If anyone is interested, Skepticon is online this year. Details and booking at:

www.skepticon.org.au

(I was a bit slow deciding on this, we’ve missed the early bird registration. But it isn’t particularly expensive anyway, and there is a concession price for those of you who have cards)

I see Michael Marshall is speaking this year. I saw him a few years ago at a Skeptics Conference. He is a very interesting young man.

Only religious skeptics?
Or climate change skeptics as well?
(Covid-19 skeptics?)

Some true climate change sceptics would be good.

I don’t recall ever reading or hearing anything from anyone with an appropriate level of scepticism on climate change action, and how we can best manage the high level of uncertainty about what the climate might do in the foreseeable future.
