How much of our wealth is Rudd signing away? | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
Kevin Rudd may be promising what he’ll never be able to deliver - not without losing the next election
Creating warming from cold Australian stats | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
After looking at long-term weather stations (in Qld, NSW, Vic), and comparing 1914 temperatures against 2008, about 75% of the stations were warmer in 1914.
[Nice straw man]: NWF scientist responds to Swifthack « Climate Progress
Global warming deniers have been feverishly pushing emails stolen by hackers from the accounts of climate scientists. Their argument? If any climate scientist ever discussed the best way to sort through mountains of climate data, then global warming isn’t happening.
Climategate: another smoking gun… – Telegraph Blogs
What he can’t fathom at all, though, is the mind-boggling scale of these adjustments. They can only be explained in terms of scientists with a very particular agenda.
...
Do read the full piece. Its wonderfully revealing of the dirty tricks used by the scientists pushing AGW to exaggerate their case. And what’s particularly damning is that it shows how the Climategate scandal extends far, far beyond those so far implicated at the Climatic Research Institute at the University of East Anglia.
Climategate: CNN now gives sceptics a platform | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

UPDATE. The Great Santina reports from deep green North Fitzroy that someone has stencilled “Google Climategate” on the footpath outside her local commie-swamped market. “This is happening in the middle of the chardonnay socialist domain,” emails Santina. “We are making headway.” A leftoid friend’s North Fitzroy house was sprayed with anti-war slogans when the Gulf War was underway in 1990. She was fine with it. I wonder how residents will cope with anti-warm slogans.

[But she's not even a climatologist!] | Katie Couric: melting ice caps are worth more than 1,000 emails [video]
In her Notebook on Copenhagen, CBS anchor Katie Couric makes a very strong case for why the hacked emails do not undermine the scientific realities of climate science:

"A picture is worth 1,000 emails and pictures of the polar ice caps [both of them?] show a 20% decrease since 1979. NASA images show a thinning of more than 7 inches [how was this measured?] a year since 2004. What the scientists did was wrong, but most experts agree that the science itself is not and the health of the earth should not be a political issue."
