- Senator Roberts.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
How dare you Michael Mann.
Last Monday, the infamous Michael Mann
fabricator of the completely discredited
hockey stick temperature graph,
appeared on the ABC programme "Q&A"
and teamed up with the ABC,
to discredit an Australian
hero, Jim Molan.
How dare you Michael Mann pretend
you are scientific when you are not?
How dare you Michael Mann for maligning
a marvellous leader, Jim Molan,
who has the courage to
challenge the status quo
and state a simple fact.
You come down here
pretending you have evidence
that carbon dioxide from human activity
affects climate and needs to be cut,
when you have no such evidence.
How do I know?
Easy, you released papers that led
to the infamous hockey stick graph,
falsely fabricating high temperatures.
Despite repeated requests from scientists,
you refuse to hand over your data.
No evidence.
Scientifically, your claim
should have been completely
and immediately dismissed.
The state of Virginia Attorney
General asked for your data
from the University of Virginia,
because your research was
reportedly taxpayer funded.
Your University refused.
No evidence.
Didn't the court find it?
Sorry, then you sued Professor
Tim Ball, a real scientist,
and then in court you
refused to provide evidence
to support your case.
No evidence.
Didn't the court find you in contempt?
Regardless, your claim was dismissed,
and you failed to provide any evidence.
Yet Professor Ball's team provided
plenty of solid statements and evidence
from internationally reputable scientists.
You are the one in the
climate gain scandals
who wanted to hide the
temperature data, decline,
the temperature decline.
Didn't you hide the evidence?
You have sued people that
dared to question you
to shut them down, to stop the evidence.
You now say Senator Molan as a policymaker
should ask some unnamed
Australian scientists
for their opinion.
Name any such people with evidence proving
human carbon dioxide
affects climate variability.
After 21 years, you have
still not released data
for your hockey stick graph
fabricating high temperatures,
yet many people had
completely debunked it.
My understanding is that fraud can include
the presentation of
something that is not true
with the intention of personal gain.
You claim you were awarded a Nobel Prize.
That is false.
You contributed to the UN's
climate body, the IPCC,
that was an, that was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Note, that was not for science.
After the UN IPCC was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize,
it dropped your graph.
And if that's shonky
political body dropped it
that really destroys,
kills your credibility.
You have a record of serially
misrepresenting climate,
serially misrepresenting science,
and serially misrepresenting humanity.
The use of hydrocarbon fuels such as gas,
coal and oil has liberated humanity
and saved the forest and whales
that previously fueled
civilization and human progress.
Your advocacy, your blind
advocacy to stop their use
is anti human, anti environment.
It hurts our security and our sovereignty.
Now your host, the ABC,
has been a blind supporter of an advocate
for others misrepresenting
climate and science,
including the notorious Al Gore,
Rajendra Pachauri, Gavin Schmidt,
people advocating for
cutting hydrocarbon fuels,
have branded those who
dissent from your advocacy
as climate criminals.
I believe, Mr. Mann that
in the very near future,
it is people like you who
misrepresent science and climate
that the public will see
as climate criminals.
None of you have ever presented
the empirical evidence
proving human production of carbon dioxide
from our use of hydrocarbon fuels,
hurts our environment and future.
You're here in Australia now,
so I challenge you to a public
debate on climate science
and on the corruption of climate science.
Secondly, all you need to
do is provide me with the
specific location of the
empirical scientific evidence,
the hard validated data within a logical
scientific framework that
proves cause and effect,
and I will retract this speech.
Mr. Mann, I need specific
publication titles,
specific page numbers.
No entity anywhere in the
world has provided this.
Now don't bother to smear me
or get someone to smear me,
that has no effect on me.
I love it.
I use it to prove that those who smear
only do so because they
lack hard evidence.
How dare you Michael Mann,
provide the evidence.
- Order.
Senator Hume.
