Let’s meet and greet our local climate sceptics with confidence – and a smile

29 August 2016 Mik Aidt Australian matters, Commentary, Educational, Local Geelong matters 3 comments

Modern society is a suicide cult

24 September 2013 Jens-André Herbener Commentary

Liberal and Conservative politicians accuse science of climate change of doomsday hysteria, but do not see the religious plank in their own eyes. Most people have heard about cults, which in the name of religious fanaticism commit collective suicide and

Climate scepticism paralyses political climate initiatives

15 April 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary
