"The Government is seeking nominations from relevant scientists to
participate in what the IPCC says is a “demanding” five-year process of
establishing the best estimates of the trajectory, impacts and capacity
for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change."

There should be enough obfuscation there even for ?????!

Though, just from those words, it does seem that things are more open to
acceptance that climate change could be, and probably is, the result of
actions or inactions of the sun, moon, stars, mother nature, man, Uncle
Tom Cobley and all .. and perhaps aliens?

And further, from the same article:
"(UNSW Professor Andy) Pitman differentiates between genuine sceptics,
who are open to being convinced by evidence on climate change, and
outright denialists and conspiracy theorists, with whom there is little
point in engaging. “That’s the dilemma about debating and engaging with
these people. It’s hard to distinguish between the conspiracy theorists
and those with an open mind looking for answers, with whom you really
want to engage in debate and hopefully win over,” Pitman told Crikey."

and some of the links therefrom are also interesting.
