Climate Change Denier

Once again, if you climate change alarmists believe so strongly in this new religion of yours, why don’t you voluntarily contribute a major amount of your time and income to your “necessary” cause? If it was really that urgent and important, you’d all be jumping at the chance to do as much as you possibly can of your own volition and at your own expense! Why then, are you not? Why are most of you still driving cars, using electrical appliances, eating meat, and buying products and services from countries and companies who are the worst offenders? What are you waiting for? Why is your “urgent” action contingent on the evil “deniers” also footing the bill for your fanaticism?

Instead of spending a large amount of your time sanctimoniously berating the evil “deniers” who you’ve referred to as “loons”, “uneducated”, “simple minded”, “boy-men”, while criticising their “stupidity”, “ignorance” and “deep seeded psychological problems”, why aren’t you devoting every minute of your time and every cent you have to saving this “doomed” world of ours from those who you so clearly despise? How exactly is your time better spent ramming your beliefs down everyone else’s throats, instead of focussing every single bit of your effort into actually practising what you preach?

If your cause genuinely has as much public support as you all like to claim it does, you don’t need the endorsement of those who currently question your claims, nor do you need their funding – so what are you waiting for? Put your own money where your big mouths are! I repeat, why is your “urgent” action contingent on the evil “deniers” also footing the bill for your fanaticism?

This is why people are skeptical about Climate Change . Climate Change proponents have to push their shrill comments to a more and more extreme level – and people just turn off.

Tony Abbott announces his new Climate Change Policy:

Tony’s cut through climate plan

It almost does not matter what the plan is, as long as its not an ETS. Kevin Rudd will have to explain to the electorate what an ETS is, and it will be very enjoyable to watch him doing it.

Here is Peter Martin Economic correspondent for the Age telling us how wonderful the ETS will be back in November:

In the National Interest

A couple of weeks ago on ABC local radio one of his predictions for 2010 was that there would be a “Ruddslide” at the next Federal Election. I am sure he will have to eat those words.

Reported on the ABC website:

Heatwaves on the rise as record lows decline

It is interesting that researcher Blair Trewin from the Australian Bureau of Meterology only went back 50 years. He neatly missed the heatwaves in the 1930’s so his figures look more spectacular.

To quote from another ABC news item

The Weather Bureau says Adelaide’s hottest day on record was 46.1 degrees in January 1939.

70 years of CO2 in the atmosphere – yet we cannot beat a 70 year old record.

It has been said by many that Adelaide is getting hotter. I have problems with this. One problem is the Bureau of Metrology moved its office from the Adelaide Parklands on West Terrace to Kent Town about twenty years ago. Is there more Urban Heat Island effect at the Kent Town location?

Below is the continuous record for Adelaide Airport – is it warmer than the 1930’s?
