It’s an assertion repeated by politicians and climate campaigners the world over: “2,500 scientists of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agree that humans are causing a climate crisis.”

Brian, I asked the same question as to why On Line Opinion was carrying a 6 month old story. Apparently we found out late in the day, so my editor was already more or less committed to it. However, thinking about it a little longer, like Mondo, I hadn't seen it covered in Australia so it went up.
It's sparked some fireworks and Clive Hamilton has submitted a piece which we will publish later this week, to which I will reply. He thinks it represents the "demise" of On Line Opinion. I beg to differ.
