A Debate? More Like Just Hot Air!
November 13, 2008
Lateline's Tony Jones has already shown that he's prepared to cover all sides of the global warming debate
- from "we'll-all-fry" to "we'll-all-die".
Last night, though, he promised something special:
And before we enter the debate, a new question first directly to Ross Garnaut.
A debate? With climate catastrophist Ross Garnaut? At last!
So who does Jones present to argue the other side?
TONY JONES: Okay, let me bring David Karoly in here. You've just heard the pragmatic Professor Garnaut, in his report he says that the global agreement stabilising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at 550 parts per million would be a step forward of historical dimension.
What do you say to that?
DAVID KAROLY: It would be a step forward but it would also commit the world to very dangerous climate change, including major impacts on melting of the Greenland ice sheet, substantial sea level rise, condemn the Great Barrier Reef to almost complete destruction in its northern areas, condemn Australia's alpine areas to essentially becoming sub alpine.
Debate? Yet to hear it, Tony.
