  • Environmentalist Tim Flannery has blamed scientists for a rise in climate scepticism, saying they had not clearly explained the science to a ''confused Australian public''.

  • ''We've got a big problem with the gap between scientific information and a very confused public here in Australia,'' Professor Flannery said.

    ''The only way to solve that is to listen to the Australian people's questions and talk to them about it, and they [the scientists] have been rather poor at doing that.''

  • At the conference, Senator Wong released a government position paper on climate change adaptation, which highlights the need for consistent policies around Australia to prepare for future impacts that are ''already built into the system''.

Greg's Comment:

More disregard for the intellectual competency of the Australian people.  A "confused Australian public" indeed.  Government apologist, Professor Tim Flannery, should remember that he was only a member of that same Australian public before he became Australian of the Year
