Ian Fry, a part time ANU student from Queanbeyan attended the Copenhagen hot air fest to perform as a Tuvaluan, uttering such lines as “I woke up this morning crying, and that’s not easy for a grown man to admit ... The fate of my country rests in your hands.”

His country?

He has never so much as visited Tuvalu, but he wept for the gratification of the warmist audience at Copenhagen, and they loved it.

Nils Axel Morner, who has devoted his life to developing his expertise in sea levels, visited Tuvalu, and was able to show that there has been no change in the sea level, apart from a small lowering of the level, over the last eighty years.

He also found a photo of a tree taken 50 years ago. The tree was still there, and he demonstrated by this evidence, that there was no change in sea level.

The greenies have fixed the problem, by ripping the tree out. Global warmists are very devoted to their cause, as they demonstrate by their efforts. No vandalism is too great a challenge.

Al Gore, who won a Nobel Prize for lying, announced that thousands of climate change refugees had migrated from Tuvalu to New Zealand. People who had migrated from Tuvalu had no idea that their migration to NZ was for any reason other than economic, and Gore was unable to convince them otherwise.

Thank you Cliff for a most enlightening article, giving guidance in the confusing world of the AGW myth.

Maybe in geological time occasionally these places get swamped; if one happens during our brief reign I daresay our best response would be to take a few million Polynesians in.

Much easier than cap-and-tax driven pseudo ocean level 'management' that our eco-mullahs hope to foist on us.

Interesting to see that this book was published in the early 1990's.

I was at one of the AGW functions a few weeks ago where they were all lamenting how they could "Re Sell" their arguments/achievements.

One of these whack jobs even tried to tell me that the chemical composition of gum leaves was being changed by the extra co2 & Koala mortality was rising.

Almost all of the Radical, Extreme, Loony Left, whether they are in Politics, Bureaucrookracy, Academia or Journalism seem to be stuck in telling Deliberate, Premeditated, Lies almost all of the time & wondering why we don't believe them.

Unfortunately no amount of evidence will change the mind of the alarmist (many of which are making a quid) out of their faith. Ms Gillard would rather send electricity prices rocketing using the Green myth as justification. The moment we allowed the twisted observation of evolution to be taught at fact we allowed all sorts of other myths to pass as science.

Leo Lane, your rhetorical spin precedes you. Anyone else would 'fact check' before they embark on vilification of someone they don't even know.

I don't know why you lot are so much against climate change. Or is it carbon tax what you are worried about. Industry needs a good clean up, and so do households. Power hungry houses need ripping down, it is not necessary.
Instead of calling it a lot of bull, give us some reasons for status quo.
