Well Canada is about to announce that it is pulling out of any Kyoto agreement, following the USA, Brazil and Russia. Durban's turning out to be a dud. Now that the UK has suddenly discovered a shipload of natural gas and has access with frakking, I wonder how long before the UK turns its back on climate change too. Served its purpose when oil and coal had to be purchased overseas. Different policy entirely when there are enormous energy sources right under the home soil.
Good job Australia! Just when the main players are pulling out, Australia jumps in head first. Tell me who we are supposed to be trading carbon credits with again? It won't be long before the entire country is riding solely on the backs of the miners and the farmers. Any other exporting industry will be gone.
"The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering."
And another recent climate change hit. The wheels are falling off the fear jalopy:
Whoo boy… just a few days ago it was argued in a new peer reviewed paper published in
Science that
climate sensitivity might be lower than the IPCC stated in AR4. Now we have this damning admission from Dr. Tom Wigley of NCAR that it can’t be determined at all from the data we have. Of course they’d never tell anyone publicly such things.
Wattsupwiththat
