And of course being a member of the Family First Party qualifies Rod McGarvie to attempt to discredit the findings of scientists who have spent their professional lives studying climate. I assume Rod has similarly spent years studying the effects of CO2 in our atmosphere, has studied all the important papers written on climate change and has visited the world's climate hotspots such as the Antarctic, the Arctic, Greenland and the Pacific Islands. Otherwise he would know that he is completely unqualified to comment... When I get sick, I visit a doctor. When I need assistance with my tax I go to an accountant. When I want help with the law I see a lawyer. When I want to understand the environment, I visit a politician?

How did Rod Mcgarvie get to this parallel world, where there is no climate change and everything in the garden is lovely?
It sounds a delightful place, somewhere that you can change facts to fit your dreams.
Now back in the real world us poor mortals have to contend with the actual fact of the artic ice diminishing, the ice chap on Greenland diminishing and a few other quite common occurrences in a "static" climate.

i have met Rod McGarvie & he is a decent, honest man. if the Liberal party wasn't being moved towards closet communism by Malcolm Polly Waffle Rudd then he might still be an LNP member. But in this case Rod i think we need a wider inquiry into ANTI-socialism. Which could include committees of both upper & lower houses into UN-Australian activities & a matching Royal Commission. Science is just one example of communist infiltration white anting the land of OZ.

Chris S, surely you jest. The lowest form of life on earth is a left wing academic or "scientist". The Poles are NOT melting, the oceans are not rising, the "scientists" lied for research grants.

imacentristmoderate; keep taking the pills and all will be well.

Yes, as much as I am not really interested in the subject of climate change, it always amuses me that non-scientists can come out and say all the scientists are wrong about climate change because (a) God is the only person who can change the climate, or (b) because they say so - no evidence needed!

Sorry, but those reasons are rubbish because there is no evidence there are any gods, and no evidence any of you have any idea what you are talking about.
Who to believe...scientists, or those who imagine there are invisible people in the sky who telepathically tell them what to believe?

Robert LePage, I think he needs to up his dose.

Family first eh...what's next creation science to be taught?
Rod you need to buy yourself a calendar and read the date it's 2015 not 1315.
