If you haven’t seen yesterday’s Insiders you simply must go to iView and watch from about the 44 minute mark. Andrew Bolt tells everyone that they should be more like him and do more learning about climate change, and Annabel Crabb tells everyone exactly what sort of learning Bolt is talking about.

Annabel Crabb: Can we be realistic about what’s going on here. This is the pointy end of the lobbying process for a piece of legislation that’s waiting, having it’s fate decided in the Senate, right? Everybody involved is bringing out their best material, you know, and whether it’s Peter Garrett flee your homes or whether it’s (motions to Bolt) you know …

Andrew Bolt: You’re right, but I think there’s a wider thing happening here in the psychology of the debate. I think the scaremongering has got to such absurd levels, absurd levels, that a lot of people even if they believe as you do in the theory and all that are sceptical.

AC: I’m not a practitioner in this debate like you are, all I’m saying is …

AB: You don’t believe it? I thought you did …

AC: … well, you’re a lobbyist too …

AB: … let me finish my point please.

AC: … you are!

AB: I’m a sceptic! I am! But the point is there are so many scares around: there’s apocalyptic fires, run for your lives the seas are coming, everything …

Barrie Cassidy: At both extremes of the debate to be fair.

AC: … I mean you post stuff on your blog that’s, you know, a new study from the University of East Bumcrack about, you know, penguins still being alive in …

AB: At least I study it. You don’t. So perhaps you let me finish my point until you know something about it.

But once you’ve done your Bolt-style learning you obviously want to tell the world so that everyone knows you’re smart with knowledge about the climate change con. With that in mind, make sure you go buy a t-shirt from Groupthink Jason’s very, very nice t-shirt shop.
