Graham Young of OnLine Opinion wants the ABC to sort out its chief
science presenter, warming alarmist Robyn "100 metres" Williams:

When it comes to climate science he is no respecter of the facts, having
claimed once that sea waters will rise 100m. He has smeared a respected
academic using doctored quotes and shoddy research, and he puffs his
curriculum vitae with imagined qualifications. It's about time that ABC
science broadcasting was opened up.

After more than 30 years monopolising the field, it's time Williams did
something else.

He's not a big fan of gaia-giddy academic John Quiggin, either.

UPDATE

Readers below rightly point out that Williams did not say the seas will
rise 100 metres this century but that they may do so (which is actually
a physical impossibility, and predicted by not a single scientist in the
field). The second link I give makes this point clear.
