I'm guessing this is why Tony Abbott was pushed out of leadership?

I've a few friends out there who are not impressed with the way he was treated and the general mistrust of government seems to have increased hell of a lot.

Abbott was pushed out because he was completely out of his depth, and had become a total laughing stock. He was basically the George W. Bush of Australia.

Shame that, because he was spot on with global warming.

really?

using the benchmark from the snake that he replaced, he was a rocket scientist!

He may have come across as a dinosaur, but essentially, he was on the right track, just not the best political animal.

Playing the political game seems more important than actually doing the right thing out there.

He probably has to say the "right" things from time to time.

It is quite possible that she is slightly more off the wall than many of the more off the wall eco warriors in the wild.

From the article above:

"While she used it to agree with President Obama that income inequality is a bad thing, she also bemoaned the focus on wealth distribution at the expense of climate change and the future energy use of the planet, which she said are arguably more critical."

In order to get heavy shopping that won't fit on her bike she scabs lifts off friends. What a scaleable and repeatable model for grocery distribution! Cheap cow should a) get her own car and organise a rota for collecting each others' shopping or b) just get it delivered like sane people without cars do.

...and stopping 1000's of people drowning.

But I agree he was too direct to be a top politician. Obviously, Australians liked his direct nature, as they voted him in. They also didn't vote him out.

the governor of the bank of england ,deary me. is he really that gullible/stupid ? or just another lying sack of st parroting the meme ? i daresay a fair few of his mates will have profited handsomely from tax payer subsidies in the various greenwash industries, so maybe his position is not that surprising.

[wc98]

remember the recent story where twenty climate "scientists" wrote a letter to obama asking for climate sceptics to be prosecuted under rico laws ?
as always, follow the money. steve mcintyre is the wrong person to ps off. looks like the clown responsible will indeed be seeing prosecution under rico laws, just not the people he was expecting,absolute gold.

I have been reading about this during the last couple of days. it will be interesting if more comes of this, or, as I suspect will happen, it will be quietly swept under the carpet to keep the gravy train rolling for the rest of them.

His argument is so lightweight it's utterly obvious it's rubbish. He equated insurance payouts rising since 1980 to climate change despite the incidence of severe weather events not rising. Unsurprisingly no challenge to this false premise from the BBC troughers.
