Scientists hit back at Craig Kelly's 'brainwashed climate cultists' spray

In response, Mr Kelly told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald he was happy to be called a climate sceptic, but said calling him a climate change denier was offensive.

"A denier is a slur equating you to a Holocaust denier, and trying to silence debate on this issue," he said.
