Damn it, people of Victoria. I was okay with your propagation of swine flu through the nation, because - let's be honest here - swine flu is the biggest non-event to be drummed up by a hysterical media this year. But this? You asked this man to make decisions for us?
Family First Senator Steve Fielding says increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere might not be causing global warming. He has been at a climate change conference in the United States where he heard that solar flares could be linked to temperature change.
Senator Fielding says he will discuss the issue with Climate Change Minister Penny Wong when he meets with her this week. "I intend to take some of the graphs and the charts that I've actually got from Tuesday, and ask her to explain why what they've put forward isn't credible," he said.

I want to shake Steve Fielding like an unwanted baby. How did he even get an engineering degree? Scientific dissent is always needed as part of a healthy system, but here is a man getting swept away by a single source with dubious connections.
Stevie, don't be a lazy shit. If you're truly concerned, read up on the latest research and then come back to us with a more informed opinion - you may just find that your friends' wacky theories have been largely debunked.
Frankly, you're coming off as nothing but a belligerent simpleton who lacks the capacity and willpower to rigorously question and investigate the issues you're throwing into the public arena. Get schooled, son. |
