India: "no binding commitment to reduce emissions" | Australian Climate Madness

So far from being a bold agreement to “save the planet”, Durban is a watered-down compromise which will see emissions continue to rise for the foreseeable future, and which will ensure that Australia’s tiny 5% cut by 2020 will be well and truly lost in the noise.

Australia’s unilateral action is pointless and damaging, will send our industries offshore and, thanks to rapidly spiralling energy costs, will consign many to poverty. And by the way, it won’t save the planet either.

Blast Deniers into space eh? « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax

Frustrated cult members know they can’t explain their faith to the rational.

They bombarded us with glossy brochures, with full feature documentaries, and awarded people on their team with Nobels for nothing. They spend billions of dollars of our government funds and investment monies, and, once upon a time, the full support of the EU, UK, US, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand governments, all the major financial houses of the world, and of course the supertanker of governments – the UN. They had 70% of the Western population convinced and a $144 billion dollar global trading scheme with all the patrons that engenders.

So now that it’s all going to rot and ruin, they have no ammo left. Their arsenal is reduced to namecalling and jokes that reveal the Christmas wish-list of the inner totalitarian.

Those with billions of dollars attack the mostly unpaid volunteers who are beating them. It’s emblematic that in this meeting of the “ruling class” where the joke is funny, the only people not represented in the audience of politicians and businessmen are the taxpaying citizens

Pachauri openly defends killing skeptics

When leaders are unable to deal with reality, they just get the critics sent somewhere else. 500 years ago, the Inquisition would do that burning the infidels at the stake. Some decades ago, Hitler was sending the Jews to concentration camps. This week, Pachauri has gotten to the next level: send the climate skeptics to outer space!
