Comments by "gerhard7" (@gerhard7323) on "'There is no global warming': Senator Malcolm Roberts" video.
This interview is akin to the parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant. 'The parable of the blind men and an elephant originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent, from where it has been widely diffused. It is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then describe the elephant based on their limited experience and their descriptions of the elephant are different from each other. In some versions, they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they come to blows. The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences which may be equally true.' Wiki 'The elephant' they're referring to has been around for millions of years, not just the last few hundred. One fella gets that here and the other one clearly doesn't.
