Prediction: Losing election simply due to climate scepticism

  1. This is a great example of the confusion surrounding climate change. Talk to one of the "experts" and it's the heating of the planet which is the problem. Casey says it's the cooling. Cooling primarily caused by the sun according to him. He goes on to say, "trends indicate we could be headed for colder temperatures similar to those seen in the late 1700s and early 1800s"
    Okay climate geniuses, is it the sun or the evil carbon emissions? Are we about to fry, or freeze? Maybe both?
    Seems to me that the climate is in for a dramatic change in the not too distant future(that might be a hundred or more years) and there isn't a f'n thing we can do about it. And lets say for the sake of argument that it is caused by the evil man and not the sun. What's the plan? Evil America cutting our emissions while China and India increase theirs dramatically? Yeah, that'll work out just fine.

  3. yeah, except Casey's theory makes perfect sense to me, and it scares me, and I am all for doing something about it if that is what the left wants. If you just want to get people like me scared so you can control them to do something, the global cooling works a heck of a lot better than global warming.

  4. Not to worry. I'm sure that a lot of guys here have their bunkers filled with canned beans. Of course, they're less concerned about climate change wiping out the human race than they are about Obama coming for their guns.

  5. Obama should give the people safe bunkers, guns and beans.

    London: Climate change is forcing England to reassess its flood defences in the face of unprecedented river level surges, one of the British government's most senior environment officials says.

    "We are moving from a period of known extremes into a period of unknown extremes," said David Rooke, deputy chief executive of the government's Environment Agency, which manages the country's rivers.

    "We will need to reassess all the defences right across the country."

    Victoria bushfires: a state of anxiety as Victoria fears a black January

    Victoria's grasslands are now as dry as they normally are in early February, a worrying scenario which increases the threat of fire and adds to the evidence that the state faces a longer and more threatening fire season than normal.

    Much of the state's forests are also drier than normal for late December, a point reinforced by the dangerous behaviour of the Otways fire on Christmas Day, a fast-moving blaze which destroyed 116 houses.


    The blaze brings the total number of houses lost so far this fire season to almost 140. It is a staggering statistic, particularly given that January and February are when Victoria suffers the hottest conditions and greatest number of house losses.


    A grassland curing map shown on the Country Fire Authority website shows at least two-thirds of Victoria covered in bright red, indicating the grasslands are 100 per cent dead, or "cured". This means grasslands in these areas would carry fire easily.

    The grasslands have almost totally dried out in all of western Victoria, north-western Victoria, northern Victoria, central Victoria and much of the north-east. The map, dated Monday, shows that in Gippsland the grasslands are about 60 to 90 per cent dried out.

  9. Did you say " about climate change wiping out the human race " ?

    It would be too expensive, and too much money involved! Not worth to consider it! Just Don't worry about it! At All!

  10. Exactly. Here's an expert who agrees:
