Psychiatrists have detected the first case of "climate change delusion"
- hugh 18y agoThis article agrees with all my prejudices, but I still don't think it should be here.
- baruman 18y agoI just hope idiots like this live long enough to experience everyday morning temps of 95 degrees plus...
- hugh 18y agoYou hope he lives five billion years so that he can see the sun become a red giant? Seriously, everyday 95+ temperatures in anyone's lifetime? Ridiculous exaggerations like that are the reason that overdone backlash articles like this exist.

- khafra 18y agoMy goodness! A study commissioned in India, a nation which must choose between an order-of-magnitude increase in CO2 emissions or remaining far longer in relative poverty, determined that raising CO2 emissions are just fine. I'm not qualified to comment on climate science, but it doesn't take a clinical psychologist to spot the conflict of interests.
- hugh 18y agoYou can't go around dismissing scientific studies just because the authors have a conflict of interest. There's almost always a conflict of interest in any scientific study. For example in most studies there's an "interesting" result (e.g. method P works, X causes Y, Z is a real phenomenon) that might come out or a "less interesting" result (method P doesn't work, X has nothing to do with Y, Z doesn't really exist). The interesting result is almost always better for the scientist's career.
- timcederman 18y agoHahaha, I knew this would be an Andrew Bolt article as soon as I saw it was news.com.au. My brother sends me his stuff all the time. He makes some salient points, but in general he's just pissed off that people are taking climate change so seriously.
- tbx 18y agoWhat a bunch of crap. Climate change is a fact. But unlike the hole in the ozone layer (which is being fixed), when there are HUGE economic interests involved, a change in enviromental politics is really hard to make.
- jerry5 18y agoWhy is it that climate change denialism shows up on Hacker News a lot as of late ... this isn't the first article of this type that I'm seeing here.
