Hitting the ground, not only running but ready for action

It certainly looks like Tony Abbott has hit the ground running and that he is determined to see the opposition actually meeting its job description by opposing the government, with the first order of business being to defeat the truly bad ETS proposed and developed By Brother Number One and Penny [...]

An Abbott and a Bishop have an exciting day in Canberra…

There are some days when I am a little bored by Australian politics and I find it just a to big an ask to find something interesting to write about here. Today when all of the “action” was happening I was actaully out doing the grocery shopping. I did manage to see Tony Abbott’s [...]

An incredible 80 per cent of Australians don’t even understand the ETS and want the Rudd Government to explain it better”

In the comments for my previous post on this topic Ray was excited by the prospect that the ETS issue could be the one that keeps Brother Number One in the lodge for the next two terms, but the Galaxy Poll done for the Sunday Mail suggests that the CRPS is by no means [...]

As dead as Malcolm’s leadership prospects?

At the risk of sparking a backlash from some dumbarse storkers at you-know-where (who have so little self respect that they can’t take the slightest bit of fair criticism), I feel compelled to report on the amazing lack of interest shown in the current Liberal leadership debacle over at …. well, a certain website that shall [...]

Tesco has paid £25 million to have its plastic bag scheme endorsed by Professor Mohan Munasinghe

It doesn’t rain but it pours! Just as the Warminista faithful begin to treat their abraded and chafed knees (injured while scrambling to find excuses fro Phil Jones and his pals) a new scandal emerges for the faith because it seems that the UK retailer Tesco has paid £25 million to have its plastic bag  [...]

A death knell for the CRPS and Turnbull’s time in the big chair

The only question that matters when it comes down to the leadership of the Liberal party is will Turnbull hold on long enough to deliver the government a yes vote on its disastrous CRPS bill. Personally I think that no matter what he personally thinks about the Warminista faith Turnbull would do irrevocable harm to [...]

Sipping from the poisoned chalice

The woes of  Malcolm Turnbull  are all swirling around a religious issue and the fact that he shares the same faith as dear old Brother Number One . Turnbull does not however have the unqualified support of his party room on the dreaded ETS , more importantly he has tried to suggest that he has [...]

“CSIRO managers had written to the journal’s editor demanding the paper not be published.”

When I first heard that the government of Brother Number One was planning to tackle “Global Warming” with an ETS I immediately had a vision of the great leader trying to control a very large bus from the back seat by tying a couple of strands of soggy spaghetti to the steering wheel and [...]

A glimmer of hope that the opposition will actually oppose

As a life long atheist I have had a very long-standing interest in the religious faith of others . No belief in the supernatural out shines the nuttiness of the Warministas these days.The chock-full-of-nuts believers in AGW are amazing because they just seem to believe in  “solutions” that do absolutely squat to change anything, [...]

What Brother Number One is NOT telling us about Copenhagen

Hmm I don’t have the treaty to check but it sounds believable to this sceptic…
Cheers Comrades

How else can they buy their way into Green heaven?

The idea of public protests has a very long pedigree, and in my life time I have seen and taken part in protests and street marches against the excesses of the Bjelke-Petersen government here in Queensland.
I was by no means obsessed with the issues but it was the thing to do and at the time [...]

Environment in a D cup

Nice looking woman, but I find the consciously beautiful people some what tragic, especially when they trade on that beauty   for their livelihoods, But the idea that perfectly filling a D cup qualifies you to comment on the environment  really funny. I also can’t help wondering  if the lady in question will be embarking on [...]

At what point do you admit that negotiations are futile?

AGW is one of my pet topics at this blog and I have often argued that even if the doom sayers are right about “the science” that they still have no answer to the insurmountable political hurdles that their prescription of CO2 reductions faces. I argue that there is just no way known that the [...]

The selling of indulgences

Readers of this blog who feel guilt about the carbon consequences of using their PC can now but indulgences to assuage their guilt about the CO2 generated by each key stroke….

“A computer takes about the same amount of environmental impact as the making of a small car because of the materials that are used [...]

If AGW happens it will only be in hindsight (a very exact science)

While I have waited for nearly two years for PKD, as they used to say in Rome “digitus extratus” and do his guest post on AGW, Sock Puppet, on the other hand  has not been at all tardy in writing his shattering exposition on the same subject. Now I am not sure that I entirely [...]
