ABC [Australia's] Science Show host Robyn Williams says those who contradict him when he makes absurdly alarmist – and false – claims about global warming just don’t understand “nuance”. Read more here.
As Robyn Williams is an unabashed Marxist, his use of the term “nuance” is somewhat disengenous.

He is supposed to be a science reporter yet he hasn’t reported on ONE aspect of the opposition to AGW, he didn’t even mention the work of Dr Roy Spencer and his research with the Aqua satellite and the finding of no positive feedback signal for CO2.
