BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT FLANNERY
The Geothermal street rises up in anger following an attack on their holy weather mullah:
• The NSW Treasurer, Michael Costa, a man renowned not only as a climate-change sceptic but also as having the burdens of overweening hubris and deficits of charisma and empathy, has now fully confirmed his vituperative persona with a crass attack upon Tim Flannery and others concerned about environmental degradation. - Tim Coen Croydon Park
• You have to feel sorry for the Treasurer and internationally recognised eminent scientist, Michael Costa. He brands Professor Tim Flannery an “idiot” on the same page as it is reported that extreme weather in both NSW and Queensland will force food prices up threefold. - Deborah Hurst Lindfield
• Costa, you may think Flannery the fool but what I think of you is best left unsaid. - Tully Svoboda Redfern
• I find the thought of Michael Costa calling Tim Flannery an “idiot” to be another wonderful indicator as to the intellect of our politicians. - Neville Brown Croydon
• In any contest of intelligence between Tim Flannery and Michael Costa, I know which man I would back and it wouldn’t be the Treasurer. - Robbie Roach Randwick
The NSW Premier is now attempting to calm these seething warmenists:
Morris Iemma disagrees with Michael Costa that Tim Flannery, the Australian of the Year, is an idiot.
