Ian Plimer
Ian Plimer is in the UK at present, and The Telegraph has a short article about five tenets central to his view of climate change, although the article author does his best to ensure that the “consensus” view is represented as well:
- The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has no effect on climate above 50 parts per million (ppm).
- Extraterrestrial events like solar flares have driven major climate change episodes in the geological past.
- Global warming should be welcomed because humans ‘thrive’ in a warmer planet.
- Climate change scientists push global warming theory because it is good for their careers.
- A belief in man-made climate change is a “fundamentalist religion.”

Old George Monbiot is hopping mad about Dr. Plimers broadcast on BBC’s radio 4 ‘Today’ programme.

Sweet Jesu, Monbiot is an arrogant p****, who does the hell he think he is?
Our Lord and b****y Protector? – he has shades of Cromwell in him – no doubt………… all the worst tyrannical bits.
He calls Dr. Plimer and spouts the last few years have been the warmest ever, wrong, just plain wrong, get a grip Monbiot and shut up.
