The ABC and climate change
Posted: March 12, 2010 Filed under: Energy & GHG | Tags: ABC, balance, climate change, letters, Maurice Newman, Taegen Edwards, The Age Leave a commentTaegen Edwards has a superb letter in The Age today in response to Maurice Newman’s upbraiding of the ABC for supposed lack of balance on climate change.
She points out that unless it resorts to ideologues, opportunists, vested interests or nutters, where can the ABC possibly find someone who opposes climate change from a rational, evidence-based viewpoint?
The ABC’s obligation to ensure fundamental principles of science and logic are respected must come before any compulsion to provide ‘balance’ in ideology and political point-scoring.
