What makes you think our temperatures are at or staying above the higher level? Higher than what?
And on temperatures, variation is one thing but staying at or above the higher level as put forward by ghotib is the worry.
Do you think a direct threat of violence against individuals is a reasonable reaction to predictions, or even calls, for legal action against groups?<snip>
The truth is, at least some of these people reacting with threats of violence are probably only doing so because of the types of things said above.

You really do like straw men don't you Wayne.
I hear from people overseas that we are probably the most laughed at country with the current circus going on in Canberra.
And I absolutely can't understand NZ agreeing to an ETS when their contribution to total world co2 emissions are around 0.11%. They must be a bigger laughing stock than Australia.
Ruby, go back and have a second read of the very good post a day or so back on this thread by ghotib.
The fluctuations are not normal at all.
Climate change does need attention, there are many countries, particularly in Europe getting in to it up to the elbows and I repeat, as a developed nation we can punch above our weight with developing nations. It is about commitment and mindset.
And also as I said if we stop fiddling around we can probably profit handsomely as a nation from it too. And maybe even your Great Granchildren will one day love you for it.
The interview on 7.30 last night with NZ PM John Key was one of Chris Urhlman's weaker efforts. The point should have been made that NZ has always derived most of its electricity from hydro whereas Australia derives it from coal, so to compare the suggestion of 'switching to renewables' with the implication that this is similar for both countries is ludicrous.
And, given that both the Greens and Labor will not countenance nuclear power, would some of their supporters be kind enough to explain where baseload electricity is going to come from if the coal powered electricity companies become so unprofitable they simply close down. What then?

Well, well, an intellectual giant, no less. It must have been quite a comedown to be reincarnated as Mr Plod
It's also possible that it could be from the same side with the other side being blamed for it.
All is fair with love and politics, is it not ?

Don't think for a moment that it's beyond the rent-a-crowd professional protestors of the left, they are practised in the art. That guy on Q&A last week ('..why is climate science being taught in schools, it's just a theory like gravity..') - he looked very sus, and I think he was a plant to make out that sceptics don't believe in gravity.
Death threats to scientists at ANU? Does anyone seriously believe this? Let's see some hard evidence. Sounds like just another trick, their side is losing the argument and they're growing desperate.

what a joke... why is it that the minority in this country with such an ill informed moronic view seem to have the largest pedestal upon which to project.
Thank god normal people or those slightly right have the Bolt report to give some semblance of balance to the large left leaning of media and academia
"What a joke"... indeed. On this board alone the majority are climate change deniers. The media are in the same catigory.
Academia, what is your definition w.g.?
On this board alone the majority are climate change deniers.
Really?
Perhaps you could list who you think are climate change deniers and let them confirm or deny that accusation.
On this page 17 posts, including yourself I would say 7 against, and the remaining five includes myself probably for the warming camp.
"No names no pack drill."
But thats just my rough opinion. DYOR
