Whacko CSIRO Attempts Gag On One Of Their Own
.. and they have the gall to call themselves scientists!
The word "scientific" no longer belongs in their name and should be expunged
forthwith.
November 3 2009
Support dissent while it's still legal:
"A CSIRO economist whose research criticising emissions trading schemes was
banned from publication said last night he had been subjected to harassment
by the senior agency management. "
"Clive Spash ... was told in February he could publish the work if it were
peer reviewed. But in July, CSIRO management said it could not be published
after it was cleared for publication. This month, he was informed he could
not publish it even in his private capacity, because it was "politically
sensitive". Within 24 hours, he also received a letter outlining a list of
trivial instances in which he was accused of breaching CSIRO policy, for
example not completing a leave form properly. :
"The gagging of Dr Spash's work is embarrassing for Science Minister Kim
Carr, who defended academic freedoms in opposition and last year trumpeted a
new CSIRO charter he said would give scientists the right to speak publicly
about their findings. "
Yes, but that was before this growing scepticism about warming and the
Government's dodgy "fix".

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."

Seeing through hoax of the century
Janet Albrechtsen Blog | November 04, 2009
INCREASINGLY, the road to Copenhagen resembles a suburban street on
Halloween with the number of climate change freak shows and stunts
reaching a nadir in recent weeks.
Nicholas Stern says we should turn vegetarian in order to combat
climate change. If you must eat meat, eat kangaroos, says Ross
Garnaut, because marsupials emit negligible amounts of methane. And
that champagne you drank on Melbourne Cup day? Scientists scolded us
with a report that a 750ml bottle of bubbly could produce 100 million
bubbles, releasing five litres of carbon dioxide.
Yet far from rallying people to the cause of immediate action on
climate change, every new cri de coeur may be turning people away.
Could it be that those derided as the great unwashed are beginning to
ask more questions than their smart political leaders or the bastions
of intellectual curiosity in the media?
Late last month, activists gathered at Sydney Opera House to listen to
Sydney mayor Clover Moore announce that “the time for talk is past”.
“Already we know that this building, our Opera House, for decades a
symbol of optimism and the human spirit, is under threat from global
warming,” she says.
The Opera House under threat? That would be from rising sea levels,
right? Just like the small island nation of Maldives where, last
month, the president conducted a cabinet meeting underwater to remind
the world that his country would be rendered uninhabitable by rising
sea levels. Kitted out in full scuba-diving outfits, Mohamed Nasheed
and his ministers sat at a table underwater off the coast of the
capital of Male.
As planned, the president’s stunt made headlines across the globe.
Send us money - and lots of it - is his message. The media love
stunts. They are so easy to report.
Sadly, the media is not inquisitive enough to report those who
question the circus acts of climate change. A week after the Maldives
underwater show, Nils-Axel Morner - a leading world authority on sea
levels - wrote an open letter to the president telling him that his
stunt was “not founded in observational facts and true scientific
judgments”.
Morner is a former professor who headed the department of
paleogeophysics and geodynamics at Stockholm University and past
president (1999-2003) of the International Union for Quaternary
Research commission on sea level changes and coastal evolution. INQUA
was founded in 1928 by scientists who aimed to improve the
understanding of environmental change during the glacial ages through
interdisciplinary research. In other words, the Swedish professor has
gravitas when it comes to sea levels.
Alas his letter did not make headlines. That is a shame. Morner says
there is “no rational basis” for the hysterical claims that the people
of Maldives - or the rest of the world - are threatened by rising sea
levels. And he sets out some facts.
Fact number 1: During the past 2000 years, sea levels have fluctuated
with 5 peaks reaching 0.6m to 1.2m above present sea level.
Fact number 2: From 1790 to 1970 sea levels were about 20cm higher
than today.
Fact number 3: In the 1970s, the sea level fell by about 20cm to its
present level.
Fact number 4: Sea levels have remained constant for the past 30 years
“implying that there are no traces of any alarming ongoing sea level
rise”.
Fact number 5 (and I am paraphrasing here): The notion presented by
the President of the Maldives that his country will be flooded is
bunkum.
Yet, last week a federal parliamentary report told Australians to make
plans to evacuate if we live on the coast. Warning that the “time to
act is now”, the bipartisan report said the 711,000 addresses within
3km of the Australian coast - and less than 6m above sea level - face
threats from rising sea levels. The report called for an inquiry by
the Productivity Commission to examine the need for bans on homes
within these areas.
Viewers of the 7pm News on ABC1 were told by a Richard Branson
lookalike - complete with longish wavy grey hair, beard and crisp
white shirt - that the township of Byron Bay would be completely
flooded by rising sea levels. His expertise? He is a resident of Byron
Bay.
Despite the headline grabbing rhetoric about climate change calamity,
recent polls reveal that more and more people appear to be challenging
the orthodoxy. The most recent Lowy Institute poll found that while 48
per cent of Australian believe that global warming is a serious and
pressing problem, the numbers are down 12 points since 2008 and 20
points down since 2006. “This is also the first year that it has not
had majority support,” said the Lowy Institute.
A poll by Ipso Reid in Canada in September found that global warming
has dropped down the list of people’s concerns. Indeed, a full 41 per
cent now say the threat has been overblown. In the US, Associated
Press reported on a poll last month that found 57 per cent of people
believe there is clear evidence that the world is heating up, down 20
points from three years ago. These are some trend lines worth
watching.
Perhaps we are wising up to modern day millenarianism where end-of-the-
world cults - those who have the most to gain from their fear
mongering - preach calamity. Remember Y2K? The cult back then
comprised computer experts. They predicted disaster. Planes would fall
from the skies. People would be caught in halting elevators. Chaos
would descend on anything that relied on a computer, from financial
markets to utilities. Governments duly prepared for disaster with the
BBC reporting that global preparations for the millennium bug were
estimated to have cost more than $US300 billion. All for nought.
Nothing happened. It was, as James Taranto wrote in The Wall Street
Journal, the hoax of the century.
Maurice Newman, who was chairman of the federal government’s Y2K
committee told The Australian last week that “in pressing the urgency
for compliance, the committee members relied heavily on confirmatory
bias. Most of this came from so-called experts who had much to gain
from creating a sense of alarm. The consequence of widespread inaction
was claimed to result in chaos and systemic failure. As there was no
alternative authoritative voice, this became perceived wisdom and was
certainly believed by the committee. As such the Y2K phenomenon took
on a life of its own.”
Deja vu? Preparing for the deluge of rising sea levels, we were
treated to footage last week from parliamentary question time starring
Julia Gillard and her gumboots. Appropriately she was followed on ABC1
by Bananas in Pyjamas. Could man-made climate change turn out to be
the greatest hoax of the present century?
Certainly, ordinary people are beginning to ask questions. |

