Hasbeen, if you're referring to Scotty from Marketing, I disagree. His bland assurances have often been of negative value.

First comment on OLO having read articles for a month or so. Good Article from the author who at least has the "globes" to speak his mind despite the weak words of his coalition mates. Net zero is a true scam and with China and India and Russian treating it with such disrespect, I am bemused how the ABC, Turncoat and lefties are so suckered into it. The fact that even Obama has to be brought out of retirement to speak at COP26 just shows how desperate the IPPC luvies are to promote it.

As for the trail of comments... where do these guys come from. I rarely read comments, bought thought I should before writing one. What childish schoolboy/girl drivel. They even seem to go off tangent from the topic with no logic.. Weirdos.

Dear Hasbeen,

I would agree that Canavan is a dill and a conman but I would never call him naive. That is for folks who regard him as some kind of working class hero.

Absolutely nothing in recent politics rises to the description of conman than smearing coal dust on your face and wearing high viz to intimate a blue collar background.

An Arts degree holding, public servant come political hack trying to pass himself off as something he most definitely isn't and you are there patting his back? How does that work?

Infinite growth. Finite planet. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh Wow, Aiden. You managed to write 388 words on a topic instead of just doing your usual hit and runs. Did you visit a woke detox centre?

If you are one of the people who are swayed by evidence, then where is the evidence that human induced CO2 has any effect upon climate at all? There isn't any. It is just an act of faith. It is just like declaring that "Jesus Christ is the son of God" and then basing an entire religion on it, and expecting everybody to just BELIEVE.

For many years I accepted that those scientists who advocated HIGW were probably right. After all, it was plausible, and scientists are supposed to be seekers of the truth. But since I am an avid reader of history, I was aware that climate had always changed, and that had always had a serious effect on human history, which the alarmist side was not even mentioning. Worse, when the woke mob jumped on board I knew something was wrong, as these ideological idiots always get everything wrong.

I read Ian Plimer's book and began looking at video's on Youtube which represented both sides of the debate. Several years ago, there was hardly any Youtube video's telling the Denier side of the story. It was all Alarmist and most of it could have been written by priests preaching religion. The presentation of the Alarmist side video's were usually supercilious and condescending, and they presented "facts" which they presumed that their audience was too dumb to check. The best part about knowing both sides of an argument is that the side who is hiding something, but who thinks they have their audience blindsided, usually get careless and make stupid mistakes. Like Manne's "Hockey Stick Graph" or Al Gore's stupid graph.

The growing number of Denialist sites has grown exponentially and from my perspective have a much better argument. They dissect the half truths of the Alarmists and reveal that they are complete lies. And they back up their claims with evidence and reasoned arguments which to me make perfect sense

Physics.
I'll give a more detailed explanation later, possibly Friday.
