Yea true, the Time article itself isn't that bad. It is more the stuff following it (that gets me annoyed), copied/pasted from Andrew Bolt's blog. He is trying to imply that Tim Flannery claimed sea levels would rise to lower the price of seaside housing so he could purchase a house in the future. Yet the quote provided doesn't have a reference so we don't know when or where he made this statement. It is just ridiculous really. The people claiming we need to be more skeptical of climate science (in Australia) will take anything Andrew Bolt writes on his blog at face value, even though most of it is completely inaccurate garbage.
Let's admit it.
Most of the discussions revolving around climate change IS silly.
Far too emotional, driven by economical reasons rather than scientific findings aso aso aso.....
Mind that I am talking about the DISCUSSIONS, not the science itself. Although that is somewhat silly as well, as they try to make predictions on something that they are only now beginning to get a tenuous grasp on.
