Does anyone have a link to what Tim Flannery actually said? Considering the previous false accusation (on this board) that he predicted it would never rain again in Sydney, I refuse to take second hand reports of his claims at face value!

Jerry Ellis is wrong: the push to meet CO2 targets is making our power supply more reliable. And though the way it's been funded with cross subsidies has led to a rise in electricity prices, those now appear to have peaked.

Meanwhile the warming predictions of climate scientists are coming true - though of course it's a fact that what they predict will happen centuries from now has not yet happened.

Despite what the rightwing tinfoil hat brigade (including Tony Thomas) think, this is about CO2, not control or wealth transfer. There was no requirement for us to choose the expensive cross subsidies option (we could have used concessional loans instead, or even opted for nuclear power). But that's all moot now, as renewables have become cheaper than new fossil fuelled power plants.

Here's the map which ttbn is talking about. It takes about 10 seconds to get things straight:

Some good news appears on the Australian Conservative site 29/9/18.

The Australian government has decided to freeze its level of funding to the UN Green Climate Fund, rather than succumb to the corrupt body's squeals for more money. Far from being anything to do with climate, millions of dollars have gone to “replace cooking stoves in Bangladesh
and providing ' gender responsive' (whatever that is) drinking water projects in Ethiopia.

A former member of the Green Climate Fund has written a “scathing critique” of the fund's operation. Jacob Waslander has said that, rather than being a dynamic global centre for climate finance, the board as been “mired by ineffective decision-making in an atmosphere of distrust”.

United Nations, globalism, wealth redistribution – all things for Australia to avoid like the plague.

And NASA with its nosy drones just cherry-picking the left side of the Arctic. Stop the NASA - send its images to the bin or Manus space- junk penal colony.

Apart from reporting on the government's slashing of funds to the UN and its climate capers which have nothing to do with the climate, the Australian Conservatives believe that, as well as the resisting the UN's extortion, we should follow the U.S. and withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council, which “regularly tries to lecture Australia on how we conduct ourselves as a nation”, despite the fact that the council is infested with despots who wouldn't know human rights from a hole in the ground.

Thanks nick.

I think I see what's happened: ttbn's noticed a symbol on Figure 40 (a diagrammatic map NOT a detailed threat map) at a scale that would make it hundreds of kilometres long, and assumed it related to the Nullarbor not Ceduna!

Stuth, ttbn, get a life! If you honestly think a minor cartographic misalignment really means Tim "expects us to believe that the sea will rise 60 metres over the cliffs of the Bight to flood the land" then it's you, not he, who needs to be certified.

But of course you don't really think that's what he means at all, do you? You're just trying to discredit him because you don't like what he has to say. Having failed to find any objective errors, you resorted to nitpicking, ad hominem and lies.
