I have more to say on this subject.
First without reserve I believe in man made climate change.
And I support the tax that is to become a trading scheme to the extent I would have rather it started now not the tax.
I shake my head in wounder, that some say our moving on the issue will do no good.
Or that a seeming cloud of gas over our country may dissipate but not the worlds.
Yet on Anthoinyve,s arrival here I warned him, on this subject he would not win.
In my post and Anthoinyve,s the extraordinary FACT 60% now think so very differently than us.
Kevin Rudd rightly, told us this was an issue of importance bar nothing.
Gillard thought of electoral victory, not hers Labors,and talked him out of it!
We midst a drought that frightened us all,had support in the mid 70%.s to act.
Yet that has turned around?
One vote Gave Abbott leadership of the Liberal Party.
He was known before that as the mad monk he also was seen as anti woman.
Tony has informed us he lies some times.
He is in my memory the first opposition leader to openly defies a neighboring country, Indonesia.
Tony reminds us daily, rightly so, Labors softer approach to boat refugees ,while warm and compy, failed, he wants what we want, off shore processing.
I FIRMLY HONESTLY think Malaysia will work, no one will be whipped or harmed as per the agreement.
And I think too, that is the single reason Mr Abbott, his Tea Party faction of Liberal party is against it

So like Lexi, my opinion of Abbott is at least! as bad as hers, unfit to be in the house to clean it!
Wobbles, been watching your posts for a very long time.
I like every thing you do,but disagree often.
I think, with every bone in my body Nationals/Liberals/Conservatives have at least as many maggots in their ranks as us.
Too that such are filth in any camp, the above hide theirs better, do you see headlines about those currently under investigation?
Greens, any one wish to tell me they are in any way of any use to non conservative Australia?
They could have flogged Abbott.
Should have.
A dangerous group with many heads, but these two women now place both feet on an oily slope the greens are going to die in this country.
We will be better for it.
Sounds from my words Labor is on the up?
No not under Gillard, with all his wrongs open lies negativity Abbott has Gillards measure.
IF we wish to save the ALP, not be governed by this ugly inside little man,it is now not polling day, we need to fight back.
Only my words? my voice? watch the polling!
Rejoice in the fact many are demanding better from a till now deaf dumb and blind ALP.
And are soon to get it, first foot on the hard climb back.

don't worry guys the man who knows that most of the hysteria around mm gw is c_ap should soon be PM. The debate will be sent to the backbench where it belongs. A new scare will need to be found.

runner,

I think the fact that Mr Abbott believes it's crap (whenever the wind blows that way) shows his limited grasp of the issue and his political stratagem more than anything.

Interestingly, the Catholic Church tries to take the science into account:

Perhaps Tony should read more widely.

To go back to the initial question... Have a look at this week's (7 July) New Scientist - Is Global Warming Driving Our Weather Wild? Increased variability means that not only do we get a higher probability of extreme heat, but also a higher probability of episodes of extreme cold.

Poirot runner is unlikely to absorb any truth other than his own.
Abbott believe me lied again this morning.
OH what a lie, if only you and a few could have seen work choices in action.
It lived and breathed a raw unstoppable wish to convert us to a low wages for some country.
Our under 20,s suffered as did those who had no choice.
Abbott is intent on his task yet calls himself the workers Friend?
We never see,in his Liberal mates factory walk thoughts that general warnings are given to workers to be silent, or even have part of the day off if they feel they may insult him.
Yet I must, yes in the service of this government, every non conservative say yet again.
Thousands of former Labor voters rush to turn off the TV/RADIO when Gillard appears.
She is no longer being heard.
Is not able to confront this country most false politician ever.
With in reach of a post Gillard ALP opposed by such a man, still is victory.
We only need the Courage to look for it.
