“CSIRO managers had written to the journal’s editor demanding the paper not be published.”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

Bjorn Lomborg makes sense.

To the AGW truthers like our own “PKD” the science is solved and the truth is out there. My, oh my, does he get grumpy when the major flaws in his argument are demonstrated. However a much more sensible approach can be found from people like Bjorn Lomborg who is quite critical of the cap [...]

Greenpeace Recants

Read this post via the Blog surfer feature of WordPress and I thought that it is well worth promoting because the Greenpeace fellow is such a hoot as he squirms and then finally has to admit the error of their previous pronouncements on the Arctic Ice extent for this year.

Ice Capades: Greenpeace recants polar [...]

Warministas; reinventing the past in their own image

I really wonder just how some of the nutty stuff that is written to support the Warminista liturgy gets past any sort of academic scrutiny. Because if this piece is to be believed ancient peoples were responsible for altering the climate as a consequence of slash and burn agriculture.

William Ruddiman, the paper’s lead author and [...]

“GreenPower” is a con

I always thought that “GreenPower” was a bullshit con that was designed to extract money from the gullible. The recent changes to the advertising policy for this “product” are a vindication for my feelings of unease about the scheme.
IN A move that could cost the Federal Government’s GreenPower scheme public support, the Australian Competition and [...]

The church of eternal money making flim flam

It looks to me that our favourite palaeontologist is trying to channel Bernard Madoff, and dreaming of the pots of money that will be extracted from the people under various ETS schemes. He is, I am rather sure, hoping that he can be part of the financial action in the same way that he sees [...]

Would a warmer world be better or worse for humaity?

The Warminista orthodoxy tells us that a warmer climate must mean disaster for humanity but why should this be so when the evidence from the archaeology is that a warmer climate may well make productive parts of the planet that are currently rather hostile to civilisation. For many years the reasons for building Machu Picchu [...]

“Faith alone will not get us there.”

Regular readers here will have noticed just how sensitive those of the Green persuasion are to the accusation that their belief in AGW is a faith position, they will hotly deny that they hold their views on anything other than “science and reason” Of course they do this because they are deluding themselves and nothing [...]
