Climate Change - An Australian Opinion



The picture is of Professor Ian Plimer, author of Heaven and Earth - Global Warming, the Missing Science and one of Australia's top geologists and academics. 

Watch the video and/or read his opinion.  Worth a few minutes of your time unless of course, you think climate change is definitely caused by humans.  (Scotland's mentioned half way through).

Ach, subrosa - you disappoint me. Have a look at this analysis [PDF] where he gets a thorough fisking. I'd love to check out Plimer at greater length (is he nuts, or has he been bought?) but life is too short.

Thank you Vronsky I'll have a look. I've can't decide what I think about climate change and tend to think governments are making it an excuse for more taxation.

I have made my mind up on climate change - the anthropogenic flavour that is. I simply do not accept it. Too many warmists play the man rather than address the points that have been raised. Too many basic questions remain unanswered by the warmist community.

Far too many retractions and corrections need to be made - and all of them reveal claims that have been made have not stood up to scrutiny. Projections with arbitrary algorithms being employed are no substitute for observation.

Projections about warming from just 10 years ago have not only failed to materialise, but the opposite has transpired. No projection accounted for it. For the last two years we have had 'hot summer' warnings yet both were washouts and the average temperature fell. I could go on.

Watched the vid - unconvinced. This is a geologist who is in the service of the mining industry who dismisses human induced climate change and promotes coal and nuclear.

Subrosa - here's a vid that uses a wee decision making matrix to help people make up their own minds about the correct approach to this issue.

Many thanks scunnert. Hope others watch that.

I put it up for the discussion factor more than my beliefs about it.
