Senator Malcolm Roberts schooling the green Aussie Senate Committee on Information Integrity on Climate Change Inquiry on the evidence.
One Nation Senator’s wild climate change claim
…
One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts asked a series of questions about science, including data showing cause and effect, when Dr Karl had an issue with his line of questioning.
“Let’s see if we can agree on something. Do you agree that the climate records show that the last 10 years have been the hottest on record worldwide?” he asked.
Senator Roberts immediately disagreed, claiming the past decade had been “cooler than the 1880s and 1890s in Australia”.
…
Dr Karl was left dumbfounded by the response.
“I feel like I’m talking to a schoolchild who says seven times two is not 14, but instead seven times two is a bicycle,” he said.
Senator Roberts said that response was “one way to make me look like a fool”.
“No, but all the scientists disagree with you,” Dr Karl hit back, adding that “99.999 per cent of the scientists” had a different opinion.
