such venal behaviour as that?

Those who are interested in such things have watched the evidence for
global warming slowly mount up over the years. But, judging by the
amount of media attention over the last few weeks (in Victoria, at
least), you'd think the ice caps had suddenly started melting and
we'd all be under water by Christmas.
A few months ago there was only the occasional mention in the papers.
Now there are pages of it. I'm not saying it's unjustified or a bad
thing, just questioning why the sudden panic. Sceptics might wonder
if a certain prime minister is encouraging it as a diversion from
Iraq and IR laws.
