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis
on ABC radio yesterday:

"I become sceptical when religious fervour builds up around an issue"

Barnaby describes himself as a "born again" Christian. He's not
sceptical when hew should be and "sceptical" when there's no good
basis for it.

CORRECTION:
He's sceptical when he should be and not sceptical when there's no good
basis for it.


So there's no good basis for being sceptical of christianity? It's all
sound and ratiopnal is it?


There is very good reason to be skeptical of the AGW scam!!
The fact that it's being pushed almost entirely by rabid socialist whackos
should be reason enough.


You need to get in touch with James or the folks at naysayer central
who are claiming that leftists who support AGW have been co-opted by
corporate capitalist interest.

Given that rabies is in decline and support for GHG mitigation at
government and business level widespread, your claim that supporters
of the AGW-hypothesis are composed "almost entirely" of people who are
rabid must fail.

It's also hard to describe Thatcher, who pioneered this, as "a
socialist" though I'd be more sympathetic to describing her as a
"whacko".

As to your own bête noire, James Hansen, he describes himself as
"moderately conservative, middle-of-the-road," and claims he "would've
voted for John McCain in 2004 if he'd been on the ballot." His first
government post was in 1981 -- he was a Reagan-appointee.
