   Not only delusional media, but delusional politicians in Australia as well:
   “Mr Oakeshott said ‘real global agreement’ and a ‘global handshake is coming’ on carbon pricing.”

   This lunatic holds the deciding vote that keeps the liars in power in Canberra.

     I feel for you guys, I really do, We’re having a bit of a roe over here, too. I believe there will be other, more pressing issues soon. If we stop them now, and make sure they don’t sneak stuff in while we’re preoccupied with riots and stuff……… hmm.

     They’ve got a poll question with the story:

     Q: Do you agree with Rob Oakeshott about carbon tax and global warming?

     Yes (86.7%)
     No (13.3%)

     Total Votes: 45
     Poll Date: 11 August, 2011

     So I voted ‘No’ as a proud ex-student of Wauchope High School.

     Small world.

   Some skeptic sites seem to be funded by ads for green energy, which I think is quite funny. 😉

   Here’s a bigger task to the SMH:

   Prove that money, and/or where it comes from, changes any amount of truth.

   Morons.

   Maybe they’re funded by Big Tea!…. (Tea Party, that is) They’ve got lots of money! And they don’t want to agree to anything fun, like bankrupting the country. It must be them.

   To be a sceptic you have to question the validity of a THEORY! We are dealing with various opinions, assumptions and manipulated data. There is no testable THEORY behind Human Induced Climate Catastrophe. There are many Testable Theories behind Natural weather variability and sceptics are working to falsify those theories!
   The deniers are the ones that think an opinion is a theory as they deny science.
   I am sceptical of some of the theories about what drives natural climate variations, however I do not believe in HICC because I do not believe in Fairy Tales!
   Being in Austrailia SMH would do well to read Jo Nova’s web site as she has a fairly good piece regarding funding for most parties in the HICC controversy!

   I’ve been working for free when there is massive amounts of funding to be had? Boy do I feel silly now. Let me know when they publish the source of all of this skeptical thought.
