Dragon the chain
Conservative politicians in Australia continue to embarrass themselves over climate change, with Dr Peter Phelps, the government whip in the newly elected coalition government in NSW declaring that dragons have the same relevance to climate change science as carbon dioxide. "I foresee a future where dragons are made responsible for global warming," he apparently told the state parliament. "Perhaps dragons should be investigated even more deeply into their role in climate change… because it has the same sort of scientific relevance as carbon dioxide has." Phelps’ biography on the parliament website describes him as a “libertarian with social conservative tendencies, placing him within the 'fusionist' school of conservative political philosophy. His political hero is Ronald Reagan.”
