Leo Lane,

Thanks for providing all the whizz-bang titles for Bob carter....all of which appear to be organizations which actively promote climate change denial.

"Professor Bob Carter is an Emeritus Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs..."

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Institute_of_Public_Affairs

"The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a right-wing, corporate funded think tank based in Melbourne. It has close links to the Liberal Party of Australia..."

The IPA key policy positions include: advocacy for privatisation and deregulation; attacks on the positions of unions and non-government organisations; support of assimilationist indigenous policy (cf. the Bennelong Society) and refutation of the science involved with environmental issues such as climate change."

"He is currently Chief Science Advisor to the International Climate Science Coalition and an Emeritus Fellow of the Institute of Public Affairs."

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=International_Climate_Science_Coalition

"The International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) is a group of climate change skeptics which describes itself as "an association of scientists, economists, and energy and policy experts working to promote better public understanding of climate change science and policy...."

"The ICSC site highlights news on climate skeptics from all over the world. It also propagates skeptics' conspiracy theories on climate change."

Ho hum....

Leo, don't you know that anyone who has opinions that are not
compatible with the left is automatically a terrible, dreadful person
and if they belong to organisations with other similar persons their
opinions and all in that organisation are therefore of no value and
must be incorrect.
Any other conclusion is impossible.

Poirot is a lefty, so promotion of truthful science is reprehensible, in the view of her and her group.

Carter has done so much for exposition of the true science of climate change, that he is a constant target of the fraud-backers. They have no science to support them, so their attacks are personal, on anyone who successfully exposes honest science.
Poirot has no science to support her backing of the AGW fraud, so her input is baseless lies to support her ad-hominem efforts, against anyone who propagates the truth.

Leo,

I am always amused by the species of far left whinger that we see on OLO. Typically this species eschews the main stream news organisations who all provide information that is fact checked, with a broad spectrum of opinion.

Next the left whinger digs up from under a rock on the internet a blog that consists of polemics written by other far left whingers with no fact checking, no diversity of opinion and very seldom anyone qualified in the area they are writing about. These include the New Matilda, the Independent Australian, and now the CMD.

Next the left whinger will quote from one of the feebly written articles from these far left whinge blogs and expect everyone to accept this as the word of god.

It is these same left whingers that were telling us that Abbott was unelectable, that the boats could not be turned around, and that Juliar had done nothing wrong.

I would suggest that nearly all climate scientists are satisfied that the following statements are true.

1 The average global temperature is elevated by some 33 deg C due to the so called greenhouse effect.

2 The increase in the level of the following greenhouse gases CO2, methane, NO2 and CFCs in the atmosphere are due to human activity.

3 The average global temperature has increased over the last 150 years.

The majority (possible not 98%) of climate scientists would also attribute the increase in global average temperatures over the last 150 years as being a result of elevated levels of green house gases.
