Sky News host Chris Kenny says “we are not getting any smarter” when it comes to climate change, saying the debate gets “dumber and dumber”.
“There has always been more politics, more posturing, and more emotion in these debates than there has ever been facts and reason,” he said.
Mr Kenny accused the ABC of “telling outright lies about this year's fires being ‘unprecedented’ and about conditions being worse than ever”. “We pay these people,” he said. “They retain relevant information like goldfish while flapping around like seals.”
