Maurice Newman, head of the Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council, does not accept the science of climate change or the necessity of decarbonisation, and has added to a sizable collection of op-eds in The Australian with another piece. He ends it with this:
“While the debate over the RET and Direct Action shows all sides of politics remain hostage to the climate change cartel, an ABC radio poll asked: “Is the IPCC right that on current fossil use ‘projectories’, we are heading for a global warming of four or five degrees by century’s end?” The result? Of 3101 votes counted, 91 per cent voted no, only 9 per cent yes. Enough said.”
This is the poll he cited. It was one of a number of questions posted by the ABC.
The poll received about 2,500 more votes than ABC Radio’s other polls. This is why. He got the help of the climate denier network.

@HisKingdom4Ever Heh, ABC ‘disappeared’ the poll into the archives very quickly. Didn’t like 90% of people disagreeing with #IPCC doomsters.

This is a small selection of tweets, blogs and Facebook posts asking members of the climate denial community to vote in the poll. Enough said?
