from andrew bolts blog - but referenced to a csiro page.

drought in qld, in qld, - most likely has nothing to do with climate change. in nov 2010 (before the drought had broken) the csiro, reckoned that there would be more rain in the next 10 or 20 years
bolt highlights the changing positions of some people like flannery, karoly etc.
al gore claimed that cyclone katrina was linked to climate change - and that we could expect to see more of them... well, guess, what there has been no increase in severe weather events, in relation to cyclones (or hurricanes)
"it was concluded25 that there was no significant change in global tropical storm or hurricane numbers from 1970 to 2004, nor any significant change in hurricane numbers for any individual basin over that period, except for the Atlantic (discussed above). Landfall in various regions of East Asia26 during the past 60 years, and those in the Philippines27 during the past century, also do not show significant trends."
growers who use glass houses (or green houses), actually increase the levels of carbon dioxide - they get a better crop. the earth is "carbon starved" at present levels. more carbon, simply means more vegetation it does not mean that sea levels are rising (that is correct - the sea level at tavula is not rising - the islands in the pacific - are not sinking)
it is amazing that climate models, simply ignore the sun. the little ice age, coincided with a sluggish sun. that guy, piers corbyn, - looks at what the sun is like today, then looks back to see if he can find a similar situation - and then reckons the weather will be the same - he has a good track record. by way of eg, he correctly called a heat wave in russia - and floods in pakistan - it seems that there was a similar situation about 140 years ago.
it is so easy to be a sceptic ...the science is not proven - there are thousands of scientist, who simply do not believe in the concept of agw.
and the bottom line , is that there is no link to temperature, and carbon dioxide.
