Mowibble, I love a Sunburnt country, of droughts and flooding rains...
Yes there are droughts, floods, fires, cyclones, all of these have been blamed on global warming. I accept, I agree the climate changes, always has and always will. Perhaps we are going through a warming phase.
Perhaps manmade CO2 is to some degree responsible.
However to jump from that to changing the whole of our economy requires a whole lot of justification which hasn't occured. A huge transformation yet no economic study?? For Australia to lead the world in decimating its economy without any committment from other countries is lunacy.
The suppression of full, scientific, sceptical debate on AGW has been reprehensible. The bullying and name calling by those enjoying state support at the time was reminiscent of Mc Carthyism. The failure to embrace dissent and the badgering of those who expressed an alternate view was appaling.
Prof Carter will be recorded as a man who was willing to defy persecution. I suspect that after the AGW scam falls apart many other scientists will also claim to have been secretly resistance supporters, like Paris in 1946 when the oppressors yoke was lifted.
