And for anyone else who still needs convincing.....

Check here Global Warming: The Origin and Nature of the Alleged Scientific Consensus

to see one of the world's leading climatologist's blow the lid off the way in which scientific journals are now operated......very interesting ....

I think it’s beyond people being convinced, need to just lube-up and hope it won’t hurt too much

I really can’t grasp the massive following that it's received, out of all my acquaintances there’s probably only around 2% that are ‘believers’, but that I assume is due mostly to them not understanding and just going with it. Apparently the majority are for it - but then I struggle to find anyone that voted for Rudd as well.

There is a new social trend forming called the TV sheep, if it's on mainstream news it must be true and I better jump on board before I look like an idiot.

To a lesser extent its similar to the group that buys EL's.

in my opinion global warming is just bull of cause the worlds warming up it been warming up from the ice age and they say if the ice caps melt then every one will be flooded but then they say all the ocens will stop flowing and the world will frezz over so are we going to all be flooded and hot or are we going to frezz

tony Abbott is the new pick for this week lets see if he has right stuff to sort this ets business out, good luck

ETS legislation in it's current form has been voted down 55 to 29 . To be revisited in the new year post Copenhagen

still has to get through the Senate though

hahahaha Rudd will be seething

[rockafellqeinstien]

I like how most solutions by goverments these days involve us paying them more money.

Carbon polution = ETS= Tax

Car accidents = fines = tax

smoking = death = tax

drinking = to much fun = tax

Reduce car pulution = increase fuel prices = tax

how about a bit of personal resposibility/education/enginered solutions???

might have to get into politics (or put my goolies in a blender) - not sure which one will be more plesent.

At least with Abbott as leader there may actually be an 'opposition'. Glimmer of hope on the horizon anyway.

[Buf-Phoon]

should make for good politics. Krudds innane meaningless spin. Speaks for ages and says nothing V Abbott who is probably probably too direct and combatative to a fault.

Rudd will be a no show when it comes to answering the tough questions , as he is on radio. All nice appearing on FM stations that are happy to discuss the colour of his tie.

2 years in office and has yet to appear before Alan Jones/ Ray Hadley et al. Seems Kev hasn't that much bottle after all. Mind you seats would sell out pretty damn quick

Did you see Keven747's speech from the US today Jules. I have no idea what he was saying but it was memorable for all the ...trying to be all serious talking about Afghanistan but it was just embarrassing.

No wonder the rest of the world think we are dumb! Oh that's right we are...we voted him in didn't we
