Small island mentality : Comments

By Sophie Trevitt, published 29/11/2011

Our small island mentality, compassionless politics and aversion to change may lead us head first into runaway climate change and all the humanitarian, social and economic problems it poses.

579. I assume, and hope, that your comment was strictly tongue in cheek. Please say it was or I might burst into tears, for there would be no hope at all for the human species.

Don't worry eyejaw, I have been studying the posts of 579, & I have come to the conclusion that the poster is one of 2 people.

It's either,
1/- Penny Wong, the only person I can think of, stupid enough to make such ridiculous outrageous claims, & expect anyone to pay any attention, or,

1/- Tony Abbott, having a bit of fun, making ridiculous statements in the guise of a greenie, to discredit the green movement.

Even Prince Charles couldn't come out with this tripe, so I think it will prove to be Penny. Her extreme superiority complex would fool her into believing some people will fall for it.

The missing person Has-been. You do not believe it is time to get off fossil fuels, You are the one that is always screaming about peak oil. Well here is your big chance, But you would rather push us back to the stone age. Has-been and Arjay what a team. Leave it the people that know, instead of calling everything crap.

The only small mindenedness seems to be the dogmas taught at universities that has led to people believing the kind of nonsense that has been written here. What is sending us broke is the gw myth which continues to produce human hating policies and produce totally unproductive jobs at the tax payer expense. Sophia is to young or does not want to remember the hysterical pseudo science scares of the last 50 years including the coming ice age. Instead we have more food, we still drive cars (the oil was to run out by 2000), live longer, higher wages and the usual changes in climate that only the 'éxperts ' failed to predict. The alarmist are shameless as the abundance of water and snow dropped on this planet over the last 2 years fit none of their corrupted models. You would think they would crawl in a hole but instead pedal more pseudo dogmas.

Sophia speaks about large numbers of supporters re the carbon tax. Why does she ignore the fact that when Turnbull was leader of the Liberals was boss the party was on a hiding to nothing. Since Ms Gillards lie the Liberals have constintently walloped Labour in the polls. Who is she trying to fool?

Another Chicken little."The sky is falling the sky is falling." All the while another scandle of climate gate cover ups is revealed through more leaked emails from the IPCC.

Israel's potenial attack on Iran is more of a concern.Iran has threatened to retaliate with 150,000 missiles.I knew they had a lot but not that many.NATO and the Western Neo Cons need to pull their heads in and stop these imperialistic wars that have us all on the path to destruction.

Believe that, you will believe any-thing arjay, Iran has been spruking loud and clear for weeks. It makes you wonder who the aggressor is. I believe it to be Iran. If you had to take sides it would have to be toward Israel. Iran has got the mouth, and that's about all.
