Man-Made Climate Change: A 'Religion' of Profits, Prophets, and Indulgences, Says Prof. Ian Plimer

Geologist Prof. Ian Plimer: "[The man-made climate change narrative] has got nothing to do with science. It's got nothing to do with climate. It's got nothing to do with the environment. It is the new religion."

"It is a new religion where you pay your indulgences, which is your higher electricity costs. You have a holy book, which is the IPCC reports... And you have your gurus and your prophets, who are there profiting by being a prophet."

"Belief is a word you use in politics and religion... As soon as someone says the word 'denier', I say, well, you're not a scientist. That's not in the scientific lexicon."
