Australia is just pipped by the Poms in the Sceptic's Cup - a competition
attracting more fans by the day:
"Britain is less concerned about climate change than any other country in
the world, according to a new survey. The annual Climate Confidence Monitor
found the number of people worrying about global warming worldwide has
fallen by eight per cent to just over a third in the last year as the
economic downturn kicked in. Just fifteen per cent of people in Britain
worry about climate change and how the world responds to the problem, the
lowest figure for any of the 12 countries surveyed. The figure is down from
26 per cent last year."
But never mind.
We take out the Most Improved Player Award:
"Concern in Australia dropped in the past year by 14 per cent - the largest
drop among the developed nations surveyed. "
The air is going out of the global warming balloon.

"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."
