But down around 5%, it divides the coalition into two distinct groups: reasonable people vs climate change deniers. The Liberal Party is now seriously thinking about dumping its leader. Now that's divisive! Hi David,

But down around 5%, it divides the coalition into two distinct groups: reasonable people vs climate change deniers. The Liberal Party is now seriously thinking about dumping its leader. Now that’s divisive!

It's just that we've let ours get some air and senior Liberals have started believing their own propaganda e-mails.

The crazies don’t have the same sway everywhere, eg

I wonder what the further fallout from this politically is going to look like around the world. Surely we won't be the only country with partisan ideas about climate change? Interesting stuff.
