Bolt vs Science

We all know Andrew Bolt is no fan of science - especially global warming science. For some time now he's been using his column in the Herald Sun to try and convince the public that all of those climatologists don't really know what they're talking about. If you ask him, it's all junk science and paranoia from a bunch of green evangelicals.

Tim Lambert recently graded Bolt's knowledge of global warming science and
the results were not impressive. Despite a strong consensus among climatologists that global warming/climate change is being accelerated by human activity. Bolt (and others like him) continues to misrepresent the work of climate scientists and seize on disagreements in the scientific community over the specifics of climate change as evidence against it. An unusually chilly day in summer is all Bolt needs to shoot down decades of research conducted by climate experts.

So what I want to know is this:

When will Andrew Bolt come out guns blazing against the science of evolution?

Think about it - the circumstances are much the same: There's a strong consensus among scientists that evolution is real, and there's a small group of people who claim to have strong evidence against it (the Intelligent Design movement).

Can we expect a Muehlenberg-esque column from Bolt any time soon?
