And there's skin cancer on the increase 2 common forms, and the less common melanoma, and another nasty rare one, that is becoming less rare in Australia.

Why did Noel raise the issue in the way he did?
He spoke of climate change and particularly warmimg as though they was undisputable facts.

He need not have taken that stance. He could have quite easily have been less definate and thereby much less controversial in covering the topic of Aust Skin Cancer... an area which he showed obvious mastery.

I am wondering whether there is any thing that climate change is not responsible for?

A Song of Attribution.
To the tune of They Call The Wind Maria by Lerner and Loewe.

Away out here
They have a name
For anything that’s strange
Or weird, or odd,
Or Acts of God,
And they call it climate change.
Destructive!
Disruptive!
And they call it climate change!

If it snowed today,
The hens won’t lay,
The cattle are deranged,
You’re getting stout,
Your back went out,
Put it down to climate change!
Neurosis!
Psychosis!
Put it down to climate change!

When I was young
We used to blame
Bad things on different causes,
But now we know
It’s climate change
Even when the damn thing pauses!
If it’s awful,
Or unlawful,
Then it must be climate change!

So don’t despair
If you can’t bear
The burdens that life brings you.
Jut put it down
To climate change
Any time the media rings you!
The solution
Is attribution!
Put it down to climate change!

The crowing of the rooster causes the sun to rise.

It is all of those free range 'organic' chooks that are the problem. If they were in sheds instead and let out just one hour later a day, sun cancer could be reduced by 8.4%.

State regulation of chooks' waking hours delivers State control of the sun. Tres 'Progressive'. Bingo!

If one child's life is saved it is all worth it.

Noel

Here are a couple of more questions I have.

Why has Australia experienced it's coolest start to summer ever this year?

Did you know Australia's cotton and rice farmers are upset that their crops failed to germinate this year because of the cold?

I have a theory.

The ocean currents have changed dramatically. The currents flowing from the warmer regions are slower and smaller than they used to be. The currents flowing from the cooler regions are faster and larger than they used to be.

This would create severe weather events, cause cooling or at least stable surface temperatures and at the same time increase the ice in the polar ice caps.

Current events support my claims.

Now you prove me wrong.

I'm the first of the current cooling alarmists. We need to increase our emissions of co2. Burn more coal, build and drive more energy inefficient cars, ban nuclear power, fly more jets, ban renewable energy and scrap solar and wind generators and encourage everyone to buy a cow.

oh and Tim Flannery's NSW seaside home will be further from the shore and will need huge insulation and double glazing to retain warmth or he could migrate north. He'll also need either a new career or time in jail.

And Noel rates of skin cancer will probably fall.
