Real Climate Science

Australia’s climate changes with every ENSO shift. A little science education and history is a lot cheaper than drowning the country in taxes and mindless superstition. Even if you believe the climate models, the tax has zero impact on the weather.

Australia’s PM shows political courage on climate change

Last Sunday night, the Prime Minister of Australia went on national television.

Prime ministers in democratic countries take to the airwaves only if they have something extremely important to say. And Prime Minister Julia Gillard did. She said something inconceivable in Canada, at least under Stephen Harper’s government.

“Most Australians now agree our climate is changing,” she said. “This is caused by carbon pollution. This has harmful effects on our environment and on the economy. And the government should act.”

And act it did. Next July 1, the Australian government will put a price of $23 a tonne on carbon for the country’s 500 largest emitters. Three years later, the government will convert that tax into an emissions trading scheme, or cap-and-trade, whereby the government will mandate emission limits and let the market set the price.

At a press conference, Ms. Gillard explained her thinking: “The avalanche of science tells us our climate is changing. The science is in. We know that out planet is warming. We know that warming is changing our climate.”

Without a CO2 tax, Australia could face floods and droughts like they have had for the last 50 million years or so.

Scientists warn of future without climate action

ELEANOR HALL: While politicians debate the merits of the Federal Government’s policy for dealing with climate change, climate scientists gathered in Melbourne today to deliver a warning about the dangers of not acting.

They made some alarming predictions about global warming, including its dire effects on key parts of Australia’s environment, as Simon Lauder reports.

SIMON LAUDER: Professor of Environmental Studies at Melbourne University, Peter Christoff says the conference is his response to the 2009 UN climate meeting in Copenhagen, where world leaders agreed to limit global average warming to two degrees or less.

Professor Christoff says the way things are going global warming will be twice as bad as that by the end of this century.

PETER CHRISTOFF: It’s a conference which will alarm people in terms of what the science is telling you. It paints a very, very dark picture, in particular for Australia which is an ecologically fragile continent. But it also, I think, send a very powerful message which is that in the next decade, this next critical decade, we have time to move ourselves away from this probable future.

CO2 was 290 ppm at the time. There can be little doubt that your SUV is to blame. There also can be little doubt that reducing CO2 to 350 ppm will stop glacial retreat (assuming you are a complete moron or a famous climate scientist.)

Twenty four states set their all time high temperature record in the 1930s. Drought covered more than 80% of the country.

The strongest hurricane to ever hit the US struck Florida on Labor day 1935, with 180 mph winds.

“These tragedies are not natural disasters, they are human disasters. They are man-made tragedies,” he said when explaining the impacts of climate change. “It is our own carelessness,” he concluded.

Many religions seem to be converging on a common worship of CO2.

The storms keep coming and scorching temperatures are still rising leaving most Americans scratching their heads questioning whether or not all the talk about global warming just might be true. There are more Americans today that believe global warming exists and is causing the recent extreme weather, increased number of deadly illnesses, and rising sea levels.

One recent study conducted by Rasmussen Reports shows most voters (59 percent) now believe in the term “global warming” and that it is a serious problem.

The report comes as the earth continues to sizzle with soaring temperatures and unprecedented drought plaguing most of the nation.

Global warming is one of the most debated issues of modern times, but there are still 37 percent of Americans that still do not think climate change is a serious issue. The scientific community hopes to quickly change their minds.

The truth is more like unprecedented wet plaguing most of the nation.

1934 is what unprecedented drought looked like.

The Big Lie (German: Große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, for a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.”
