In the 'wish I'd said' that stakes, well said by this blogger. It's longish, but hits the mark. My bolds.

"..So the man made global warming carbon issue for labor is going to suddenly become an absolute winner here, and they are going to turn it all around, record low polls, the lot, no worries, when
it has been a guaranteed proven absolute loser in the US (Senate) and Canada (recent general elections). A lot of people would like to know how that is going to work?
Rudd, ever the prick eared opportunist, would seem to have had the insight to know that it wouldn’t, when he ditched the greatest moral challenge of our time. The evidence from the US has been staring everyone in the face for several years now.
References now to what a handful of US states are doing with the warmie dogma is not the story,
despite the ABC trying as hard as it can, it is what the vote for the US Senate amounted to, a repudiation of the greenie/warmie agenda that was simply bound to happen.
The Aussie warmie journos blogs trying to sell us the religion are having their comments sections become chock full of opposition now, and expression of the numerous lines of legitemate scientific doubt that the absurd promotion of the nonsense theory has created. This is no big oil conspiracy, it is the eventual triumph of common sense.
As a consequence the level of hysterical stupidity from the warmies is reaching truly comic proportions, read the whacko catastrophising warmie article in Wednesday’s(6/7) Age(paper ed), which must surely have been researched from the warm list itself. These crying wolf efforts are now only self cancelling, and fuel to the doubt fire.
It was good to see the argo bouys getting a mention recently on a blog here.
The argo bouys pepper the world’s oceans and amount to the world’s most modern and comprehensive temperature measurement system.
They indicate no warming, over a time when the highest ever levels of human created carbon pollution in the history of the world have occurred, and arguably, alone, amount to a proof that cancels out the greenhouse gas theory, as the bouys measure the temperature of the greatest heat regulator of the earth, the great mass of ocean that covers over 70% of the earth’s surface. Why no warming indicated? Consequently, only silence from the warmies on the argo bouy’s data. This issue never addressed by the ‘scientists’. The obvious answer, because the theory is totally bogus, that’s why!
The old hippie/confirmation bias/ warmie hysteria will pass, as it has elsewhere, despite the push along it got from the big idea merchants in various faculties of academia, and the union cafeteria ‘big bang theory’ Einsteins thinking they were scientific breakthrough revolutionaries of a new age. This is one fantasy that has happened, and one scientific revolution that hasn’t. We still just plain don’t know.
The allegation of an alleged scientific understanding of the heat transfer dynamics of the entire planet is, at last, becoming widely recognised for the total, absolute and utterly fantastic nonsense that it is. Recall “the evidence” button on the IPPC website pre Copenhagen leading to climate models?
The real mystery is entirely sociological.
How it ever got the hold it did in the age of reason, when every aspect of every appliance in everyone’s house operates on the uncompromising principles of the scientific method only (unless they have a Brock commodore in the driveway)
For my part, a letter from an old uni friend, recieved in the late 80’s, points the way, speaking about a change in the climate, and how he suspects the greenhouse effect. The hippies in their dream world were the only ones talking about the greenhouse effect in the 70’s. A bit like the way the oldies copy the fashion of the young, and boom up the old surfie haunts, the old hippy nonsense got a hold, thanks to confirmation bias, and the drawing of conclusions in circumstances where all the variables were simply never covered.
This was never real science, it was post modern sloppy thinking and the history of the scientific method/industrial revolutions indicates it has no future.
Gillard’s catastophising to try and sell the unsellable carbon tax will only serve to hasten it’s end.
Dangerous climate change = dangerous nonsense, for all parties!
The only relevant question now is, do we end up in serious economic trouble as a nation before this government is either fundamentally re-arranged or thrown out, or afterwards, due to it’s legacy? While the economic future cannot be predicted,
the level of national debt should be everyone’s major concern at the moment, and it is a fair argument that we are already in serious economic trouble. Our export income is the key, with sound and very careful economic management required for many years to come, reform of science education to re-instate the scientific method, repair of our international relationships, especially with the democracy of Indonesia, and hopefully the lesson learnt by the electorate that the green left is a toxic political poison.
Genuine moves to reduce chemical pollution and deforestation, and research solar and other forms of energy, that may well prove viable, and more efficient in the future than coal, have likely been seriously set back by the warmanistas time in power here.."
