PS Howard would have done the same if he had the chance - then again that was as high as he could reach.
The deep divisions in the Opposition over an emissions trading scheme have been laid bare for all to see, with outspoken Liberal backbencher Wilson Tuckey labelling his leader "arrogant" and "inexperienced".
Mr Tuckey sent an email to all Opposition MPs and Senators criticising Malcolm Turnbull for suggesting the Coalition could back a scheme ...
Mr Tuckey is no fan of the Government's emissions trading scheme, but he is more worried Mr Turnbull appears keen to manoeuvre the Coalition into voting for it.
So , in summary , the current Labor are pro-actionFormer Liberal minister Robert Hill will chair a Federal Government trust designed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
The Brisbane-based Carbon Trust will see $75 million loaned to households, organisations and companies to refurbish buildings to make them more energy efficient.
The money will be paid back to the trust by the recipients through savings from lower energy bills.
Mr Hill held the positions of environment minister and defence minister in the Howard government.
......
"Nobody is going to argue against giving the public the opportunity to better climate outcomes or helping facilitate the refurbishing of buildings in a more or efficient ways.
It is also almost identical to that youtube presented by David Attenborough (using IPCC and UK Met Bureau data) . I won't post it again , I 've probably done so 3 or 4 times already. And those that refuse to read this sort of data will continue to refuse to read it no doubt.
Can't see you getting a job with the weather bureau there Mr J. (let alone the IPCC). And if you listen to what they're saying, it is that there is one heap of evidence that things are going downhill at an unprecedented rate....It may be happening, but we can't know until it's too late...

PS A few more people should read some of James Lovelock imo. He's an old man now. When he dies, the world will mourn.
I'll let others comment on that attitude ...So we're all doomed in 40 years! Why are you making such a song and dance about it? You won't be around. Doomsayers have been proclaiming "The End is Nigh" for centuries.. If an Apocalypse does come I don't think we will get much notice.
Lovelock was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974. He served as the president of the Marine Biological Association (MBA) from 1986 to 1990, and has been a Honorary Visiting Fellow of Green Templeton College, Oxford (formerly Green College, Oxford) since 1994. He has been awarded a number of prestigious prizes including the Tswett Medal (1975), an ACS chromatography award (1980), the WMO Norbert Gerbier Prize (1988), the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for the Environment (1990) and the RGS Discovery Lifetime award (2001). He became a CBE in 1990, and a Companion of Honour in 2003.
ozone :-A lifelong inventor, Lovelock has created and developed many scientific instruments, some of which were designed for NASA in its programme of planetary exploration. It was while working as a consultant for NASA that Lovelock developed the Gaia Hypothesis, for which he is most widely known.
In early 1961, Lovelock was engaged by NASA to develop sensitive instruments for the analysis of extraterrestrial atmospheres and planetary surfaces. The Viking program that visited Mars in the late-1970s was motivated in part to determining whether Mars supported life, and many of the sensors and experiments that were ultimately deployed aimed to resolve this issue. During work on a precursor of this program, Lovelock became interested in the composition of the Martian atmosphere, reasoning that many life forms on Mars would be obliged to make use of it (and, thus, alter it). However, the atmosphere was found to be in a stable condition close to its chemical equilibrium, with very little oxygen, methane, or hydrogen, but with an overwhelming abundance of carbon dioxide. To Lovelock, the stark contrast between the Martian atmosphere and chemically-dynamic mixture of that of our Earth's biosphere was strongly indicative of the absence of life on the planet.[4]
However, when they were finally launched to Mars, the Viking probes still searched (unsuccessfully) for extant life there.
nuclear supporter:-Lovelock invented the electron capture detector, which ultimately assisted in discoveries about the persistence of CFCs and their role in stratospheric ozone depletion.[5][6][7]
Lovelock has become concerned about the threat of global warming from the greenhouse effect. In 2004 he caused a media sensation when he broke with many fellow environmentalists by pronouncing that "only nuclear power can now halt global warming".
In his view, nuclear energy is the only realistic alternative to fossil fuels that has the capacity to both fulfill the large scale energy needs of humankind while also reducing greenhouse emissions. He is an open member of Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy.
doh - stupid bludy language ...... he deserves the many acculades bestowed upon him. ...
accolade 1. any award, honor, or laudatory notice: The play received accolades from the press.
2. a light touch on the shoulder with the flat side of the sword or formerly by an embrace, done in the ceremony of conferring knighthood.
etc
doh - stupid bludy language ...
PS whereas "to behead" is "a somewhat more vigourous touch of the sword, more on the neck than the shoulder" etc
2020, what has the above post to do with the topic?
Nothing, as far as I can tell.
Do you just have nothing to do, that you feel obliged to clog up threads with your multiple irrelevancies?
