By Mike Pope, published 7/1/2010

With breathtaking nonchalance government and opposition ignore the damage climate change could inflict on Australia.

I suppose all the economic modeling has failed so now Mike turns his hand to the science fiction models of climate change. Unfortunately this sort of propaganda is being fed to our kids. We know you hate Tony Abbott Mike along with thousands of other Howard haters but you really don't have to make up stories to discredit him, Stick to facts and not fantasy.

“Over the next 20-30 years, maybe sooner, Saibai and Boigu in the Torres Straits will almost certainly be the first of the permanently inhabited islands to be drowned by rising sea levels.”

Obviously, nobody will take notice of a retired economist (no climate qualifications) making a comment like that. He simply doesn’t know what will happen in 20-30 years. Only a climate scientist could make a statement like that; and he would have to prove it.

Pope’s rambling about Tony Abbott being “better known” (by whom and how many?) as the “Mad Monk”, and Nick Minchin being “even madder” further highlights his bitter ignorance and extinguishes any desire to read more of his rubbish.

Mike Pope should stick to something he knows.

Ah another day, another Don Quixote –
mounting his trusty steed of scientific buffoonery and tilting his lance at the AGW windmill.

The sooner the collectivist-infiltrated environmental movement wakes up to the fact that the world has seen through their latest doom-prediction, the sooner they will be on to a new campaign of shock-horror.

Better they get off their arses, get real jobs and work for a living,

instead of suckling off the grants and other government largesse (all funded by taxes), expropriated from the real wealth creating private sector, the better.

Mike Pope is misguided in still believing in man-made climate change. He should be made aware that the arch proponent of anthropogenic global warming, namely the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), based its case on falsified information. This is confirmed by the ClimateGate leaked emails exposing the fraudulent behaviour at the British University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit , which was a key contributor to the IPCC case. As realists have known all along, the IPCC does not have any irrefutable scientific evidence that increasing greenhouse gas emissions will cause global warming, droughts, rising sea levels, etc.

Finally someone willing to say the N word.

The reality is climate change or nukes.
