So Max, the views expressed here are pretty profoundly against you and the Australian Environment Foundation.

Are you going to come back and defend yourself? Or are you going to let this opinion prevail unchallenged?

As the director of AEF you must surely feel obligated to defend your views and your organisation.

I for one would love to think that the AEF is a genuine environmental organisation.

Please, convince us that it is.

I'm glad to see everyone found this as agravating as I did.
I've had three attempts at this but keep hitting my 350 word limit.

Max,
The anomalous peak in 1998 has been readily explained ad infinitum.
I like how you jumped on the 1998 to 2007 comparrison and completely ignore the 2000 to 2007 comparison (oh look, a rise!).
Two can play at that game.
Around 1860 there was a low spike and the Global temperature was 13.5 degrees celcius. Therefore, the globe has warmed more than we first thought and AGW is much worse than we think.

How far do we take misreading of statistics? The Globe warmed a massive 0.25 degrees from late 2005 until 2007. Do we look at that 18 months and each buy refrigerator suits?
