You guys can mock what your right wing ideology prevents you from seeing as the reality. The science is conclusive, its a proven fact climate change is real, and its extreme weather effects are with us now, but you wont accept that. Relying on false claims and pseudo science you're content to see out your lives in a state of ignorance, that's fine. If the world fails to adequately address the problem, then the real sufferers will be today's young, and future generations, not us who caused the problem in the first place.

The Australian people called for real action on climate change by their vote at the recent election. The people had got sick and tied of the Coalition and the rest of you naysayers supporters with your denial and inaction for a decade, now its time Australia stood up and be counted with the responsible nations of the world. End of story.

its a proven fact climate change is real,
Paul1405,
I don't think I know anyone who questions that. What is being frowned upon are bandwagon jockeys such as yourself waffling on & causing huge sums of public funding being spent on exactly what & what for ?
Building Green technology is anything but green. If & when you lot come up with a solution no-one will dispute you but until that happens you really need to focus on solutions instead of being a member of the problem crowd !

Indy,

mhaze and several others question it, claiming extreme weather events are not indicative of climate change, but rather a part of the normal cycle of weather events. The fact is, and the hard right for philosophical reasons wont accept it, that the burning of fossil fuels is causing a rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere, and subsequent temperature extremes, leading to floods, fires, droughts etc. We are all part of the problem, but naysayers with your perverted philosophy are the big problem.

"The people had got sick and tied of the Coalition and the rest of you naysayers supporters with your denial and inaction for a decade, now its time Australia stood up and be counted with the responsible nations of the world. End of story."

I think the problem started in the 70s and 80s with the commie funded anti-nuclear movement. It is because of their efforts over forty years ago that we are pursuing an economically impossible erratic energy solution (Australia would go bankrupt before it was finished) and have no intrinsic capability to develop nuclear power. With nuclear power there would be the possibility of replacing transport fuels with aluminium. If you develop cheap energy with a high capacity factor there would not be a major problem for the bumbling bureaucrats to solve.

Hi Fester,

The "Reds under the beds' nonsense has grown rather tiresome, the anti nuk, anti war, movements were fuel by ordinary people concerned by the destructive acts of war perpetrated by the military/industrial complex that had its genesis in Western Capitalism post WWII. These movements kicked off during the 1950's and were well established at the height of the Cold War of the 1970's. The Vietnam War gave particular impetuous to the peace movement as the horrors of war were transmitted on a daily basis into our lounge rooms through the medium of TV.

The media calls truths they don't like 'Russian Propaganda'.
- That's how the're responding to the Amnesty report on Ukraine.

With that in mind, can't we just call all this climate business for what it is?

I'm willing to go with 'Russian Propaganda'.
It's the in fashion thing to blame Russia...

I went down to woolies this morning and there were no large bags of sugar.
I'm fairly certain Putin did it.
