Canadaโs most loquacious iconoclast, the grandiloquent Rex Murphy, was having forth on CBCโs The Nationalย again last night, arguing that Paul Martinโs position on climate change is hypocritical (which is true), and that the whole notion of global warming is too confusing to be believable (which isย pathetic).
It is ever a disappointment that, in rustling up his fatuous philippics,ย Murphy can always find time to commune with his Thesaurus but never manages an opportunity toย check hisย facts.
Five minutes with a Grade 7 science teacher would be sufficient to understand why โwarmer canย meanย wetter.โ Three minutes on the Nature website would explain that, in certain global pockets,ย warmer can indeed mean colder, especially if the Gulf Stream stalls in the Atlanticย Ocean.
Cโmon Rex. Enough with the Ciceronian silliness, the blithe blatherย wrapped in lavish language. How about a little reliable content, for aย change?
