The course, called “Making Sense of Climate Denial”, will start next week, and is free and entirely online.

And will preach exclusively to the true believers who are already on board.

This is a clear example of protesting too much.

If the results of their studies were sound, fact-based, repeatable and conclusive, they would not need to offer “classes” on how to counter those who question them.

Neither would they feel the need to call for a modern-day Inquisition to hunt down, destroy, silence and/or imprison those who question them.

This is not science - it is a religion - and a pretty wacky one at that.

” “Ninety-seven per cent of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming;”

No measurable warming in 18 years.

Is THIS man made too ?

Why not offer a course in "Making Sense of Fabricated Gibberish" instead? You could market it to True Believers around the world, and it would be a big hit at UN conferences (in between the bestiality orgies and the "social justice" protests).

In fact, you could tie it in with the "... for Dummies" series of how-to books, since the Dummy demographic constitutes the largest segment of liberals, who are more than willing to be led by the hand into believing things that aren't true.

I think that University of Queensland has its work cut out for it with respect to trying to refute the information presented in the long-established Watts Up With That site, a site devoted to presenting evidence that global warming alarmism is all about politics.

Who here is going to take the class? It should be entitled: Beginning Apologetics for Warming Doctrine. People with an interest in the reasoning and logic of cults should be sure to take advantage of this freebee scheme promoting climate terrorism.

The scum back liberal communist hippies running the University of California offers on their Davis campus a class on Global Warming. Isn’t that a surprise. It is called education but clearly it is not.

That's because people who already believe in man-caused global warming self-selected careers as climate scientists. Duh!!

Why is there such a huge gap between these lying “scientists” and the common people?
1. Because the common people live in the real world and can recognize the strong obnoxious odor of mendacity. It smells identical to male bovine feces.

2. The common people do not expect to receive gubmint grants and payola if they promote the lying AGW mendacity like the “scientists” with their greedy hands out do.

In 99 44/100 percent of these cases, follow the money trail. You’d be amazed how many “scientists” make the ladies at the Las Vegas Bunny Ranch look like Mother Theresa in comparison.

Ninety-seven per cent of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming; however, less than half of Australians are aware of humanity’s role in climate change,

This claim is based on a fraudulent article he wrote with others a few years ago. It has been decisively debunked across the board to the point that it deserves to be called simply, a lie.

The course might be fun to take though, just for grins. And if it's interactive, one could have a heckuva good time pimping the alarmists. I suspect some of the regulars from wattsupwiththat.com will be there as a truth squad.

their operational definition of “scientist” must be really loose. Anyone who states their are a scientist is a scientist.

What a shame I’ll have to miss it as I’m giving the dogs their fleas baths next week.
