Funny to read him take down Bellamy.

In cyberspace, he says, “the response spreading fastest and furthest is flat-out denial”:

The most popular article on the Guardian’s website last week was the report showing that 2008 is likely to be the coolest year since 2000(1). As the Met Office predicted, global temperatures have been held down by the La Nina event in the Pacific Ocean. This news prompted a race on the Guardian’s comment thread to reach the outer limits of idiocy. Of the 440 responses posted by lunchtime yesterday, about 80% insisted that manmade climate change is a hoax.

I think we now guess at the bulk of Andrew Bolt’s content tomorrow.
