Andrew Bolt really is dumber than a juvanile sea-sponge

Presumably his supportive audience are somewhat lacking in the intellectual department too.

Let us examine today's post:

The sight of so many people losing their jobs can still bring a smile to the face of a planet-saver like Ross Garnaut:

THE international economic downturn may result in a short-term benefit with a decrease in production leading to a slowing in the growth of greenhouse pollution, one of the Federal Government’s top advisers has forecast.

At least he makes the link explicit - the most effective global warming policies will make you poorer.

If Garnaut were to make the link explicit, he would have written 'the most effective global warming policies will make you poorer' or something remotely similar, which, of course, he doesn't.

And that's assuming by 'most effective global warming policies' Bolty actually means 'most effective global warming mitigation policies'.  Who knows with our confused little fella.  We've just lived under the most effective global warming policies for the past decade or so, which should be quite obvious.

But is the link even implicit?

Not unless you're logically-challenged.

It's fair to say that the destruction of our universe by trans-dimensional invaders from the planet Zorb would in fact slow the growth of greenhouse pollution.  One of the few benefits, you might argue.

So, according to Bolty, the most effective 'global warming' policy must be the destruction of our universe by trans-dimensional invaders from the planet Zorb.

I, for one, salute our new galactic overlords.
