Professor Ian Plimer

Now, this is a question I always ask people who call themselves climate scientists, and I question that.

I say, show me.

Show me the evidence, because that's what you do in science.

Show me the evidence.

Show me that the human emissions drive global warming.

And if you can show me, then you've got to show me that the other emissions, which are natural, which are 97% of the emissions, don't drive global warming.

It's never been done.

So the whole thing is a fallacy right from the start.

And it's keeping a lot of people employed in universities and in institutions and in government.

It's driven by bureaucrats who are green.

We've had a 40-year dumbing down or 50-year dumbing down of our education system.

And these people now give us the benefit of their knowledge as bureaucrats and as politicians.

You've used that word believe again.

And belief is a religious phenomenon.

And I think this is a new religion.

We have, in the West, almost completely abandoned Christianity.

But we have to have faith in something.

And this is the new religion.

And so an intelligent person like Boris Johnson might understand the classics, but he needs to go back a few more thousand years.

But even if he did read the classics, he would know that in the time of Jesus, it was warmer than now.
