I would hazard to guess that he really sincerely believes everything he posts on this.

However, I wouldn't mind betting many opinion leaders of climate change denial (I don't know - Tony Abbott and Andrew Bolt for starters) probably don't believe what they say but believe some greater interest is served by egging the Tony B's on.

One side believes that nature is fragile and economies are resilient so its safer to mess around with the latter. The other side seems to believe the exact opposite. There must be a whole lot more to it as well but I think that's a good starting to point for understanding both the sincere climate change denialists and those who think climate change is happening but we can't risk economic disaster by doing anything about it.
