John Howard: Global Warming Battle ‘Has Become A Religion’
Former Prime Minister Of
Australia Delivers Annual GWPF Lecture
An overriding feature of the climate debate is the
constant attempt to intimidate policy makers, in some cases successfully, with
the mantras of “follow the science” and “the science is truly settled”. The
purpose is to create the impression that there is really no room for argument;
this is not really a public policy issue; it is one on which the experts have
spoken, and we would all be quite daft to do other than follow the
prescriptions, it is asserted, which flow automatically from the scientific
findings.
Scientists are experts in science. Judges are experts in
interpreting the law and doctors are skilled at keeping us healthy-provided we
take their advice. But parliaments – composed of elected politicians are the
experts at public policy making, and neither expressly or impliedly should they
ever surrender that role to others.--John Howard: One Religion Is
Enough - 2013 Annual GWPF Lecture London 5 November 2013
