Climate change sceptic to speak at NFF congress - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
International and national experts from both sides of the climate change debate will also address the conference, including the controversial greenhouse sceptic Professor Ian Plimer, who challenges the theory of human-induced climate change.

To counter that view, CSIRO Dr Andrew Ash will tell farmers they need to act now to tackle climate change.
Democrat Thomas Fuller on the latest global warming propaganda from the Obama administration: "Global warming, hallelujah"
Far more interesting than the report itself are the comments submitted when it was in draft stage. The fact that the paper attracted 359 pages of comments, mostly harshly negative, and that the response of the report writers was so defensive ('We comply with all laws and regulations'?) should have warned us all. I highly recommend a quick flip through the comments to anyone who wonders if the debate on global warming is actually settled. It is obviously not.

It has already been compared to the works of Pravda by one scientist, so I won't pile on any more. But I will say that this report is worse than wrong--it is a mistake. At a time when an ambitious energy policy (which I support) and a controversial funding mechanism (which I support) called cap and trade is before Congress, it will not help the Administration's cause to have a report that is so easily discredited and so thoroughly biased.
