The reason the “sceptics are winning” is because the scientists are not explaining climate science to the public well enough. Of course, that’s it – makes sense. Nothing to do with the scandal ridden and corrupt IPCC, or the fact that the world continues to ignore the dire predictions of the climate models, of course.
Environmentalist Tim Flannery has blamed scientists for a rise in climate scepticism, saying they had not clearly explained the science to a ”confused Australian public”.
Professor Flannery, a long-time climate campaigner [so no bias there, clearly – Ed], told The Age that scientists needed to get back into the community and explain the link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
He said a lack of simple communication to the public about the science of climate change meant sceptics had been able to fill the void with misinformation.
Professor Flannery also supported comments by Climate Change Minister Penny Wong that there was a concerted world effort by sceptics to stop action on global warming.
”We’ve got a big problem with the gap between scientific information and a very confused public here in Australia,” Professor Flannery said.
”The only way to solve that is to listen to the Australian people’s questions and talk to them about it, and they [the scientists] have been rather poor at doing that.”
Unfortunately for you, the public are hell of a lot smarter than you give them credit for, Tim, and they can see straight through your flannel.

This “man” is unreal. What he’s saying is that the lies and crap we have been giving the public aren’t working and have finally been exposed – so now let’s change the way we BS to the people so we still have their support ($$$$ and taxes).
Is this man really a scientist? No he isn’t. He’s an advocate for political control (and hence his standing in the KRudd’s socialist empire). I wonder if he said all this with a straight face. He couldn’t lie straight in bed.
The only reason he supports this crap, is he’s making a fortune out of it.
I am so glad the truth is being revealed. We must make sure that it continues to come out, as these people want to make our lives worse than those in the third world!! He is one that has to be made accountable for this fraud. These people are so much like the National Socialist of Germany it is very scary.
Ha ha ha ha. This is just priceless. Where’s my Mastercard? So Tim, get Kev to send out some more clones of Penny WONG. That’ll get the message across.
I was nearly saturated in hot tea when my wife read the small piece on p13 of the telegraph today declaring that Bondi Beach was at risk over the next century due to a sea level rise in excess of 1 metre. You’d never guess the author, the so called environmental scientist Tim Flannery.
