The Clean Industrial Revolution

By popular demand I’ve uploaded the Plimer debate from Kerri-Anne’s show yesterday (Scroll down here).  Amazing to hear a non-climate scientist who’s never presented or published research in climate science or conferences talk about ‘fraud’ and ‘scam’ – it simply takes my breath away. I also forgot to mention the apparent links of Plimer to mining companies , but nothing will stop Plimer getting air-time given the special interests in this debate.  Go here to see climate scientists  Barry Brook and Ian Enting spending their valuable time eradicating much of the garbage in Plimer’s book.  My thoughts on denialists in general and their anti-science mentality have been issued before here.

Also, just in terms of claims that I’m pushing this climate scam for my own interest, well its quite the contrary if you actually follow through Plimers logic.  I should be PROMOTING Plimers views since more government money will be spent on researching the apparent uncertainties in climate science rather than going towards researching and developing the solutions!  Quite the opposite to my self-interest, I am pushing for resources to move beyond the climate science (ie me) and to low carbon technologies and solutions around the world. This warped self-interested view from the deniers comes from a very dark side of the human race.  If interested I published an op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald a couple of years ago on this here.
