ANDREW BOLT|Old Dog Thoughts | News Corporation employs Andrew Bolt and provides him with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Bolt's Blog not only advocates conservative, right wing and Tea Party views it moderates out most opposing opinions which he is entitled to do. However Andrew Bolt simply lies when he says he provides an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no spin zone. He doesn't it's all spin.
Once Leftists claimed global warming would dry out Sydney's Warragamba dam. Alarmist Tim Flannery in 2005: "There's only two years' water supply in Warragamba Dam… If the computer models are right then drought conditions will become permanent." Today the same newspaper quotes Leftists saying making Warragamba dam bigger will flood sacred sites.
How do you begin to have a discussion with a man who maintained that the planet was cooling since 1998 for some 20 years. Someone who unlike Flannery has no regard for the word 'if' when placed before a proposition. Someone with no regard for logic. You don't! It's Bolt whose standing alone on a street corner denying Climate Change is nothing to worry about. He just happens to have a bigger loudspeaker than Flannery. However he's fast becoming a loner in a country that claims the world of science is wrong makes mistakes and interest driven policy decisions are a better way to go. That their opinion is 'right' just because it better serves their pecuniary and political interests.
Scientific modelling doesn't declare itself to be 'right' it's indicates trends and probabilities on the evidence collected. Trends are the patterns being indicated. Bolt on the other hand spends his time offering nothing but denial on what he says are faulty models because of a single mistake. Strange that science agrees with him but has moved on. It has a methodology whereas Bolt has none and only looks backward and never addresses the overall 40 years of evidence and data that shows the planet hasn't been cooling but warming and 'if' that's the case and continues to the probability of catastrophe is becoming greater than his simplistic dumb-arse denials (ODT)
