CAGW skeptics get compared to
Flat Earth Society members again...
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Climate change may be the world’s “most
fearsome” weapon of mass destruction and urgent global action is needed
to combat it, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday,
comparing those who deny its existence or question its causes to people
who insist the Earth is flat.
In a speech to Indonesian students, civic leaders and government
officials in Jakarta, Kerry laid into climate change skeptics, accusing
them of using shoddy science and scientists to delay measures needed to
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases at the risk of imperiling the
planet. He also went after those who dispute who is responsible for such
emissions, arguing that everyone and every country must take
responsibility and act immediately.
John Kerry must not know the president of the actual
Flat Earth Society is a global warming believer.
But the Flat Earth Society is a real group,
and its president says he believes climate change is real. He also
doesn't like being used as an example of backward thinking on the issue.
"For what it's worth, the Flat
Earth Society doesn't have an 'official' position on climate change.
That falls a bit outside our remit," Flat Earth Soceity President Daniel
Shenton told Business Insider in an email from England.
"Personally,
though, I believe the evidence available does support the position that
climate change is at least partially influenced by human industrialization."
The president of the
Flat Earth Society believes in anthropogenic global warming and doesn't want to be used as an example of backward thinking. I am speechless.
