While Abbotts denial is a concern, I dont like people using such emotive and graphic comparisons in order to discredit those they disagree with.

If you want to be respected in your field of profession, just debate the facts.

The true message gets lost as people focus on the drama instead.

He could have said abbotts belief in climate change is likened to a teenage boys best method of contraception is the pull out method, but it just doesnt have the same impact does it as the one used above.

It's an important analogy. Politicians and political parties need to be told their inaction will come with a heavy political price. Abbott's legacy and the credibility of his party will be trashed beyond repair if he does not take the threat of global warming seriously.

It's a ludicrous analogy and the fact you support it shows just how gullible you are.

I'm not the one denying the science, armchair.

You might not have posted for 6 months but surely you watched the news, read a paper.

Abbott & his band of naysayers are the undisputed champions of the highlighted.

I hope there are many challenges to his title, in fact I hope the whole country is paralayzed as Labor & the rest indulge in a 3 year dummy spit.

Pfizer has a vested interest in cancer drugs.

Is cancer therefore a hoax?

But lets just leave it to the hardest arses in business, Insurance companies for years have been warning & factoring in climate change.

Pfizer is a commercial operation with share holders dickhead, not some "supposed" evangelical academic do-gooder who's opinion is pomoted as genuine concern, instead of his special interest in promoting that which is to his own personal and financial advantage.......just like Pfizer, the difference being they are honest about their interests.
