T Allen comes to mind.
I only just realised the predictive spelling conned me here. It should be Allard.

Anyone with half a noodle can feel change taking place, from the 70's till now the sun is really getting intense. Is the Sun getting more intense or is the atmosphere letting more UV through ? All I know from reading is that the Ozone layer takes a very long time to heal. Now with so many penetrations from space craft (going up that is) there must be huge holes in this layer which let the UV go ape$hit on Earth.
579,
I totally agree re this change. However, it appears to me that this change is heading towards where things were 40 years ago. I see it here in FNQ withe monsoons. In the late 70's it rained literally for days without a break. In fact I remember being in Weipa in 75 & we could not see the other kerb of the road that's how heavy the rain was. I haven't seen anything like it since. Also, the doldrums religiously started 16th -18th October but since the very early 80's they got later & later & now they don't start till late December. The tides haven't been as high since the 80's either. There is a change yes but it is contradictory to what the experts state. What can Australians do about it ? Probably hide somewhere & play with themselves.
If anything the Carbon Tax will make it worse because people/businesses need to find more money to compensate. What is the Carbon Tax spent on ? ALP Super funds is my guess.

sea level rise over the period
1986-2007 of 0.4 mm/year as opposed to 0.9 mm/year over the length of the dataset.”
sonofgloin,
I know science has made some mind-blowing advances but to claim to detect a half-millimeter change in sea level is stretching it a bit. If there is indeed any rise it isn't water , it'll be Urine from the population explosion. Both are salty though :-)

Some times I see posts that say I/poster get my views from the paper the chips come wrapped in.
Far worse it was the Australian!
A self serving slave to the interests of an ex Australian power broker big time.
I should control my urges.
To openly debate this issue.
I cringe at the localization of this world wide issue.
Some do you know, think its a Gillard plot.
I see changes, no not in climate they existed long ago.
But based not on the science, but on current international weather patterns, we will see public opinion change.
How may I ask many of us agree with indys view the carbon tax is going in to my super fund?
Comment without reason is no help at all.

This morning I awoke to the news that California is moving away from the Carbon tax. California's emissions trading scheme was to start in January 2013, but this morning I hear it is either gone or rejigged........Anyone have more information?

Belly,
I'm sorry I didn't make it clear enough. I didn't mean you as a supporter I meant to refer to the hierarchy such as I witness here in Qld with my ALP cronie line managers. I'm not at all pointing the finger at any worker as they, as am I are just pawns.
