What load of extremest and delusional clap trap from a tree hugging arty farty.

What sort of educational system is it that has produces whackos of this type--- and they seem to be in abundance.

If she was even moderately numerate she would be able to work it out that even if we met all our targets at the highest range we would only make 0.00043 C pa difference to the global temperature.

The cost of doing that is that we would have to virtually bankrupt our economy and put thousands out of work. It just has to have the worst cost benefit ratio ever

So many strange responses and so little time...

Sorry! I would love to respond, but am too busy to keep up with everything.

Sadder than the 'twenty lost years' is the fascistic and politically incorrect way that the global climate has obstinately refused to warm up since 1998, thereby radically diminishing the 'evidence' for global warming and making AGW hysterics look like silly panicking children. Obviously this is due to a plot by the military-industrial complex and must be dealt with drastically, by nuclear-bombing volcanoes if necessary. But we cannot just stand idly by while the earth refuses to warm!

A complete waste of time reading this article.

As soon as I read that the Hyatt is a "cosy 100 metres from Parliament House" I knew that the article would be very casual with facts.
There is still much debate about the various theories of what causes change in the climate but there is very little debate about measuring distance.
I measured the 980 metres from the flagpole of Parliament House to the Hyatt by both Google Earth and on the relevant 1:25,000 topo map.
Surely if you are trying to save the world at least you could not exaggerate.
What other facts did you stretch or compress to suit your argument.
And from a Canberra resident! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I am so pleased that Senator Fielding has gone to the US to listen to some real science. The most frightening part about this article is that people like Anne might have a say in further indoctrinating our kids with this rubbish.
