I am really confused by the position of Dr Karl. He is running for the Senate on the Climate Change Coalition ticket. As such i posed a question to him regarding Peak Oil and AGW on his Facebook page. he kind of ummed and aahed and promised he would answer it on his blog which he was in the process of setting up.
So shortly after he set up a blog www.drkarl.com yet so far his blog is just full of rubbish about how he thinks Clean Coal is a good short term solution for Australia and pretty much our only option for the next decade. WTF??
For a guy who positions himself as some sort of genius he appears to be wilfully ignorant of gas powered generation, geothermal and other renewable energy sources. And remarkably evasive on the Peak Oil issue.
Does anyone know much about the Climate Change Coalition of which he is a part? Is it an offshoot of the Libs/Nats coalition?
He's not the only high profile environmentalist supporting the Coalition these days;
Greens astounded as Flannery backs Turnbull
In The Age newspaper today the Australian of the Year says he would vote for Mr Turnbull, and that Federal Parliament needs more people like him to tackle climate change.
Strange times indeed...
I don't mind Turnbull so much. I'd almost vote for him myself if he wasn't a member of the Liberal party. He and Joe Hockey are about the only likable figures from that group.
