Dear Ozandy,
Religious foke tend to follow their fathers example of intolerence to others point of view. It does not matter what their point of focus {belief} is, whether it is the church, even a particular verse in the bible, evolution or ciimate change believers, they are all off the mark and always put forward the countfeit point of view as the truth. Their way always leads to division and death. Religious wars eg. WW2 Ireland, Cosavo, Packastan, USSR and Afganastan to name a few in the last century. That is why we need Jesus for only in him can the truth be found. Only in him do we truely put aside our diferences and obey his command to love one another and serve our fellow man. As we have rejected him we are getting more gulible and believe anything.

Someone is not slavishly following your god-like intelligence and so you have to leave OLO. Don't be such a mincer, as Julia Gillard would say!
I have always loved fishing and noticed changes every ten years or so. Species go up and others go down it is just nature. The Northern Species have been in retreat for fifteen thousand years, that is since the last Ice Age.
I remember an Australian fisherman saying how he caught fifteen tonnes of mullet in a small estuary and the next year nuthin! Never occurred to him he had caught so many it would take years to rebuild the numbers.
Global warming is the excuse for so many scientists to hold out there hand for our money! My prediction is that in ten years they will be telling us we are all going to starve just as they did in the 1970's.
Of course I can make any prediction about anything as long as the time line means I will be dead before then lol. Just like the greedy grasping scientists!

Curmudgeon,
There has been several papers this year show exta ordinary warming of the poles specifically the sth pole read http://www.realclimate.org/
Specifically the conversations between the climatologists about feb to march. They discuss the uneven warming,the polar melting and AWG in details. This site is largely for climatologists.

I suspect that at one time he was an honest person who tried to live an upright life. I think the power to sit in judgment upon others as a judge is ultimately corrupting. A judge can get to feel above the common herd. A possible remedy is to have judges sit for only short terms. The knowledge that a judge will in a short be dealing with lawyers appearing before him as one of their colleagues may have a restraining effect. Judges have been given long terms with the expectation that they will be insulated from politics. I think the result in many cases is that they may get corrupted due to their isolation and lack of accountability.

Oops.

Just to help CJ out with a fact. The greatest algal bloom in the Darling, since settlement occured in 1901, when most of the ricer turned toxic.

Millions of animals, wild & stock, died from drinking the water, as did many hundreds of humans. Those blooms since then have been minor events, compared to that one.

Of course, you would tell us it was because of the thousands of 4WDs driving up & down the river.

With the amount of evidence now available, only the stupid, the extremely lazy, or those with some axe to grind, can possible believe in AGW.

Which is it CJ? You don't sound like an axeman to me.
