The Royal Society Takes Another Step Away from Science » Climate Resistance

There are perfectly good arguments for equality, for access to contraception, and for many other things which offer the possibility — albeit contested — of improving the lives of humans. But not in this report. Not in Vidal’s articles in the Guardian. And not from Oxfam, either. None of these organisations and individuals can make an argument for anything progressive while they pretend that it is ‘science’ which is speaking, and not them. Science has nothing to say about the rights and wrongs of inequality, the rights of women, and the material entitlements of people. And only a fool could think that science could make such an argument. The plight of poor people, and people who live without the freedom to determine their own future are not the concern of people who hide their politics behind ‘science’. In their narrative, the Royal Society make instrumental use of the poor, to make a political argument for their own ends. Just as Malthus did.

Why not a single sceptical scientist on the ABC? | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Odd. Not one of the panel is a climate scientist. The only scientist on the panel has degrees only on economic geology, only distantly related to climate science. That one scientist represents a warmist organisation with a poor record in predictions and alarmism. Not one of the many sceptical scientists in the world has been included. Of the six people on the panel, including warmist host Tony Jones, just two are sceptics.

Does this sound rigged to you?

It’s not as if you can’t actually fill a studio with sceptical scientists in Australia, even if the result is a refusal to warmists to come debate them

Errors in IPCC climate science » Blog Archive » Coldest ANZAC Day in Canberra for 60 years

13.6 degrees C on 25 April 2012 – 1952 was 13.3, 1939 – 13.2 and 1944 – 11.6.

And this is in the face of constant growth of the Canberra urban heat island (UHI). No doubt this is what we can expect from global warming. Camooweal in NW Queensland is also having chilly times – is anybody aware of other record cold sites ?

Australia grows citrus in Pakistan

Australian citrus growers are taking part in an experiment that is set to demonstrate the potential impact of climate change on their industry.

They are cultivating the same varieties of citrus they grown at home in the extreme climate of Pakistan. In Pakistan, during the main growing season, the temperatures are over 40 degrees for three months and there is no access to reliable irrigation.
