It was probably just after you dropped out of high school Richie.

Were you aware that Christopher Booker presented his spiel at the Heartland Institute's latest gabfest in New York?

Why did he (or any of the speakers) prefer this venue to where the real science conference was happening: the International Climate Science Congress in Copenhagen?

Could it be that the Heartland's soiree is fundamentally based on neo-con ideology, not science?

Can I invite you over to ambit gambit - no word limits :-)

have a read, and get back with some substantive questions ... rather than some glib arcane remark about science and the arts.

yes bugsy around the time they chsnged world view of the education system. I only went to the low school but learned enough to tell when someone takes forever to say nothing and has verbal diorea.

There might be a typo here Richie 10

From the spelling, grammar and sentence construction, I'd hazard a guess that you meant "law school"?

LOL! My coffee just spilt perilously close to my laptop...

The science might still be debated, but the political science is settled. All 3 levels of government looming over me have accepted AGW as fact, but seem to do bugger all about it.

The Feds are keen to introduce a neo-con market solution. The NSW govt. just want to get the hell out of their historical role of power generation and the LC do a bit of recycling.

Both Howard and Rudd have given limited funds to R&D eg a sum for a trial hotrocks plant due to be commissioned in 2018 I think. Where is the CSP tower? Not sceptical, just cynical on this score. Aint it just like a government to visit a huge problem on each of us, which as individuals we might not be experiencing, and then do sfa about it themselves?

The development of clean renewable energy makes sense on environmental, pollution, economic and security reasons. I am unconvinced about AGW and many of the claims made (and the tenor of many of those claims), but support a smart and economically sustainable shift to renewables
