How's your copperplate?

Brown was finished the moment he greeted people as 'fellow Earthians'.

He'd just gone nuts and he'd have been ridiculed forever after. If not by the Brown-friendly mainstream then in the internet and twitter. Could you imagine what Bolt would have done to him?
The Greens would have suffered greater harm and a far faster decline, than the one which awaits them, with him. The Greens Politicians would have known that.

They dumped him.

Thanks for the update, Pericles. The Copperplate is merely virtual these days, sadly, having been digitalised like everything else :)

In the 40s there were droughts in the mallee. In the 50s it was beautiful except when the farmers lost their topsoil because it rained too much; In the 70s I swam in Lake Eyre; I missed some of the next 20 years as I was overseas but in 2003 till recently it was dry again. Then Lake Eyre filled and many were flooded in QLD and NSW. If we save the high rainfalls and use water judiciously in the dry times life isn't too bad. Carbon dioxide is useful in its place. But taxes won't change the climate

I think they change the climate around here katydid.

They make me so hot under the collar, that the general temperature must increase.
