  8. Divorced former Gillard boyfriend Craig Emerson:

    Let’s do the right thing by our kids.

    He argues that the carbon dioxide tax will cool the entire planet.

    He impliedly concedes the tax didn’t work this summer.

    So I guess it’ll work next summer.

  9. Science: ‘global warming’ over, Andrew Bolt right.

    AS Australians sweltered through a record-breaking summer heatwave this week, one of the world’s leading scientific bodies revised down its five-year projection for the world’s average temperature.

    The revision, slipped quietly into the public domain on Christmas Eve by Britain’s Met Office, has fuelled a significant and growing debate about what exactly happened to global warming.

    On one analysis, the forecast confirms what many people have been saying for some time. Global warming effectively stopped 17 years ago and, if the new forecast is accurate, that “pause” will be extended to 20 years.

    Oxford University backs Abbott:

    Professor Myles Allen, head of the Climate Dynamics Group at the University of Oxford, effectively said the revision provided a lesson in the dangers of spin.

    “A lot of people… were claiming, in the run-up to the Copenhagen 2009 conference, that ‘warming was accelerating and it is all worse than we thought’. What has happened since then has demonstrated that it is foolish to extrapolate short-term climate trends.”

    Foolish meaning “crap.”

  11. Divorced former Gillard boyfriend Craig Emerson:

    Let’s do the right thing by our kids.

    I am following emo’s advice and doing the right thing for my kids.

    - I will be voting against the Labor Party at the next election and encouraging everyone I know or meet to do the same thing

    - I ensure that my kids are well aware of the Green lies that they are told by the love media and their teachers

    - I explain to them how liberty, property and markets will provide them with a better future than any government can deliver.

    I trust that is what emo had in mind.

  12. Sorry – the new open forum was scheduled to come up at 12.01 like it does every week. But this morning it was marked as “missed schedule”. I probably didn’t press the buttons in the right order. My bad.
