The Cult of Global Warming

Another scientist speaks out, this time from Australia. Will he be heard? Of course global warming is a cult and fad. Or will the psychos stick with 'consensus' as if there are no dissenting smart people out there?

Geologist Ian Plimer takes a contrary view, arguing that man-made climate change is a con trick perpetuated by environmentalists

BY JONATHAN MANTHORPE, VANCOUVER SUN, JULY 28, 2009

Ian Plimer has outraged the ayatollahs of purist environmentalism, the Torquemadas of the doctrine of global warming, and he seems to relish the damnation they heap on him.

Plimer is a geologist, professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, and he may well be Australia's best-known and most notorious academic.

Plimer, you see, is an unremitting critic of "anthropogenic global warming" -- man-made climate change to you and me -- and the current environmental orthodoxy that if we change our polluting ways, global warming can be reversed.
