Many thanks for the lin...@ Bill - very interesting. Many thanks for the link. The comments were fascinating, especially Rex Murphy's. He revealed a remarkably disingenuous bias, especially his ongoing attachment to the now thoroughly debunked "climategate" scandal. The problem confronting a person of some intellect clinging to a blatantly false hypothesis is that it keeps getting more difficult to hang on. It's more draining and I wonder if Murphy's mind must not snap at some point. Until I read his obsessive, dogged commentary I did not fully appreciate how intellectually invested he is in his untenable view.<br /><br />I found it interesting when someone refuted his claim that contrarian scientists could get no funding for their research by pointing out that the fossil energy giants would literally pour money on such types, Murphy retreated, claiming his "sweetie" had arrived and he had to leave - only in short order he returned, just not to the problem he had so gracelessly dodged.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-79261575402696488722016-05-11T16:30:47.010-07:002016-05-11T16:30:47.010-07:00I expect you're entirely correct, Anon.<br />I expect you're entirely correct, Anon.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-92083712800082229512016-05-11T16:19:48.782-07:002016-05-11T16:19:48.782-07:00For years now, we've heard about forest fires ...For years now, we've heard about forest fires and drought being caused by climate change ... in Australia.<br />Why is such a political s!*t storm when it's brought up here?<br />Because our politicians are juvenile delinquents funded by the oil business and our media props them up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
