Ralph I wonder if Rudd stands by his comment that the science behind AGW is “undeniable” now that much of the so called science in the IPCC report has been exposed as flawed.

Here is another example of some of the very “deniable” science behind the AGW “theory” – http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/02/17/ipcc-gate-du-jour-antarctic-sea-ice-increase-underestimated-by-50/

I guess this won’t get much coverage on the ABC!

What’s next I wonder?

That’s true, Greg. Rudd’s actions demonstrate exactly where climate change sits in his list of priorities (i.e. near the bottom).

Hi Ralph, as you can tell the “fakers” annoy me. I don’t own a car, I try not to waste resources and think we need to live in a sustainable way, but I don’t see how the planet will be “saved” by a carbon trading scheme and another tax. Let’s tackle pollution, food shortages, waste etc head-on if we are serious and stop mucking around with gestures like “earth hour”. (and conferences!)

If Rudd really thought climate change was the biggest issue we are facing then why didn’t he spend all the stimulus money on addressing climate change issues? Are school halls more important than the planet in the crazy world of Kev07?

Nice work, Greg. I suspect the number of fakers would run into the millions.

After a couple of years of ETS mayhem, it looks like it’s a dead duck, even as it is about to be re-introduced into parliament. There was a window for the government to introduce an ETS and/or some other form of climate change policy leading into Copenhagen. Now that Copenhagen has ended in a whimper, that window has been rammed shut and will probably not be opened again for several more years, if ever.

Meanwhile, my pet issue of resource sustainability continues to be a major issue.

Well a few days ago we found out the melting glaciers climate change “fact” was false and now the link between global warming and natural disasters has been exposed as nothing more than another manipulation of the facts and data by the UN/IPCC.

Back in November Kevin Rudd said “We will feel the effects of climate change fastest and hardest, and therefore we must act this week, and the government will be doing everything possible to make sure that can occur”

Now read this article from The Australian: United Nations caught out again on climate claims

Will Kevin apologise to the ‘deniers” and admit he was wrong? Will Penny Wong admit she does know a bunsen burner from an afterburner?

How can anyway now say that the science behind AGW is undeniable!

Here is another “hole” in the global warming story. I wonder if all those people who were screaming about melting glaciers will pull their heads in? See: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/united-nations-blunder-on-glaciers-exposed/story-e6frg6n6-1225820614171

Lawrie, Senator isn’t it amazing that the media generally does not question Rudd or Wong over their own “green” credentials. It really seems to be a case of do as I say, not do as I do.

I am still trying to understand how anyone thought “clean coal” was a solution to anything. If that is the sort of thinking we can expect from Rudd & Co then we are in serious trouble.

Lawrie – that is a great summary and proves that if Rudd was truly serious about supporting Australia’s future – he would be coming up with better water management and water security solutions and be serious about nuclear power plants.

Greg, this is a great article that goes to show the great hypocrisy of these so called “eco worriers”. There are a lot of people out there that claim to be “green” simply because they participate in “Earth Hour”. They don’t mind that they drive a V8 4WD but live in the middle of a city and never take it off road – leaving it idling while waiting for the kids to get out of school. They don’t mind that they are watching their plasma in the air conditioned comfort of their oversized homes because – they “switched off” for an hour last year.

Well said. But until this type of story makes it into the SMH or the Age most of your fakers will be unaware of their fakery. They figure if they convince a govt to preserve a forest or lock up some farming land that they have done their bit. They inevitably want someone else to pay. I accept CC but not the human induced form so I am proud to be a “denier”. I also support finding a relacement for Arab oil and am convinced that clean coal is an unobtainable pipe dream. What i see from Krudd and co is hypocracy. It’s going to be drier and there will be more droughts so where are the new dams? We have to stop burning coal so where are the nukes? We have a water problem so lets have another 15 million people. Yep. He’s one smart cookie. NOT.
