He has lived life and seen too much of totalitarianism and fundamentalism, be it in politics, religion or science, and seeks evidence and not propaganda. As a scientist, his training has made him sceptical and critical of everything and he is intolerant of intolerance. His university life has been intertwined with a corporate and bush life. Any child who becomes apoplectic about the internet dropping out for an hour needs a reality check and should read about their contemporaries in other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePROFESSOR IAN PLIMER is Australia's best-known geologist and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, where he was Professor and Head of Earth Sciences (1991-2005).
