csteele,

Here's a rollicking good article by Naomi Klein on Heartlanders and denialism. I've posted it before but don't know if you saw it. I'm sure Hasbeen, SPQR and Jayb will enjoy it as well : )

Loudmouth quite true.
I however was thinking in terms of 5 feet further up the beach not hight.
I am reminded by those who think the world has been coned of a Tsunami warning just weeks after the tragic one.
Seems hundreds took deck chairs raced down to the beach,picking a good spot to watch it!
Had it come? ten thousand new Darwin awards and ten thousand less anti climate change folk.

Won't the Carbon tax hold back higher sea levels ?
Maybe the more tax we pay the less the seas will rise.

Isn't it interesting that our lefty/greenie allocated correspondents are not interested in facts, or truth, just in the source.

Even more interesting that that old furphy is no longer holding water with the public. They have wised up to the peer-reviewed control of information by the warmest club.

Come on Steely, you question my integrity, but you won't answer the climate-gate story.

If they are not crooks, prove it, or pull your head in. I suppose it's banned reading for you warmest messenger types. Can't have you learning the truth about your gods, now can we?

@Csteele,

<< SPQR is now in a foetal position>>

No so, CSteele. More rampant that foetal.

You have got to hand it to the warmists, they have it down pat.
Hasbeen presents a piece of contrary evidence and the Csteele immediately (instinctively) goes into warmest defense dance.

First she tries discredit Hasbeen with talk of “plagiarism”.
Then, she tries to discredit the article by linking it with “The Heartland Institute”.
And after a hundred lines of waffle and putdowns, fails to address the argument –the Greens would be right proud of her!

Er…CSteele,

I am also waiting on your answer re the false predictions of Tim Flannery , our esteemed Climate Change Commissioner.
You are asking us to believe your models & predictions but it seems your highest authorities cannot get it right.

Now for glimpse of our clean green future a la CSteele:

It was a bright cold day in May, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Citizen Steele, her chin nuzzled into her breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the hessian curtain that served as a divider between the modules of the One Happy World Commune, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with her.

The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats, Belly had to be preparing the communal lunch. At one end of it a colored poster, too large for indoor display, had poster, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about six-five, with narrow emaciated features. Steele made for the stairs, she was due at Poirot’s module at 13:05 for the weekly political study session, this week it was the collected works of Commissar Klein.She’d be pushed to make it but she knew there no use trying the lift as it hadn’t worked since they converted the power stations to renewable energy, in accordance with an IPCC directive to cuts CO2 emissions. The flat was seven flights up, and each floor was occupied a ten child family of climate refugees , another IPCC initiative. Steele who was thirty-nine and had a hammer & sickle tattoo above her right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous picture of Bob Brown gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BOB IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
