By Julian Cribb, published 27/11/2012

We are now looking down the barrel at climate-induced economic shocks that will make the GFC look like a hiccup.

Curmudgeon:"thanks for the feedback"

You're very welcome, god knows you need it.

Ok, so the pause was more like 7 or so years, but the trend has up wards of about 6.4ppb/year since 2007, compared to 6.8ppb in the five yeasrr preceeding 2000 (1994-1999), which is pretty similar don't you think?
Have a look your self:

(Select methane)
A bit longer than a couple of years, so what happened? Did all the European gas pipeline break down five years ago? I didn't hear about that.

Time to get a new story, you've been trotting out that one for years now...

Please don't worry Cheryl, we are not all fools, its the select few who are the noisy denialists while the vast majority, the 'we all', accept the reality of climate change.

Hmmm. Very interesting Candide.

It would seem that your - "the vast majority, the 'we all'" - are quickly becoming the vast minority, the 'who, not us bro'.

You fail to mention the part that the science and economics illiterate Greens and their disciples are playing in bringing on the famines.

Whereas the provision of low-cost electricity would assist food production, thanks to the Greens preaching the AGW dogma, electricity provision has become much more costly due to enforced measures, e.g. taxing of anthropogenic emissions, to subsidise the supply of more unreliable and uneconomic renewable energy. Even more ironic is the diversion of certain crop harvests from food to renewable fuels production.

As a result of bowing to the Greens' demands for environmental flows , the Government's enacted Murray-Darling Plan will result in lower irrigation water allocation and consequently lower food production. Ironically, the Plan completely overlooked the restoration of natural environmental flows at the Murray mouth, where once the last 70 or so kilometres of the river were subject to tidal flows, until barrages were installed right at the river mouth so as to turn the water in Lake Alexandrina from salt to fresh. Thus, many gigalitres of MD water are lost to evaporation. Furthermore, the environmentalists forget that, prior to the building of storage dams on rivers in the MD basin, natural flow in those rivers was reduced to a trickle for at least 10 months of the year.

And there's more! The declaration of vast areas of marine parks, will ensure that Australia's former fishing grounds will become the most under-utilised -- and the sharks will become the best-fed -- in the world.
