On Q&A on September 23 last year, Kerry O’Brien answered a question from an audience member about climate change. Speaking ex-cathedra, as becomes his venerable status as a doyen of all right-thinking, he bemoaned how the climate emergency had been apparent to him from as far back as the 1980s when “highly reputable scientists first started articulating the science of greenhouse gases and the implications of that.” 

As an evidently devout adherent of the religion of scientism, he condemned the blasphemy of denying the undeniable truth, issuing the usual anathemas and calls to repentance for apostates.
