Devil Climate Change - Fact or Fiction

The argument around Climate Change and the effects of Co2 emissions has about as much validity as the Millenium Bug had. The Climate has been changing since day one. As each day goes by more and more evidence is being put forward to question the dire predictions of the "Climate Change" believers. Who cares about where Prof Flannery built his house? I would be more interested in just where he has been hidden since being honest enough to tell us that, even if we met the emission reduction target today, it would be at least 600 years before any reduction in global temperature could be measured. Now one of our own CSIRO scientists tells us that even if all Co2 emissions were stopped we could not restrict global temperature rise to the 2 degrees C the target emission reductions are aimed at. This is an inexact science folks. The prophets of doom will have us all believe the end is nigh. The rest of the world must be wondering how a country with the "Worlds best Treasurer Mk 2" can be the lone imposer of a Co2 Tax with an outcome akin to Mission Impossible. For me, it is a SCAM. If Prof Flannery is right, and he is the Government's man, we have little to worry about, nor will many of our future generations.
