"Minister, how many more years of no-warming will it take before you accept that the global warming theory on which you’ve based your huge carbon cutting scheme is actually wrong?"

I’m afraid that [Australian Climate Change Minister Penny] Wong did not answer my question. Then again, she did not question the premise, either. Instead she said she had to go with the “consensus” science, and talked about record low inflows into the Murray and into city dams, as if a drought in one part of Australia was proof that the whole world was warming, and, furthermore, man was to blame.

There was no chance for a follow-up question, and Wong - personally a very nice person - may have got away with that filibustering and sleight of hand with many of the more gullible in the audience. But I suspect this is the question that will start to haunt her, because the facts - and an honest answer - are so deadly to her cause.
