Climate change: our wilful blindness : Comments

By Lyn Bender, published 11/3/2013

But this summer is the hottest ever recorded. It is part of the predicted trajectory of global warming.

Oh god, listen to the girl will you. A few twopenny halfpenny towns in oz, getting a bit hot, when the wind blows out of the desert, & she goes off like a two bob watch. Well what else would you expect from a psychologist?

She probably has not heard, [not with her fingers in her ears anyway], that half the northern hemisphere is short of the shovels needed to dig themselves out of an extraordinary amount of snow.

Of course that snow no more disproves global warming, than a few hot Victorians proves it, but when even the IPCC boss is admitting no warming for 16 years, this sort of foolery from a psychologist, is a sure sign of desperation in the carbon tax lobby.

Thank you Hasbeen for just demonstrating that you have no interest at all in the facts of global warming although you seem to be full of hot air (are you perhaps a victim of global warming on an extremely personal level?) If you had bothered to inform yourself you would know that increased snow is one of the markers of global warming. Let me spell it out for you: more heat means more evaporation from the oceans means more moisture in the air means more precipitation, which generally falls as snow in the arctic and antarctic.

Candide,
Up here in the tropics we finally are getting some rain again, rain which has been absent since the early 80"s. People say it's getting worse. They haven't been here long enough to know that we're simply getting back to more normal weather because of the climate change we had over the last three decades. Maybe it was that Tax after all that's bringing back this rain ? Hmmh !

Candida,

If global warming leads to increased moisture, and more precipitation of snow at the poles, this would lead to sea levels dropping, and more rainfall which would indicate that global warning is a good idea.

About 500m years ago C02 was 2000ppm, and life was thriving. Temperatures, and sea levels were different but not significantly. While I personally, believe that global warming is occurring, there is significant evidence that it is not the apocalyse that it is being portrayed, and secondly that Australia going it alone does nothing for the environment or for the cause.

Referring to absent authority doesn't prove your case, it proves ours. Science means what the data are saying, not what the authorities and the media are saying. You obviously haven't understood the first thing about science.

Okay all you warmists, quit joking with your pretence that you've got nothing but appeal to absent authority, circular argument, and personal argument.

Got that proof of catastrophic global warming that policy can improve, after taking into account the downsides of both options, in units of a lowest common denominator, yet?

No? Didn't think so.

But thanks for proving your moral and intellectual bankruptcy with such spirit anyway.

Excellent article Lyn and good analogies with the Holocaust. Don't be put off by all these ignorant comments which merely reinforce what you are saying.
