That's right VKU3AAU, don't engage with us sceptics, because you know we are winning the argument. Better to just stay within your alarmist bubble where your lot can reinforce your incorrect notions about global warming, and keep clear of having to confront opposing views, to which you are unable to reply to.

Mr O lives in a academic world called "Environmental sociology" where he studies scientists at play. Who pays for an environmental sociology report? Does ebay sell them? And we thought the ABC was trapped in the Canberra bubble!

Rememeber science is not a consensus arena, but today it has become an arena to make a very comfortable living. Real climate scientists who actually measure, analyse and study the real world know that if you want grant money, you go AGW,... and boy what a rich, 5-star gravy train they have created. Real science don't aspire to 5-star travel, they are happy to travel cattle class with the rest of humanity.

When it comes down to it, this AGW gravy train is not about science. Its about money, power and politics.

Doomsday warnings from the AGW storm troopers keep the population (particularly children) in fear.
Global industry loves the high profits from overpriced, subsidized renewables.
Politicians love taxes, and carbon taxation is the most lucrative tax of all, better than income tax, its a tax on living and breathing (a gold plated tax).

This morning's ABC breakfast crews declare there is disaster everywhere in Australia, namely: Drought, Fire, Flooding and even warnings that we might face locust swarms like East Africa!!

What next an invasion from Darwin led by giant, mutated crocadiles?

Dear Alison Jane,

The fossil fuel lobby pump literally hundreds of millions of dollars around the globe into disinformation campaigns.

Here is Australia's version.

"Australia’s richest person, mining magnate Gina Rinehart, has been revealed as a key funder of the right wing think tank the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) — a major pusher of climate science denial. Rinehart’s company, Hancock Prospecting Proprietary Ltd (HPPL), donated $2.3 million to the IPA in 2016 and $2.2 million in 2017, according to disclosures made to the New South Wales Supreme Court."

That is the true gravy train. Stop drinking the cool-aid. The cult of denialism is manufactured by very wealthy people, time to open your eyes.

steel redux. Wow, so some donors give money to climate deniers that's just not cricket, eh what! So how much do the unions give to left wing think tanks… of course no one knows as they use bags of used notes in shopping bags for security reasons!!

The AGW gravy train is in fact a gravy cruise boat... Bigger, slower, and you can bury your snout into the 24hr buffet as many times as you like.

Billions are given in Grants (paid for by taxpayers) to fund AGW movement research, not just on the climate models, but to all the hangers-on who what to study impacts that have not occurred in every social, environmental, health, industry, natural resource, agriculture etc.....human activity. I bet even environmental sociologists can get grants on AGW.

How much in Grants is given to anyone who dares ask are these model predictions valid. Haven't heard of many.

AND THEN there are all the leftwing philanthropists out there. George Soris has given about $20bilion over the last few years, The Kennedy and Getty kids have their "Global Philanthropy Group". And who funds Extinction Rebellion?, imagine their phone bills for all those secret texts!

While they like to claim their causes are driven and funded from their foot soldiers, the lead activists always have money people behind them. The AGW is well funded by philanthropists, unions and the humble and "deplorable" tax payer funded Grant Schemes.

Alison Jane,

What is you background?

Mr.O. She certainly didn't study science.
