Public service corruption at the CSIRO and BOM must be prosecuted and the missing 10 millions dollars returned, otherwise how else will the public have any trust in governments at a Local, State and Federal level considering these governments spent taxpayers cash on man made global warming, now exposed as a scam..

Wow!

Good stuff Ms Marohasy. Well written, very interesting, makes excellent points and poses some very good questions. No argument here from me.

I wait with anticipation to read other's comments.

It should only take one term to eliminate govt debt AND fund the NDIS, should Abbot and Hockey merely comb the govt books and eliminate any and all program eveny remotely dealing with matters 'climate change'.

Short memories is it not? Climate research was/is about a CO2 emissions trading scheme. I think Tony Abbott still plans to have an ETS, he will change the carbon tax to an ETS.
Oy os am,using to me how climate is subject of debate and then it changes to CO2.

If science is real science in the climate modelling and associated super computing, why is photosynthesis-linked warmth in ocean micro and macro algae plant matter apparently not included in that science?

Algae has warmth retaining capabilities. Ocean produces over 50 percent of world oxygen.
Ocean covering 72% of this planet's surface has the dominating influence on weather worldwide.
It seems possible there is more algae plant matter in the ocean than there is plant matter on land.

An unprecedented human population with unprecedented nutrient rich sewage dumped daily into rivers and ocean ecosystems worldwide is causing an apparent overload of nutrients proliferating historically unprecedented algae.

So what is the reaction to that worldwide sewage nutrient dumping action?
How about some academic response accordingly?

Error above. Sorry about that. Should read:
It is amusing to me how climate is subject of debate and then it changes to CO2.

On the face of it this is a national scandal; that it has happened under the watch of a demonstrably incompetent and atguably corrupt government is no coincidence.

It puts paid to the grotesque argument from authority on the basis of the unfettered integrity of climate scientists which is the main argument in favour of AGW.

Hopefully some of the usual apologists for AGW science and scientists will appear and tell us that Jennifer is wrong, and why.

International scandal, not just national.
Misappropriation of vast sums of money too.
Misleading Parliament as well.

Meanwhile there is a real crisis right on our very doorstep, antibiotic resistant TB at Torres Strait in fact. And while CO2 nonsense has soaked up money and time, government has withdrawn required funding for TB clinics that were already fighting the resistance in the Cape York - PNG area.

I totally agree that this climate thing is rubbish. This morning while I was gazing out over the edge of the flat earth, some fool tried to tell me the earth revolves around the sun. Can you beleive it! What next? Humans related to apes?
