1. Gravity is a fact, there is one theory and several hypothesis to explain it.
2. Evolution is a fact, there are two theories to explain it.
3. Climate change is fact, there are several HYPOTHESIS to explain it.
Remember that natural phenomena are real, the explanations of how they happen are either theories, i.e have supporting evidence; or hypothesis - an explanation that the evidence is still being developed for.
All is of no consequence as Aust people now have to get on with the new paradigm.
Those that are against it can take heart from the fact that the Durban Conference will see the major "polluders" walk away from any commitment and leave Aust by its self with the carbon penalty on industry.
A carbon price mechanism places artificial pressure to force change in both consumers and producers of energy, whether one thinks this is a good or bad idea influences which side of the argument one is on.
There appears to be adequate compensation in the Clean Energy Bill to offset consumer disadvantage.
It is important that one uses more sources than Andrew Bolt's blog to inform ones self on this debate.
