spencer put this debate back a decade, he was responsible for the dodgy satellite data that caused a media frenzy that we are experiencing global cooling, this is well documented, his satellite data has since been corrected and it is consistent with other satellite data - clear warming trend...

return to the mean? the world has completely changed in the past 65 mil years.. the temperature began to drop rapidly ~ 30 million years ago, glaciers started forming in Antarctica, growth of ice sheets led to a dropping of the sea level, tropical jungles gave ground to cooler woodlands. India...

thanks, do you also believe that we are experiencing a global cooling? care to share what you base those beliefs on? well actually there is :D but im talking about peer reviewed scientific papers, not public opinion, most of us have been led astray by dodgy articles and journos opinions like...

now you're just taking the **** :D you are right though, you can only program what you know and all models are based on our limited understanding, models shouldn't be trusted. instead of looking at model projections look are past measurements, they all pretty much say the same thing ie...

what about the GST?

you lot would love this one “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” -churchill clearly he had no idea :p

yes i know and its all quite depressing, all the more reason not to blindly follow a particular "team"...

this isn't entirely true :) in the south pole sea ice is increasing but land ice is decreasing at an accelerating rate whats the difference? land ice is accumulated over thousands of years, its a result of snowfall over the antarctic land mass sea ice on the other hand is created from salt...

apologies, what i meant was that the physics of co2 is not debatable, the fact that it reflects heats back to the earth you need to look into the source data that says the earth has been cooling since 2002, initially NASA released satellite information contradicting the warming trend that we...

thats funny, all data clearly shows a warming trend, 2010 was one of the warmest on record that being said you need to be careful about where you base your average on due to the el niño southern oscillation, if you pick at certain points then you can easily say that the trend is cooling but...

apologies about he previous post, appears to already be handled we need to try a be a little objective especially when it comes to politcs, picking red/blue is a fools game, if we do that we all lose out in the end

you obviously don't watch much ABC, if you did you would see that just about every panel show more often then not has a slight bias to the right.. onsiders, the panel.. although the panel does tend to be a little more balanced if you actually watched ABC then you'd know what i mean, i do...

the media should be held to account if they intentionally and continuously misrepresent the facts/research.. fact is we don't get enough honesty and virtually no indepth representation of whats really going on in the world or australia, just look at what policies we have been debating in the...

wow, are we still debating our influence on the environment? its really simple, we are digging carbon out of the ground and releasing it into the atmosphere, that IS the problem, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing resulting in a hotter earth, greenhouse gases...

why would you want to get rid of the carbon tax, business are already starting to change their behaviour, the sooner its done the better after all it IS inevitable ;) we waste far too much, time to be a little smarter about how we live

100% hype 0% argument :)

to be fair we don't really practice capitalism in this country.. not that we'd want to.. something things should never be about profits.. imvho

ok fair enough... but how is increasing interest rates going to decrease demand when there is very little to start with? if inflation isn't being caused by aussie consumers then whats the point of increasing the interest rate?

pardon my ignorance but isn't the whole point of increasing interest rates to try and reduce consumer spending? state of retail suggests that an increase isn't going to have much of an impact.. so whats the point? apart from an increase in defaults and a further tightening of the family budget...

If we get 100mbps to the house then national network traffic would be so cheap that anyone would be able to broadcast live video and audio to over 300 other people in australia, thats a stock standard pc in your average home not a server sitting in some datacentre hooked up directly to the...
