Yeah, and the flak that intelligent designer twits get indicates they're right. And the flak that the Jews gave the nazis indicated the nazis were onto something. Carter is a complete moron.

I don't have a Ph'd only basic high school science.

So if memory serves me correctly Dickie, arsenic, lead, mercury and possibly chromium VI are basic elements. Not compounds.

You can not produce CO2 by burning CO (Carbon Monoxide), Carbon Monoxide is produced by combustion.

You can burn lead and mercury all you want and still not produce CO2 from them. However the fumes are rather toxic.

Mercury was once used in the manufacturing of hats, and the milliners absorbed the mercury through the skin and breathing the fumes. Hence the phrase as mad as a hatter.

PCB's like lots of man made compounds were once thought to be safe.

However once the compounds that you mention are burnt they not only produce CO2 but H2O, C, Hydrogen compounds and other basic elements which make up their construction. Sometimes these compounds reform to constuct toxic gases. Hence the acid rain.

AS I suspected all along the pseudo science of evolution coming into play where 'experts' make up facts about what happened millions of years ago. They say it with such authority and with no evidence. The only problem is that many scientist can not even agree on the age of the earth. The theory changes depending upon what they are trying to convince people of. The whole global warming issue is a complete joke. Bob Carter is one of the few who would want some decent proof before believing the GW High Priests and their own self deception. If any their was any doubt about the swindle you only had to listen to the panel last night.

It's appalling that the fear-mongering left don't even want to hear the other side of the argument they are so smug, yet insecure...

It took much wrangling to get them to even show it, and only then because it was heavily edited (where are the civil libetarians?).

What was the point of the government putting some normal people on the board if they have no power?

And then, to really ensure they get their way, they have an hour long 'Attack!' session right after the show, what lunacy!

Has this ever before happened on TV, let alone a government funded one?

It's utter madness.

Perhaps this is why the far left are in bed with murderous Muslims, as both have the same regard to opposing viewpoints.

Shame on the ABC, but shame on taxpayers for putting up with such drivel.

Look at Mediawatch for crying out loud! It is the media wing of the far left, it is totally beyond the pale. Monica Attard is fixated on the right.

Who knows whether environmental degradation comes about because of our acts - but to silence someone for saying something the leftist herd don't like is wrong.

Fear-mongering, talk about fear-politics! The world is going to be flooded within five years!

Yet such leftists aren't pressuring China, India and Brazil, the worst polluters apart from the US - to even be a part of this save the planet movement!

Cowards!

It appears your comprehension of the written word is not proficient.

No-where in my post did I refer to heavy metals as compounds.
Nor did I say that heavy metals convert to CO2.

Nor did I say that CO converts to CO2.

Nor did I refer to chemicals that are responsible for acid rain.
Those chemicals happen to be SO2 and NOx.

What I did say was "The MAJORITY of these chemicals, once burnt, convert to CO2."

Volatile organic compounds (VOC's) all contain carbon. They form atmospheric photochemical reactions, though carbon monoxide is not a VOC.

You are correct when you state: "PCB's like lots of man-made compounds were once thought to be safe." The scientists who force-fed humans and all other life-forms, these heinous chemicals, have a lot to answer for.

Organochlorines are biocumulative, transboundary in nature, proven or probable carcinogens, mutagens and/or teratogens and are virtually indestructible.

That is all the more reason why Mr Carter should cease his deception and adopt the Precautionary Principle since man-made organochlorines and hydrocarbon emissions have now seriously polluted all earth's eco systems and have contaminated our entire food chain.

Martin Durkin did not come out of last nights showing of The Great Global Warming Swindle very well. He was not able to answer Alan Jone's questions in a convincing way. Mr. Durkin's problem being that he did not include more recent scientific research, much of which went against his thesis of sun spot activity having an impact on Climate Change. The program smacked more on a conspiracy theory put together by a journalist, rather than having any scientific rigor.
The Panel discussion after the film, comprehensively debunked Mr.Carter and his skeptic colleagues.

The important issue is that any hyphothesis put forward must have the ability to be replicated in other scientific studies.
