Also seeing that he lives in Canada and they are the odd one out in proposals in keeping the temps below 2 degrees he is in bad company.

The differences between the U.S. and other countries could bear out Plimer’s suggestion that climate change is a local thing for locals to think about i.e. accept it as a natural change and do nothing, or follow the money and spend up big for nothing; don’t drag the entire globe into it.

Michael Lemonick (sounds a bit like ‘lemming’) still touts the unproven CO2/man-made theory, and says that the group to come with a new scary story have an ‘impeccable pedigree’, but gives no proof of this, and probably knows that most people will take his word for it and not bother to check.

“…significant changes are coming.” Significant changes have been threatened by the doom-sayers for millennia, and humans have survived, even prospered, in warmer times than now.

This bloke sees himself as having a “…mission is to communicate climate science to the public”, but he seems to be just preaching the same old bogey man stories.

The spell check on his name came up with ‘Demonic’.

Note that the German Chancellor has told Rudd during his world junket that her country will not be able to make any wild promises about emission reductions.

Peter, as we have just seen ... you can lead an ass to water, but you can't make it drink. Apologies to donkeys.

If the author wants to have any credibility he better point out that their are many places on the globe that have cooled in the last 30 years. Unfortunately that would not fit his wild conspiracy theories.

Leigh

No-one, conversant with the ramifications of climate change (already occurring in case you hadn’t noticed) is taking Plimer’s suggestions seriously – particularly since he’s been exposed, obfuscating climate data. History will not be kind to the duplicitous and pathetic Plimer or the parasitical mining corporations which support his rubbish.

If the German chancellor claims she is unable to make any “wild” promises on climate change, she may be half forgiven, considering the appalling efforts by Australia to reduce their own emissions.

From the twenty Annex 1 countries under the Kyoto Protocol, Germany comes first in reducing per capita CO2 emissions.

To add insult to injury, between 1990 and 2008, Australia increased its per capita CO2 emissions by 2.3 tonnes while the planet’s grim reapers, Canada, increased theirs by 0.9 tonne - move over Canada!

In fact, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency reports Australia’s ignominious placing at number seventeen out of twenty, just in front of Iran, South Korea and China.

Third world environmental standards for a “first” world nation eh?

I'm sure that'll put a smile on your dial Leigh but the more enlightened, will not be smiling with you.

Well done runner you did not read it go back a grade.
It quite clearly states, that even my 10 year old grandchild can understand, that is was a report from the 'United States Global Change Research Program (USGCR), which by law is required to report to Congress every ten years on the causes, effects, and possible responses to climate change in the US'
So of course it would not mention other countries.
Say it again - it is USA only report.
leigh has not read it either just shoot the messenger and burn the message. Can 9 billion survive and prosper in warmer times perhaps we should get them to move to your back yard.
