Poirot,

Into conspiracy theories much?

"Certain sections of the media promote a conspiracy by the IPCC because scientist's findings challenge the status quo." Really, pray tell which sections these are. If you are trying to implicate Newscorp, then perhaps you can indicate why you think they are biased, and that the many, many articles they have published promoting climate science are irrelevant.

Or perhaps you would prefer that any views not complying exactly with your PC view were censored?

Freedom of speech also implies the ability to say and publish things not cleared by the politburo of political correctness.

SM,

"Seeds of doubt" is the term of reference here. Of course, publishing agreement from real scientists is part of the parcel - as is publishing opinion and junk science opposing the consensus.

We live in an age of information. You do realise that those who control the media and their mates who oversee the status quo aren't dumb. They know once the seed has been planted, that the public, armed with a modicum of intelligence and a skerrick of scientific nous, will trot off and seek confirmation of their newly fashioned bias....and the "scientists" (who know their stuff) will be viewed with suspicion instead of venerated for their dedication.

Simple really.....

And there we have it.

Doubt cannot be countenanced, there fore all dissenting opinion must be quashed.

Labor's committees / inquiries are stacked with labor supporters or with frames of references that cannot give a dissenting opinion, such as:

The BER inquiry,
The pink Batts inquiry,
The FWA IR inquiry,

The NBN was excluded from the productivity commission, All competition was bought out and made illegal. It is also illegal to claim that price rises are even partially due to the carbon tax.

The committee into climate change for admission required that one agreed with a carbon tax. The carbon tax modelling assumed that all Australian competitors will have a carbon tax similar to ours by 2015, and Labor refuses to release the model for scrutiny.

Etc, etc.

BM,

Have you read the link. Before you make any claim that the carbon tax has influenced your prices, you need an audit trail, or you can get fined up to $1m, a fine reserved only for the carbon price.

However, you provided a link, a first for you. I hope it wasn't too taxing.