Indeed mate , taaxing carbon will not stop global warming , it will[/quote]
only make money for those who OWN the right to emit carbon ,and THEY
will sell the right every year to the highest bidder
Inventing an entire new industry
Those who OWN the RIGHTS to emit carbon will RULE THE WORLD in a few
decades
exactly like " salt tax "
EXACTLY like water trading wont save the river murray
carbon trading wont save the world from globalwarming
[quote]Send us money.
Who stands to make the most money out of AGW.
[/quote]
Its REAL easy to work ourt WHI will make themoney mate
We ALL know WHO will soon OWN the rights to emitt carbon
The JEWS are EXPERTS at controlling the carbon trading markets world
wide
They have cornered the carbon market for centuries
Diamonds are pure carbon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond
the JEWS will corner the entire market
Probably EXACTLY the same people will use EXACTLY the same offices and
modus operandi to trade CO2 as they use to control the sold carbon
trading
[quote]
How long before every pacific island nation suddenly discovers that
their country is in danger from rising sea levels and wants lots of
money to fix it.
Then there slow lying countries like Sri Lanka , Bangladesh.
Lots of money will be needed here.

carbon tax wont stop sea level rise
only adding iron to the ocean can CURE global warming
Its increased irrigation that stops iron fertilization of the oceans
that caused global warming , and adding iron even used tin cans that
can CURE global warming
Once the jews have their carbon tax in place , they will discover
adding tin cans to the oceans will cure global warming , but the jews
will NEVER give up their RIGHT to tax carbon , once they OWN it
no mate, the poor wont see a cent
carbon trading is simply a reincarnation of the " Salt Tax "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_British_salt_tax_in_India
[quote]
Sounds a bit like the Nigerian Bank Scam , just with a slightly
differant story and UN approval.
[/quote]
and the police and armies to ENFORCE compliance at taxpayers expense
[quote]
How about this.
How many extra UN bureaucrats will need to be employed around the wold
to verify every countries CO2 emissions so as to ensure they are
complying with UN targets.
Lots of money needed here.
The toothfairy is going to be very busy.
[/quote]
the sheeple are too silly to even notice it mate
we can only TRY and warn them
sadly the jews will get their carbon tax
We will need have WW4 to free the sheeple once they eventually wake up
and the jewish strangle hold of the world economy will AGAIN need to
be removed at great cost
several billion sheeple will die before we see the end of carbon tax
We must still TRY
Future generations MUST know somebody TRIED to save the world from
carbon tax , that will KILL far more people than global warming ever
could
we MUST try and save the planet as we only have a few weeks until the
jews take over in copenhagen , after that it will be too late
