Perfect example of how brainwashed people can be. She's never stopped for one moment to consider she could be wrong, nor has she read any of the opposing views.

All the emotive catchphrases too. "Denialist" , "children and grandchildren","vested interests" etc etc.

Oh and LOL "Create prisons (for asylum-seekers) on islands and Pacific nations impacted by climate change and threatened with inundation, through rising sea levels"

In summary, a representative of an extremist minority trying to impose its view on the majority.

Remember the film: Bend it like Beckham?

Heck if you're reeeally good, try bending it like Lyn Bender!

No Lyn, no one denies climate change.The wiser heads just question 1)That there ever was a Goldilocks like equilibrium and/or ever can be, and 2) That the minute percentage of atmospheric Anthropogenic CO2 is responsible for everything from Tuvalu sinking to, QUOTE: "the ice caps melting".

I was watching a doco on SBS last night about volcanoes. Among the revelations was one that,a single volcano in Africa pumps out more sulfur dioxide than all the factories in Europe combined.

And --before one of the regular AGW spruikers jump in with their rote learned responses--yes, I know SO2 is not CO2 but it does tend to give some perspective, to make you wonder that there might be more things in heaven and earth impacting of climate than the lesser Horatio's at the IPCC are wont to own up to.


On the theme of 50 ways of doing things, have a look at Lyns list of "articles":
1) About 3 or 4 spruiking illegal immigration-translation: Open your borders Oz let every Tom Dick or Ali in.
2) Another 3 or 4 on supporting the underdeveloped world-translation:Oz how about transferring your industry/technology offshore
3) And the rest on AGW-translation:Oz just foot the bill each time someone foolhardy enough to clear the mangroves and settle on a delta gets flooded out.

Not yet 50! but closing fast.

Soon we'll have a full 50 ways of how to outsource your bleedin heart angst while getting everyone else to foot the bill.

Sadly, Lyn this is not a particularly good article.

There are indeed multiple ways that those who wish to deny the link between carbon dioxide emissions and increasing global temperatures choose to do so. And lots of them have to do with the creation and promotion of pseudoscience (e.g. eyeballing climate data rather than doing proper analyses) that we see so often on this site.

However, including other axes you have to grind (asylum seekers and proposals to wind back environmental regulations) is unlikely to convince those who think climate change is all an environmentalist plot and will likely alienate those who are unsure on this topic.

I am amused by all the references to "experts". Was 22 referring to Tim Flannery the mammologist? Is the head of the IPCC, a railway engineer, an "expert"?

Number 4 is also a cracker. The two gentlemen referred to were Labor appointments. (The Libs are now looking into these appointments).

Every one of these stupid points is quite easily repudiated. (I may do so later if time allows.)

This sad, sorry and very stupid article and marks a new low for OLO.

Lyn should have her articles of faith canonised. She has forgotten to write penalties for heretics. What a joke.

Don’t worry about them Lyn, deniers are all corrupted……Ive seen sharper golfballs....While losing ice is a natural part of a glacier’s lifecycle, many glaciers are now sloughing off faster than they are accumulating new snowmass. In other words, they’re shrinking. This shrinking is largely attributed to climate change. Not surprisingly, rising temperatures cause glaciers to melt at faster rates. Unless snow accumulation increases at a similar rate, the glacier cannot sustain itself. Scientists have reported temperature increases above the global average at higher altitudes, where glaciers are often found. The future is not looking bright for Himalayan glaciers.
