The Sky is Falling? (or melting) - Part 5


This is outside the question framework that I made, but it was very interesting and spoke directly to the argument that is often made that "99% of climate scientists agree" with whatever new policy is getting proposed.

The video shows three scientists from Australia discussing comments made by the former Australian Prime Minister Julia Guillard.

1. Garth Paltridge
2. Peter Read
3. Bob Carter

These guys are all legit academics. Admittedly the Bolt is not a liberal show, but the questions and presentation overall is not super hardline conservative.

The discussion is interesting. The biggest takeaway I have here is that these guys very much object to the over dramatization of the topic. Also, the amount of uncertainty and ambiguity with which they discuss the topic shows that it is not a clear cut discussion.
