Juel Briggs Bring nothing new to solving the problems of carbon emissions and the depletion of resources, I can’t understand why on line opinion would use such rubbish. All he’s concerned with is maintaining the economic system that doesn’t work and is the disease that’s creating global warming. Juel Briggs needs to use some imagination and try to get some understanding of the serious environmental dilemma that system has place us in.

This is so so funny

"This is so so funny."

Yes indeed it's hilarious Runner particularly when Booker, a scientific illiterate presents himself as a climate expert to create confusion. In fact he's a gutter journo who peddles misinformation on many issues - not least about one of the world's most eminent astrophysicists.

Well done Runner in spotting the fraud!

It is obvious that you are one of the 'science is settled' people. Unfortunately few if any facts support you.

The argument that the world's biggest coal exporter is a minor player in climate change is clearly false and it's not clear whether a tax on energy would apply to export customers and be a tax high enough to cause a real shift in the economics of clean energy. I'd like to think so but doubt it.
We mine and sell coal on a scale that puts us right up there with the big boys and are currently massively expanding our export capability. Rudd has fully backed clean coal technology which is code for ongoing, unrestricted mining, export and use of coal. Turnball wants Australian interests and jobs put first which is code for ongoing, unrestricted mining, export and use of coal.

There's a growing acceptance of the new climate reality but not much sense of seriousness and urgency. We'll have to see a changing of the guard throughout politics and business to see more than greenwash.

It’s rather sad that poor old Booker (DOB: 1937) not only claims to be an “expert” on climate change but contradicts the science on asbestos, swine flu and a myriad of other issues. Now he’s written an article titled: “Charles Darwin zealots have made science a religion.”

Typical of Booker, he fails again to provide anything scientific when contradicting Darwin’s theories – just more gutter journalism attracting howls of ridicule:

1: “Thank you for this article Mr Booker, as it illuminates clearly your level of ignorance on scientific matters. Whilst you may still be able to write articles on the perils of socialism with some gravitas, your credibility with respect to the sciences, is now completely shot.”

2: “Mr Booker, if you or any other creationists want to put forward a competing theory, then you need to do the experiments, write the papers, and have them published like anyone else. You CANNOT get to God simply by "discrediting" someone else's theory, especially not by re-presenting arguments that were blown out of the water when Queen Victoria was still moaning about her dead husband.”

Unfortunately Runner, "few if any facts support you" and defending Booker, the "Patron Saint of Charlatans" reveals that your moralistic tirades are extremely selective and indeed, questionable.......?
