Michael Short, business editor of The Age, continues his assault on the
warming evangelicals running the rest of his paper by publishing yet
another article (this one by Professor Geoffrey Kearsley) finally
telling Age readers the truth about global warming - that it stopped a
decade ago:
There is much more yet to learn. My point is this: It may well be that
human activity is indeed changing the climate, at least in part, but
there is an increasing body of science that says that the sun may have a
greater role.
If it does have, then global warming is likely to stop, as it appears to
have done since 1998, and if the current sunspot cycle fails to ignite,
then cooling, possibly rapid and severe cooling, may eventuate. The next
five years will tell us a great deal. In these circumstances, we should
wait and see.
Short's campaign could prove critical to Kevin Rudd's future. Age
readers are unlikely to have ever heard this heresy before, and will now
be told it's OK to doubt. What's more, Short is clearly showing the
Fairfax bosses what a real editor committed to restoring The Age's
long-dead reputation for open debate would look like. He has put himself
in the running to take over from editor Andrew Jaspan, a global warming
fanatic who has tried ins tead to suppress debate and has just fired the
only conservative columnist (contributer Jon Roskam) on the grounds that
he's too well exposed. If Short replaces Jaspan and takes The Age off
the global warming bandwagon, already being quietly deserted by The
Australian, Rudd's hopes of marginalising sceptical scientists and
inconvenient truths will be destroyed. The ABC can't sell Rudd's
religion by itself.
But you see, of course, one last hurdle. The Liberals still do not have
the courage of their lack of conviction in man-made global warming. Too
scared by the media, they are going along with Rudd's insane emissions
trading scheme and the global warming bandwagon. They are refusing to
attack Rudd on his weakest spot. They will thus share with him the
dishonor of having being conned by bad science and salvation-seekers.
They will never be able to say: We warned you. We were right, and Labor
once more wrong.
In short, they lack the courage of Michael Short. And they fail to heed
this warning in Kearsley's article, which I repeat:
The next five years will tell us a great deal. In these circumstances,
we should wait and see.
Liberal MPs: There has been no warming for a decade. Dare to doubt the
theory. Dare to wait and weigh the fresh science. Do not let Rudd drag
you off the cliff with him.

warm over the next 50 to 100 years, but why has it warmed so little
during the major carbon dioxide buildup?" Patrick J. Michaels,
