ABC Prime Time News in Australia this week stooped to abject petty namecalling with despised climate change deniers robbing Australia again.
The full headline:
“Climate change deniers robbing Australia of time to respond to impacts, Science Minister Karen Andrews warns”
…
And as an inane aside, the Australian Science Minister obediently repeated a twenty year old robot meme that Al Gore invented. Unlike what the ABC headline and wording suggests, it doesn’t appear Karen Andrews mentioned “deniers”. That profoundly unscientific and inflammatory activist term seems to be all the ABC’s. And they call themselves “reporters”?
The formerly esteemed journal Nature did it once, and after I pointed out how unscientific it is, they backed down.
What the Minister for Science said:
Those who are still debating whether climate change is real are wasting time.
The people wasting out time are the ones using vague, ill defined, unscientific terms to discuss the end of a debate that never began. What’s “climate change” mean to the listeners? Anything they like. What’s a denier, just the brain of a lizard.
It’s pure namecalling. It’s a science debate yet no one can define a “climate change denier” […]
