Background
Andrew Bolt is a high-profile conservative Australian columnist, commentator and broadcaster. Bolt is an opinion writer at the Rupert Murdoch-owned Herald Sun in Melbourne, with his columns often syndicated across the rest of the News Corporation Australia network of metropolitan tabloid newspapers online and in print.2โAndrew Bolt,โ Saxton speaker’s bureau. Archived May 24, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/TOzxp 3โABOUT US,โ Herald Sun. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/jfTcW
Bolt is also a prolific contributor to his own blog, hosted on News Corporation Australia websites, where he has posted hundreds of items on climate change and โwarmists.โ He is promoted by News Corporation Australia as โAustralia’s most-read political commentator.โ Bolt often promotes the work of climate science deniers.4โHerald Sun,โ News Corp Australia. Archived May 24, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/YKUZC
Bolt hosts The Bolt Report, originally aired as a weekly television panel show on free-to-air commercial station Network Ten where he often invites climate science contrarians as guests. The fourth season of The Bolt Report launched in March 2014 with episodes doubled in length to one hour. In 2016, the program moved to Sky News as a nightly primetime program.5โThe Bolt Report moves to Sky News,โ Herald Sun, March 21, 2016. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/9CoqG
Stance on Climate Change
Andrew Bolt rarely makes a definitive statement about his own position on climate change. According to a review of Bolt’s articles, he regularly sources stories from climate denialist blogs and promotes the work of climate science deniers and cherry-picks data to suggest climate scientists are wrong.
Bolt tends to pick single, localised events, such as floods and snowstorms, or temporary โrecoveriesโ of climate change indicators such as sea ice and sea level, to suggest climate scientist predictions are โdud.โ Bolt also regularly questions why Australian policies should reduce emissions when the country’s domestic contrbution is relatively small.
February 21, 2014
In an interview with ABC News’ One Plus One program, Andrew Bolt responded to a question on his position on climate change:
โI know that there is a debate about [humans causing the warming of the planet] – that’s all I am prepared to say. I’m not a scientist but when someone tells me that all the scientists agree, I say no they don’t. They all agree that there’s a tendency for human emissions to heat the planet, but whether that’s responsible for all the heating is an open question. But I must say that once it was confidently predicted that there was run away warming and now we have had a pause for 16 years. Now please explain that.โ6โOne Plus One: Andrew Bolt,โ ABC News, February 21, 2014. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.

Bolt spoke at an Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) event titled โThe Mass Delusion of Climate Changeโ in Melbourne, featuring climate change denier Vaclav Klaus.

Andrew Bolt came to the defense of Peter Ridd, who was fired from James Cook University for breaching his employment’s code of conduct. Ridd has consistently questioned established science suggesting the risks posed by climate change and other human activities to the Great Barrier Reef, while claiming he was silenced by JCU. According to a statement from Professor Iain Gordon, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Division of Tropical Environments and Societies at JCU:22Graham Readfearn. โClimate Science Deniers From Around Globe Rally Around Sacked Scientist Peter Ridd,โ DeSmog, May 21, 2018. 23โStatement by Professor Iain Gordon, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Division of Tropical Environments and Societies in response to Professor Ridd’s publication of matters relating to his termination and litigation,โ James Cook University, May 20, 2018.

On his website, where he has repeatedly published confidential legal documents about the proceedings, Ridd claimed โHis employment has been terminated because he dared to tell the truth.โ He also re-opened a GoFundme campaign to pay for legal bills estimated at $260,000 (his prior campaign raised nearly $100,000). As of late May, the campaign had already reached its $260,000 goal.26โPeter Ridd Legal Action Fund,โ GoFundMe. Archived May 24, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/hJSzu

Following Ridd’s firing, conservative websites and think tanks have come to his defense and urged readers to visit his crowdfunding page. Ridd and supporting groups have consistently reframed the case as being about academic freedom, free speech, and scientific integrity. The University’s statement itself counters these claims:28โStatement by Professor Iain Gordon, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Division of Tropical Environments and Societies in response to Professor Ridd’s publication of matters relating to his termination and litigation,โ James Cook University, May 20, 2018.

Australian climate change denier Ian Plimer was a guest on the Bolt Report. Plimer discussed the release of his new book to be launched on October 5 titled The Climate Change Delusion and the Great Electricity Ripoff. During his interview, Plimer asserts that climate models have been โdoctoredโ and promote a โfallacy based on fraud promoted by fools.โ30Andrew Bolt. โIAN PLIMER ON THE GREAT CLIMATE CON,โ The Daily Telegraph, October 4, 2017.
โTo think we can do something is the ultimate of narcissism,โ Plimer said. โAnd it’s all based on a failed fundamental: The fundamental is that it is the human emissions of carbon dioxide that drive global warming. That has never been shown. 99% of emissions are natural. โ
[โฆ] the 2nd thing is that we have to cur our emissions. Cut this plant food that we’re putting into the atmosphere. Now, to cut that, we build wind industrial complexes and solar complexes.

A study analyzing the coverage of climate science in Australian media found that Andrew Bolt accounted for almost half of all the words in articles written on climate science in the Rupert Murdoch-owned Herald Sun newspaper, the Melbourne-based tabloid and Australia’s biggest selling newspaper. The study said of Bolt:36โSceptical Climate Part 2: Climate Science in Australian Newspapersโ (PDF), Austrlian Center for Independent Journalism, October 2013.
โGiven his influence, a consideration of how Australian media covers climate science needs to include an analysis of the strategies used by Bolt to persuade his readers they should reject the findings of the vast majority of climate scientists. These strategies include personal abuse, cherry picking specific findings to refute the entire body of findings of climate scientists, portrayal of advocates of climate action as ideologically motivated with totalitarian tendencies and criticism of journalists who report on climate science. He presents himself as someone who is fighting a battle to reveal โtruthโ and โsecretsโ which โwarmistsโ want hidden to protect their vested interests. Once the โfactsโ are established a triumphal, mocking tone is adopted.โ37โSceptical Climate Part 2: Climate Science in Australian Newspapersโ (PDF), Austrlian Center for Independent Journalism, October 2013.
The study also found that about 97 percent of all the comment articles published in the Herald Sun newspaper either rejected or questioned the views of the vast majority of climate scientists that human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change.

The Australian Press Council uphheld a complaint made about one of Andrew Bolt’s columns, written in February that year.39Graham Readfearn. โAustralian Press Council Finds Against Climate Sceptic Columnists,โ DeSmog, December 21, 2012.
In the article, headlined โTime that climate alarmists fessed up,โ Bolt claimed that โthe planet hasn’t actually warmed for a decade – or even 15 years, according to new temperature data from Britain’s Met Office.โ40Andrew Bolt. โTime that climate alarmists fessed up,โ Herald Sun, January 31, 2012.

The APC found that Bolt had based his assertion partly on a story in the UK’s Daily Mail. The APC criticised Bolt for failing to mention in his column that the Met Office had responded to the Daily Mail article the same day it was written, saying its claim that their data showed global warming had stopped was โentirely misleading.โ The APC adjudication said:41โAdjudication No. 1558: Ellett and others/Herald Sun,โ Australian Press Council, December 13, 2012.
