Ian Plimer op-ed in The Australian again presents long list of false claims about climate

“This article is a mixture of misdirection, misleading claims, and outright falsehoods. The author attempts to paint a picture of current climate change as simply a continuation of natural changes that have occurred in the past. But this neglects the clear evidence that climate change over the last two centuries has been shown to be largely man-made, that it is much more rapid that anything we have seen in the last two thousand years if not longer, and that it is occurring in the context of a globe with more than 7 billion human inhabitants.”

Commentary in The Australian by Ian Plimer relies on false claims to make its case

“If you think that potentially causing hundreds of millions of refugees and trillions of dollars in damages is fine because some plants did well in the same conditions millions of years ago when humans weren’t around, then you could support this article.”

Ian Plimer wrongly claims that carbon dioxide emissions do not cause climate change

While CO2 constitutes a small percentage of the gases in the atmosphere, it is a critically important “knob” controlling Earth’s climate. When the concentration of CO2 increases, more outgoing heat energy is absorbed, raising surface temperatures.

Ian Plimer incorrectly claims human-caused emissions are short-lived

Carbon dioxide flows through the atmosphere, ocean, land ecosystems, and rock of the Earth. Human emissions have pushed these flows out of balance, causing CO₂ to accumulate in the atmosphere, strengthening the greenhouse effect for hundreds to thousands of years.

The Australian publishes “deeply ill-informed” opinion on climate by Ian Plimer

“This article is an amalgamation of logical fallacies, misleading talking points, and downright factually incorrect statements regarding the physics of the climate system. Every talking point in this article has been debunked many times over and it is astonishing that this was published.”

Human activities have dramatically increased atmospheric CO₂ levels, causing imbalances in the global carbon cycle

Atmospheric CO2 has increased rapidly as a result of human activities. Although human-caused emissions of CO2 are small relative to natural flows into and out of the atmosphere, the human contribution has caused an imbalance in the global carbon cycle that jeopardizes land and ocean ecosystems.

Commentary in The Australian ignores evidence and misrepresents research while falsely claiming humans are not responsible for climate change

“Yet another in the exhausting heap of opinions choosing not to engage with evidence, while still expecting readers to believe inaccurate and baseless claims. It is baffling why publications such as The Australian wish to promote opinions that are both not well-argued and demonstrably not based on fact.”
