A motion passed at the party's state council calls on the
government to "arrange and hold public debates/discussions" between
scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and
"independent climate scientists".
The motion says the events should cover "the global
warming/climate change debate"; "the claims by the IPCC"; and
the statement "is all the science settled".
Read The Sydney
Morning Herald story - “NSW Liberals call for national debates on climate change science.”
(What is it – wilful
blindness, ignorance, arrogance, ideological siloing or just stupidity?
Whatever, our “NSW Liberals” have illustrated their inability to remain abreast
of world affairs as the science surrounding our disrupted climate system is
settled. Yes, we (humans) are responsible and it would be a gross error to organize
debates/discussion between scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and "independent” climate scientists as that would
give similar credence to all participants and that is misguided idea as the
findings of the IPCC is the work of literally thousands of the world’s leading
climate scientists, while those who claim “independence” are, by comparison,
just a handful of scientists, many with questionable links to fossil fuels industries
and of that handful, there is a few who are honest, legitimate climate scientists.
The so-called
debate/discussions would prove nothing, other than further confuse many people
and so do little more than prolong through further procrastination the need for
humanity to actually do something to mitigate the impact of climate change and
make some decisions about how we must prepare and adapt to what is unfolding – Robert McLean.)
