More evidence that the CSIRO is just wrong on global warming | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
And it’s also clear that the CSIRO has been highly selective in presenting evidence to whip up warmist fears, even endorsing Al Gore’s error-riddled An Inconveniet Truth, claiming ”its scientific basis is very sound”.

I suspect the CSIRO is an organisation that has committed itself too early to warming alarmism, relying on clearly flawed models, and is unable to concede that error, for either professional or political purposes.
Shoe leather and welcome worn out | The Australian
THE initial political sales pitch for the detailed carbon tax with all its $15 billion in compensation and tax cuts has failed.

The grand plan, the great expectations and Julia Gillard's four-week election-style campaign has not just stalled at the beginning but is actually going backwards. She is being assailed by members of the public, has been left without a full complement of supportive ministers and is falling further in public esteem.

There are clear signs the public so far has not changed its mind after having a closer look at the compensation and is not listening to Gillard's sales pitch. There is still a long time to go before the scheduled election in August 2013 but Labor couldn't have had a worse or more disappointing start.

Romney Plays to His Denialist Base: “I Don’t Think Carbon Is a Pollutant” | The Intersection | Discover Magazine
The key statement: “I don’t think carbon is a pollutant in the sense of harming our bodies.”

My favorite comeback to the “not a pollutant” argument is from Steven Chu: “water is generally very good, water in great deluges is not good.” It doesn’t matter what you call it.
