Climate Change Seminar, Yass Tribune 27 Oct 11“………There are a sizeable number of climate sceptics in Australia so it is hardly surprising when it is revealed by the Canberra science communicator, Dr Craig Cormick, in Australia roughly every second person believes in psychic powers such as ESP. One in three believes in UFOs and one in five believes in magic? Also, a 2005 survey published in the Medical Journal of Australia stated that half of all Australians are taking alternative medicines, with one in four not even telling their doctor they are taking them. Other surveys conducted in Australia indicate that about 80 per cent of the population hold at least one paranormal belief, which includes astrology – and the Tribune itself has just recently introduced a column of ‘Your stars with Alison Moroney’ – and one in 10 Americans also said that astrology was ‘very scientific’. In the UK belief in UFOs is about evenly divided into thirds between those who say UFOs have visited the earth, those who say they have not and those who were undecided.
It seems that the climate change sceptics are probably candidates for membership of the ‘flat Earth society’ and would have been howling for the death of Galileo for his alleged heresy in his suggestion that the Earth revolved around the sun and not, as the Catholic church of the time dogmatised, that the Earth was the centre of the solar system and the sun revolved around it!….”
