‘Biddulph is a dangerous contributor to the climate change debate’

Sky News host Chris Kenny says Steve Biddulph's "wild" predictions about climate change are "just so far over the top, they provide exactly the sort of fear-mongering and alarmism that our prime minister was talking about. The child psychologist's column in the Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday labelled Prime Minister Scott Morrison as a bad dad because of his attitude towards global warming. He opened by saying: "Scott Morrison failed an entire generation last week. He dismissed the 300,000 young people and their parents who filled our city streets in the School Strike 4 Climate, as lacking "context and perspective"." Mr Kenny said on Wednesday if you are going to join the debate, let alone lecture others, you have to try to maintain some connection to fact and reality. Biddulph has attacked Morrison's call for calm and rational debate based on facts, and in doing so his loopy response has proved precisely the prime minister's point, he said. I have no idea what Biddulph is like as a father or a psychologist, but I can say very firmly that he is a hopeless, ill-informed and dangerous contributor to the climate change debate. In short he is preaching nonsense, he is spreading fake news. Image: News Corp Australia Read More Our Apps
