What is a joy to see is Juliar swinging in the wind like a Pinnata.

Another few months of this and I can see Greg Combet as PM.

Rudd, Juliar, Combet .. yep, a parade of clowns, all we need to do is issue the long floppy shoes and red noses and our government would be complete.

You'd think the comedians would be having a festival with the antics of this mob, must be killing them not being able to laugh at their own ..

The author is enlightening in his analysis.

Sadly, it is taking a long time for voters to wake up to the fact that the AGW promotion by the ABC, SBS, Fairfax Press and politicians, is propaganda.

Even now, Wayne Swan is trying to con people by claiming that the carbon tax would not impact them as it would be levied only on the big polluters. Instead, if he were to exercise his duty of care, he would need to point out that the carbon tax is an indirect tax that would affect adversely every industry in Australia, except the inefficient, unreliable, high-cost renewable energy industry which would be assisted effectively by being subsidised by the efficient, reliable, low-cost, coal-fired power generators.

If the Government were to exercise its duty of care, it would need to explain that implementation of the carbon tax would be a pointless exercise, as it would impose substantial cost on Australia, but not achieve any reduction in average global temperature.

A question to all those climate alarmists.

Define Climate.

Any reasonable definition makes your alarmism stupid.

I'm sorry to say this Leo but "the science has been settled" in that every reputable scientist has had their reputation harmed by;

1. Climate gate - how do you determine who to believe now
2. Skepticism - How dare the scientics question the politicians

Don't worry about global warming or cooling we have a bigger problem global misrepresentation.

This is a sad time in the Earth's history.
I predict a new dark age.. starting now

Massey, no reputable scientist has had their reputation harmed by Climategate.

It has harmed the reputation of the Climategate miscreants, but if they were reputable , they did not deserve to be.

It has enhanced the reputation of many scientists who have pointed out that the AGW assertion is, at best, questionable, starting with the 32,000 scientists who signed a petition to Congress for delay of any action on AGW until a scientific basis had been established.

The only settled science at the moment is that natural cycles govern climate and there is no detectable effect on climate from human activity.
