Abbott will soon look like a genius for refusing to drag Australia to yet another climate fiasco : Comments

By Tom Switzer, published 19/11/2014

Defensive, embarrassing, insular, cringeworthy – this is just a sampler of media comment on Abbott's performance at the G20.

Dear Hasbeen,

Being from the far right of politics you unfortunately have very little choice but to be pigeon-holed exactly where you are.

Politics has always driven the sentiment on AGW, the more conservative you are the more likely you are to reject the science around AGW. What is interesting is the turnaround in the US. Sure under Bush the rejection of the science of AGW grew but after Obama was elected the swing was reversed. According to PEW research “In 2009, 35% of Republicans, 53% of independents and 75% of Democrats said there was solid evidence of rising temperatures on earth. Today, half of Republicans (50%), 62% of independents and 88% of Democrats say this.”

You sir are so deeply cemented by your politics in your rejection of the science that to think you could ever change your mind no matter what evidence was placed before you is utterly fanciful. But you are not our leader, Tony Abbott is.

China, Europe and most of the other countries of the world are taking active and positive positions on the need for action on Climate Change. Our depressing, embarrassing, fool we have for a prime minister has become an absolute laughing stock and the shame of these years will take some repairing.

Robert le Page seems unaware that a delinquent PM can be dismissed. He should look up the case of Googh Whitless.
Daffy,Abbott will appear a comparative genius, outflanking the dunces pushing the climate fraud. The article does not say he is a genius.

Our competent climate scientist, Robert Carter, has a relevant observation:
“Exhibiting a pragmatic courage that is rare among Western leaders, Mr. Abbott refused to make an Australian contribution to the U.N. Green Climate Fund, as urged by Mr. Obama. At the same time, he pointed out that “coal is going to be, now and for the foreseeable future, a very important part of the world’s energy needs. It has to be, because if it’s not, we are never going to provide energy to the 1.3 billion who don’t have it.”
Donating $3 billion to the fund, as President Obama also announced, makes the matters worse, for most of the money will undoubtedly be spent subsidizing environmentally damaging and otherwise unattainably expensive sources of energy, such as wind power, in impoverished nations.
New scientific papers appear nearly every week that show that the claimed link between carbon-dioxide emissions and dangerous global warming is imaginary. Accordingly, the link between climate-change policy and energy policy is thereby invalidated, but this persistently escapes global-warming pundits.”

And Steele is back, his post demonstrating that he still steadfastly disregards science, and continues to be a fraud-backer.

Quite an hilarious thread.

Abbott is outflanked, outclassed and humiliated by his own crassness...and we have a battalion of the usual suspects on OLO telling us he's a genius!

Lol!

Next up you'll be telling me Christopher Pyne is up for the Nobel Prize for today initiating a petition to stop ABC cuts in South Australia...after he voted with his govt to cut funding to the ABC.

Dingbats, the lot of 'em....

Dear Leo Lane,

Rob Carter is not a competent climate scientist is he, in fact he is not even a climate scientist at all, and to put him forth as such is fraudulent. So why did you do it? What motivates you to do something so patently dishonest? I mean you may well be a quite upstanding citizen in all other aspects of your life but this issue has you willing to be so thoroughly deceptive in your conduct.

It truly has me at a loss.

Unfortunately, runner...you display the full spectrum of your ignorance on this subject by posting stuff like that.

And yet you'd ridicule climate scientists who've repeatedly stressed that global warming means an increased frequency of extreme and unusual weather events.

("Snow = no global warming" is about as technical as it gets with you - yes?)
