Australian Global Warming skeptic, Simon Turnill, has just published a funny, yet frightening, piece following up on this revelation. He lays out an 8-step plan of the [modified] Scientific Method purportedly followed by fellow Australians, John Cook & Stephan Lewandowsky.
Read through it and see how many of the same tactics are employed by Suzuki et al on this continent.
Thanks for that Robert. I saved this to my files and sent it to some acquaintances. Also, I would suggest that the left in general uses most of these tactics as a matter of course in pushing their agenda. Adapted versions of these tactics listed by Simon have been used by the left since 1917.
I always get a good laugh when lib’s speak about saving mommy earth. Then jump into their jets (747) and fly everywhere. Have their limos wait for them running with the air on for hours, huge homes.
Yet say over and over. We need to cut back.
Ain’t that the NDP/Libtard election plan?
Lewandosky is well-known to readers of WattsUpWithThat, which Kate has linked in the side bar. He was educated in Canada, so we can count ourselves fortunate that he went to Oz, where, wizard he ain’t.
Heh: the “Modified” Scientific Method, as opposed to the original:
“Men have sought to make a world from their own conception and to draw from their own minds all the material which they employed, but if, instead of doing so, they had consulted experience and observation, they would have the facts and not opinions to reason about, and might have ultimately arrived at the knowledge of the laws which govern the material world.” – Francis Bacon
Environmentalism is the religion and rituals include your Blue Box program where you honour the sacred garbage. The high priests are multi-millionaires, clergy keep everyone in line at the universities and lay workers are handsomely paid bureaucrats. And luckily for this religion your tithe is automatic, it’s included in all the taxes you pay.
