We're all
climate sceptics now
After years of editorial climate
alarmism, The Australian's leader writer joins the ranks of the climate
sceptics.
Unpublished letter to the Australian, January 22, 2010.
Bob Carter responds to a critique (Bob Carter's attack on reason) of Artlcle 146 (below) by former Minister of Science, Mr. Barry Jones
Quadrant Online, Dec. 21, 2009.
147. Nature will decide Earth's Future
No scientific paper exists that demonstrates that the late 20th century warming falls outside the rates and magnitudes of past (geological) climate change.
Sydney Daily Telegraph, Dec. 9, 2009.
146. Kill the IPCC
Every dollar that is spent on a false environmental issue such as dangerous human-caused global warming is a dollar lost to fixing real environmental or social problems.
ABC, The Drum, Dec. 8, 2009.
145. Climate news is good
No scientific evidence exists that warnings
greater than 2 deg. C will cause environmental catastrophe, rather, this number
is one plucked out of the air for reasons
of political targetry and control.
Kalgoorlie Miner, Nov. 21, 2009
144. The science of deceit: science is about simplicity
It is a critical matter of necessity to understand that, in addition to being political, IPCC advice is also based upon faulty, indeed manipulative, science practice.
Quadrant Online, Oct. 25, 2009.
143. Climate change poll shows a cooling off
No amount of carbon dioxide taxation, or human emissions reduction, will affect future climate.
Newcastle Herald, Oct. 22, 2009.
142. Forward towards a proper climate policy
Climate hazard management policies need to be national and regional, not global, for climate risk inherently stems from local geography.
Quadrant Online, Oct. 19, 2009.

"Not Evil, Just Wrong" - a Review
Watch this film, and use the
knowledge that you will gain to lobby your Senator to vote against the

Dear
Malcolm
The issue is not an Emissions Trading
Scheme (ETS), but a proper national climate policy - why can't Malcolm Turnbull
understand that?
Quadrant Online, Oct. 2, 2009.
139.
Our ABC: Mired in a Moral Morass
A broadcaster is in trouble when it,
rather than the news that it carries, becomes the story.
Why are today’s media directors and reporters so
incapable of making accurate critical judgements on environmental issues?
Quadrant Online, Sept. 28, 2009.
138.
Think globally, act locally: giving Earth the benefit of the doubt
The "precautionary principle" has
long since been abandoned as a tool of public policy by the U.K.'s mother of
parliaments: why does it remain
so popular with Australian global warming lobbyists and politicians?
Quadrant Online, Sept. 21, 2009.

Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature
Most of the variation exhibited by the
global average temperature reflects variations in the state of the El

136.
Some notes on sea-level change around the Australian coastline
Sea-level alarmism is mostly based
upon hypothetical global change and takes little account of local relative
sea-level - the key characteristic
that needs to be measured and understood for good coastal planning.
Briefing notes prepared June 2008.
135.
Ignore
scares from all sides and plan with prudence
A responsible government, or
opposition, would be making plans to deal better with natural climate events,
knowing that such planning
would also cope with human-caused change - should it eventuate
Sydney Morning Herald, Letter, August 19, 2009 (prior letter by Professor Steinberg, Aug. 17)
134.
Global
warming not man-made, and an ETS will beggar the economy
The government doesn't ask the world
bank for advice when it sets its budget, so why does it ask the UN's IPCC to set
its climate policy?
