MESSAGE OF HARM
Peter Garrett hails the coronation of environvangelist Tim Flannery:
Newly-crowned Australian of the Year Tim Flannery has the ability to cut through the fog of scientific data to communicate the message of harm being done to the environment, Labor’s climate change spokesman Peter Garrett says.
Oh, he cuts through data, all right. I wonder if Flannery celebrated with a few drinks from a Buick-sized refrigerator?
UPDATE. Another bearded religious fellow also cuts through the fog of scientific data to communicate the message of harm being done to the environment:
John Mitchell, chief scientist at Britain’s Met Office, noted al Qaeda had already listed environmental damage among its litany of grievances against the United States.
“You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and industries,” al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden wrote in a 2002 “letter to the American people.”
Reported by Reuters. Of course.
