Behind the Times
It’s good to see right-wing commentators like Piers Ackerman in the Sunday Telegraph can keep their line consistent (google context) as the gap yawns between their reality, where burning fossil fuels actually helps the planet and oil companies are everyone’s friends, and everyone else’s realities. Here’s Ackerman on yesterday’s Garnaut release:
[Garnaut's] report is little more than a fearmongering document designed to bolster the age-old socialist agenda of wealth redistribution.
It fails from the basis of science and it fails from the basis of economics but it will, however, warm the hearts of the anti-capitalist doom merchants of Europe
Yep, it’s all the fault of those progress-hating Europeans. It’s pretty obvious from Akerman’s rant that he didn’t watch Garnut’s speech and has not read the report. The world’s moved on mate, and left you and your sad band of ranters well and truly marooned on an island of ignorance. Your are behind the times and lagging. — DS
