The author says that fish stocks are worst ever. Crap! The fishing up in north QLD is the best it's been for ten years, thanks to the floods.

Poor countries need help! Yep, they sure do.

They need help to STOP BREEDING!

This mentality, even her at home, of " have your kids cause someone else will pay for them, is th main problem.

If you can't afford them, don't have them.

Two problems will be solved, less strain on welfare and a reduction in population.

Food shortage is a major problem as we are fighting a growing population and bio fuel production.

Tax, tax, tax.

When are people going to realize that the big polluters are only polluting to service the demands of the people.

As for wanting to raise taxes for climate change funds, good luck. Most other countries are fighting just to put food on the table. We would be no different if not for our mines.

Australia is the only one stupid enough to think we can save the planet and hope and pray that others follow.

They may do if we pay the bill.
As for a transaction tax, this should be a given, but not just to tackle climate change.

Best dig in, and put an extra nail in the roof

579, smartest idea yet. Lern to deal with it,.cause unless we want to go back to the stone age, we have little choice.

The skeptics were happy talking among themselves until some competition came along. The well ran dry.
If you do not believe NASA you have no hope, Their info is credible. You rather believe a heap of rerun emails, 3 days before a un meeting.
Where these emails supposed originated from, say there has been no intrusion. They did not even make the news, just the front page of utube.

Bonmot. Your responce to my 'admit to being a little simplistic'. - "yep"... Pithy and accurate. Liked that, verbosity can be as tiresome as overly prolix (Kim Beasly). Let the science decide. But surely a degree of scepticism (as opposed to 'denial) is a whorthwhile position?
Cheers.

"surely a degree of scepticism (as opposed to 'denial') is a whorthwhile position?"

Real scepticism (as opposed to fake scepticism) - I agree absolutely.
Sadly Prompete, real scepticism is sadly lacking here.

bonmot, the first 1000 emails were damning enough, but the fraud backers complained that they were taken out of context. The current 5000 emails give all the context anyone could want.

I presume that your truncated and unclear post replying to Ken is an attempt to sneak in some support for the Climategate miscreants.

Forbes has a nice article on the situation. This is an extract:

“As if the first round of e-mails purloined from the U.K.’s East Anglia University Climate Research Unit (CRU) network weren’t damning enough, the new batch of about 5,000 more obtained through an anonymous source identified as “FOIA” are truly stunning.

Many clearly confirm that top IPCC scientists consciously misrepresented and actively withheld important information…then attempted to prevent discovery.

Included are CRU’s Director of Research, Phil Jones, the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) climate’s analysis section head, Kevin Trenberth; and beleaguered Penn State University “hockey stick” originator, Michael Mann.

….the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is an organized conspiracy dedicated to tricking the world into believing that global warming is a crisis that requires a drastic response.”

You will not win any supporters for the AGW fraud, bonmot. You and your like are a dwindling and weak anomaly, now that people have access to the truth.
