Bolt - screwed loose

Seasoned blabbermouth Andrew Bolt lets fly over one of his pet delusions; that global warming is a scam and the ABC is a willing participant;
How much longer will ABC management condone or ignore this disgracefully one-sided coverage of the global warming controversies by its flagship programs? This is treating the audience like fools. 
Most (if not all) of Bolt's references are from dubious sources, if not fake eg
- the citing of false information about the dangers to the Amazon
This allegation was later proved to be false and a retraction published
The article "UN climate panel shamed by bogus rainforest claim" (News, Jan 31) stated that the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report had included an "unsubstantiated claim" that up to 40% of the Amazon rainforest could be sensitive to future changes in rainfall...
 
...In fact, the IPCC’s Amazon statement is supported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence.

Will Andrew Bolt correct his own "disgracefully one-sided coverage of the global warming controversies?" I doubt it.
