Australia the embarrassment, self-inflicted

This blog is not supposed to be about Australia, the country, as such but I couldn't ignore that the country is now being managed by insulting international experts and relying on wikipedia as the source for 'facts'.
Christiana Figueres executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is talking through her hat  says the Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott. He just can't help his misogynist self shining through his ignorance.

Greg Hunt, Environment Minister, confidently uses Wikipedia as his source for claims that the devastating fires in NSW this week do not in any way have anything to do with climate change.
Sorry to burst your worldview balloon Greg but there ain't no tooth fairy:
Wikipedia itself says:
Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start: they may contain false or debatable information. Indeed, many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint; and, after a long process of discussion, debate, and argument, they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through consensus   link to Wikipedia
