Barnaby Joyce, speaking of the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis
on ABC radio yesterday:

"I become sceptical when religious fervour builds up around an issue"

Barnaby describes himself as a "born again" Christian. He's not
sceptical when hew should be and "sceptical" when there's no good
basis for it.

Of course, his broader claim that an ETS will be a disaster would
itself require some modelling, but he advances none and argues from a
broad generalisation.

Again, he's not sceptical and dopesn't even bother putting a detailed
argument.

Barnaby illustrates the maxim that the best jokes are told by those
who don't realise they are telling them, or at least, can seem that
way.
