Because Flannery’s quotes were taken out of context, misrepresented and occasionally were just flat out lied about from sources biased against him. As a former Climate Commissioner he would have been target number one for the deniers.
Yeah, nah. He wasn't taken out of contest at all. Read what his (real) peers say about him.
He was completely out of his depth. And an inappropriate choice for climate commissioner. Any talk of misrepresentation is him trying to re-write history.
I'm not a deny-er by the way, I just remember his stupid comments.
