After being indoctrinated that “global warming” means permanent drought, rain makes Australians skeptikal | JunkScience.com

Warmies never learn. They seize on inconvenient/unpleasant weather and claim [whatever today's preferred term is] will make it permanent/worse. Then, when their predictions fail spectacularly, which they always do, it’s because people expect the wrong thing. Flimflam Flannery claimed several of Australia’s major cities would be out of water and abandoned years ago due to climate change (we were experiencing periodical drought at the time) – then Brisbane (one of the soon to be out of water cities) flooded spectacularly and the other states’ dams filled too.

In the US, where the powerful farmers’ lobby was insistent that nothing should be done to change a subsidy system which, according to the FAO, could soon see nearly a third of US farmland diverted to biofuels, it seemed the ‘crime against humanity’ was equally set to continue.

That seems to be the apologists’ line, at least. There’s also an attempt to portray equivalence between fraud, identity theft and fabrication with the release of the FOIA emails.

Could the FOIA documents have been stolen?

Only FOIA knows. The documents appear to have been assembled in response to FOIA requests and may have been left on a public server. By their own admission the authors of those communications are not IT geniuses, one can’t even calculate a trend using a spreadsheet found on a significant proportion of computers on the planet.
