Denialists are not fools says Mark Latham

Mark Latham

Former Labor Party Leader, Mark Latham, was never shy of speaking his mind and he does just that in a recent article in the Australian Financial Review.

Discussing climate change Latham says: “It would be comforting to believe that the denialist army is composed of fools. This is simply not the case. Many of the denialists are accomplished and educated people. It would also be comforting to think that they represent a small island of unreason in an ocean of rationality, like people opposed to immunisation. This also however is not true.”

The Latham opinion piece - “Climate change denial not just for fools” – was published on April 20 this year.
