It seems as if the usual white knight defenders of AGW have gone to ground all of a sudden. Given Tim Flannery's embarrassingly bad attempt at damage control, I'm not really surprised.

That said, I do wish angry (of Mayfair?) would stop shouting ...

Angry, indeed everybody, who is concerned about anything, i have found a protest, about anything, solution for you. We also have a "shortage of water" problem, as well as the ETS, Evil Torture System. Conserve water by not using the toilet. Go to BabyCo or any retailer selling baby stuff. Buy a good quality nappy bucket. Not too big or cumbersome to carry around. The good ones have a lid, which seals well, similar to tupperware, which could also do the trick, if you want a more petite sized container. Every day do your number 1's & 2's in it.

Everyday, on your way to or from, work, shopping, etc, seek out politicians, bureaucrats, journalists, femanazis, etc, & introduce them to the contents of your container. If we can all do this, every day for perhaps a year or so, they might begin to understand how appreciative we are of their efforts so far.

Hey CJ Morgan "I'm tired of arguing with tendentious twats and those who are willingly sucked in by them about AGW and have decided to simply point people in the direction of reliable data and good analysis, interpretation and explication of that data by real scientists who know what they're talking about."

So where do you point them now? Who do you trust now?

Now you know how we all feel ..about all those pompous, sneering twats willingly and whole heartedly sucked in by devious scientists just lining themselves up for financial and positional rewards. Maybe you should have actually read up on the science yourself, instead of just the conclusions! Big Oil got nothing on the criminal acts of this industry.

How do you feel now putting on a pedestal those who collude to peer review each others papers, who gang up on anyone who criticizes, who rejoice at the death of a doubter, who are clearly in it for the money. Who create "models" that in reality just produce the required graphs for funding submissions.

If you behaved the way the CRU people did in the financial industry you would be jailed for insider trading.

As it is the whole "science" of AGW is now in doubt, brought down by a bunch of greedy individuals, and well deserved it is too.

Shades of all the bankers in the GFC eh? This mob are no different.

Great article Joanne, our PM's all hot air based on false premises as are all the AGW believers whose church has now been shown to be based on false prophets.

Too late for us anyway, since our PM requires us to be sacrificed to his ego and career, anyway, he can just blame the scientists, and he will.

odo, the word you are clearly grasping for is, Cartel.

I am finding the attempts to silence the critics very concerning. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/the-price-of-dissent/story-e6frg7b6-1111118127677

I've tended to think that we need to take the AGW claims seriously and act (although I have not accepted that a new tax is the answer) but the approach taken to silencing critics continues to nag.

AGW does have all the markings of a left wing dream come true with the opportunities to impose yet more government controls over peoples lives and choices. The opportunities to impose new and expanded taxes. The opportunities to dole out compensation to favoured groups. The opportunities to punish industry in ways that will be passed down to hurt the wage earners (and keep them feeling oppressed).
