I wonder…

Could the fact that Aus­tralia is still refus­ing to sign Kyoto have any­thing to do with the fact that a cer­tain journ­al­ist is very buddy buddy with cer­tain high-rank­ing mem­bers of the gov­ern­ment [1] and that journ­al­ist recently pub­lished an art­icle claim­ing global warm­ing was bunkum while rely­ing on false evid­ence?

[1] The info is now sub­scriber only, but the news from Crikey was: Seen dining at The European on Melbourne’s Spring Street — Alex­an­der Downer and Andrew Bolt. Enjoy­ing a very merry time, apparently.
