He is the Climate Change poster boy in this country and he's a grandstanding, ridiculously alarmist idiot who continues to make ridiculous predictions that are ridiculed by his fellow scientists,
Yep, where is the long list of papers he has written that have been ridiculed thanks. Oh wait, Karl doesn't do the whole "backing up my claims with evidence" thing.
Feel free to have your own emotional driven opinion Karl, but when quoting me and trying to tell me I'm wrong, I'm only going to listen if you actually post something of substance. I'm interested in the truth that I can back up with facts, not the skeptic rhetoric.
Disowning him is like being catholic and saying that what the Pope says is of no significance.
And this is just a massive strawman.
Argument:
Time Flannery is a poster boy for climate science, therefore anyone who accepts any facts about climate science must agree with everything he says.
Person X accepts the greenhouse effect warms the planet and will do so if greenhouse gas levels rise.
Therefore, Person X must agree with everything Tim Flannery says.
See what I mean? In a discussion about science there is no logical connection. What I have written above is your argument, it is clearly an attempt to strawman others.
There is a thread in here about the LHC. Did you make sure everyone in the thread who agreed with CERN checked the opinion of the Australian Institute of Physics president or their posterboy? No, this sort of tactic only gets employed when you feel like it. There is no consistency.
Not to mention "posterboy's" are created by the media, which makes this belief of yours even more silly, given you routinely criticize the media for incorrectly reporting climate science.
This would be in no-way different from me tieing everything Lord Monckton says to climate skeptics (he is a huge poster-boy), which I wouldn't do because that is illogical (as shown). But I don't like that comparison because I doubt Flannery's scientific work (which I haven't read) is even remotely as retarded as Monckton's rhetoric.
