Agro, read my link, you'll find all the attribution you need; heavens, an ABC devotee like you will know about Gore's sensational performance on Auntie the other night where he not only blamed the bushfires on AGW but everything else as well including I'm sure your persistent disingenuous comments here.

Are you Adam Bandt?

"Are you Adam Bandt?"

Adam gets around a bit...it seems?

Is that the new "skeptic" line?

What are you trying to say Agronomist? That there is a connection but it is not causal? If not, what sort of a connection is it? I'd put the shovel away if I were you, you're just digging yourself in deeper. You tried a nasty shot on Marohasy and it's ricocheted. Much better to acknowledge those things than to deny them. It does your credibility a lot more good when you do admit to your own mistakes.

Ludwig: But there is indeed a whole lot of data that points strongly in that direction.

Unless a significant causal link between anthropogenic CO2 emissions and global warming is substantiated , there is no scientific or economic justification for governments to impose a carbon tax or ETS, or direct action for that matter.

Beware the Maunder Minimum,

We might all have to rethink our climate change strategies with this from the BBC.

“A leading British climate scientist claims the current rate of decline in solar activity is such that there is now a real risk of a ‘Little Ice Age’. The severe cold went hand in hand with an exceptionally inactive sun, and was called the Maunder solar minimum. Now a leading scientist from Reading University has told me that the current rate of decline in solar activity is such that there’s a real risk of seeing a return of such conditions. Following analysis of the data, Professor Lockwood believes solar activity is now falling more rapidly than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Based on his findings he’s raised the risk of a new Maunder minimum from less than 10% just a few years ago to 25-30%. --Paul Hudson, BBC Weather, 28 October 2013”

Ooops!

Spindoc, how did the BBC censors slip up on reporting such an item? It would never happen on the ABC -- yours, not mine.
