I suggest people actually read the original piece
Look, I'm all for sticking it to clueless politicians, and the original column doesn't commit to any policy of substance, but nevertheless I think the "companion news article" is interpreting it... very creatively.
The original column:
https://www.pressreader.com/au... (pressreader is paywalled but allows a certain number of free uses per time period)I'm annoyed with the current climate of politicians just ignoring the facts and choosing to believe whatever they want, and I'm annoyed by the proliferation of clickbaity sponsored link sidebars in the genre of the fake-espn-fake-death-announcement stuff, but I'm also annoyed by how the news business doesn't seem to be able to hire writers who understand technology and can help the audience understand, rather than just making hay by subtly misleading people about it (often just due to not understanding it themselves).

Oh look, they deleted the page. Good thing I saved a quote:Because climate change in the Arctic region is occurring faster and to a greater extent than anywhere else, the Arctic Ocean may be ice-free for a short period of time as early as the summer of 2015, according to the 2009 Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment Report completed by the eight Arctic Council Nations.
