The Gillard Government

[Logique]

I'd like the odds on (Head of the CSIRO) Dr Megan Clark receiving phone calls from the PM and Bob Brown today.

The CSIRO and Bureau shame themselves
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/
Our top climate authorities have proved once again how they’ve turned themselves into propagandists for the warmist faith.
The State of the Climate report released yesterday by the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology is a disgrace. Its omissions, red herrings and cherry picking shame both organisations.

CSIRO denies its head, Megan Clark, has any conflict of interest over carbon store role
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nat...arbon-store-role/story-fn59niix-1226170818106
THE head of the CSIRO is at the centre of conflict of interest claims over her role as a director of a Tasmanian company that purchases land for carbon sequestration.
It was revealed in Senate estimates today that the peak science body's chief executive Megan Clark is the director of Cradle Mountain Carbon Pty Ltd and is also on the board of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Cradle Mountain Carbon Pty Ltd is a private family company that sets aside land to store carbon as part of efforts to combat climate change.

Wouldnt surprise me one bit, crooks all of them.

You obviously don't know much about peer review.

If scientists present dodgy data, their peers let them and the public know about pdq.

I doubt if eminent scientists from CSIRO and the BOM would knowingly present fraudulent data.

If you think they have, say so.

Of course that eminent scientist Andrew Bolt thinks so, so it's obviously true, right ?

Climate "science" does not... cannot follow scientific method. IOW it is not falsifiable, but must merely be plausible.

Hence peer review in this field does not carry the import it does in others.

It may or may not be fraudulent, but the data is highly open to interpretation in both causation and effect.

 

[IFocus]

He he, it takes one to know one. NSW people will just roll their eyes and move on. Rhetoric and propaganda, it's all Labor-Greens have left to cling to, with their policy suite almost completely discredited.

Its a proven method ask Abbott

What a load of complete rubbish, publishing and peer review allows for challenge of the position or emulation that confirms nothing to do with importance.

What a howler of a statement pfffff

You speak of clear English but I notice you are great user of acronyms. I have had a look at it but would like your explanation and/or the meaning of "IOW".

To me they are weeds in sentences and more often cloud meaning, or is that the purpose ole pal.

 

[drsmith]

In terms of managing global carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, what will a carbon price of $23/tonne in Australia (and rising each year) achieve ?

This is one core question Labor and their allies in government have to answer.

The other is the position Labor took to the electorate at the last election.

IOW = in other words

OH, lol = laughing out loud

Do you get the idea? - nothing sinister at all

LOL - does Gillard ever actually answer am awkward question without skirting around it? I don't think we will ever get such answers from this lot.

John Howard used to ignore the question altogether and give an answer to his own question.

I did a course some years back where an experienced media professional taught us just that, ignore the sticky question and get your one liner in for the message you want to get out.

Julia is not as bad as Johnny was IMHO

 

[Tink]

Yep have to agree there explod, Howard annoyed me at the end, just ignoring questions and going off in his own direction, with Bush

I think Gillard is on the same par at the moment, if an election came, she would be out.

That's a straw man argument. Bolt never claimed to be a climate scientist. Nor did the peer review process work too well for the IPCC. Didn't pick up the hockey stick graph howler either.

 

[sptrawler]

Wouldn't it be a laugh if Clive Palmer is correct and the carbon tax is unconstitutional. Wouldn't be the first time this government hasn't checked the legality of what it is doing.

Talk about egg on your face, it would show them to be the goons they are.IMO

I think the train left the station on that one a long time ago

 

[sptrawler]

Well it didn't take Bob Carr long to get a dose of the labor foot in mouth desease.
Plenty of room in the goon show for another one.LOL

Yes the RED team are fantastic at managing the Australian economy.

The RED team treasurer must be very proud.

And what is there to show for all this spending?

I believe that Qld is now something like $85 billion which equates to about $1 billion per electorate...
