@ Andrew Parker (08:32:00) :

…within the context of the socio-political dictum that the AGW crowd are foisting upon us. Intolerance must often be met with equal or greater intolerance.

I grew up taught that two wrongs don’t make a right. Also a good idea, still. This statement of yours is a recipe for truly uninformative debate.

Martin Brumby (03:29:02) :

Plimer gives an excellent account for himself.
His book “Heaven And Earth: Global Warming – The Missing Science” hasn’t been much commented on by WUWT. Strongly recommended.

I agree with you on this very fine book. He has an excellent section on what history teaches us about climate.

I’ve suggested Anthony have a book review section where we could comment on any books we’ve read. It would also be nice to have a FAQ section. Many times people will bring up topics discussed earlier. The FAQ could have links to the appropriate item of discussion.

This is still one of the best places to get really interesting discussions of climate issues. I feel a little frustrated at times because I can’t find a particularly good comment on a subject of interest.

Sorry for sarcasm, Rayat Ngo. (If you’re an actual person and not a robot.)

I’m trying to improve my internet manners, but often failing.

I’m so glad that the cyclone missed Mumbai. If it’s any help, you had a November cyclone in 1912, 1947, 1948, 1966…and you had three of them in November of 1946.

I hope it’s good new to you that, for the above very simple and obvious reasons, anthropogenic global warming is unlikely to be involved. This is the point I should have made without sarcasm.

People have short memories Robert, that’s how they’ve got away with it for so long.

“Why such storms? ”

You’re having storms in India?

weather office on Tuesday sounded a cyclone alert for the coastal regions of south Gujarat and north Maharashtra, where it is expected to make a landfall in the early hours of Thursday.
Weather scientists are tracking a deep depression formed in the Southeast and adjoining Central Arabian Sea, which is moving in the northwest direction and to hit south Gujarat.
“The system is likely to intensify further into a cyclonic storm and move in a northerly direction for some more time and then north-northeastwards and cross south Gujarat and north Maharashtra coast between Mahuva and Dahanu by early hours of November 12,” an alert issued by the India Meteorological Department said.

We got heaps of thorium laying around in Western Australia if you guys need some in the future. Heck we bury monazite all the time as part of the heavy mineral sands operations in the central west and south west. Got tonnes of it ready to go. Until recently it was against state government policy to mine uranium, but that lunacy was dropped when the Libs got control in the last election.

I am not sure that waxing lyrical about AGW types and drug-like addictions is helping this side of the debate… we don’t want to lower ourselves to the standard of Real Climate now do we?

Most people have already seen this, but it might be worth mentioning again, there is a very good debate with Dr. Christy on youtube.

all eight parts are worth the time if you can spare it.

Dr. Christy is facts, figures, and observation. All the other guy has is hot air.

@ Barry Foster

I still cannot understand. Why lie?

My thinking is that it is much easier to “herd” your sheeple if they are on foot instead of driving their own vehicles around.

Once they get rid of most of us old Baby Boomers who still remember the days of V-8s and hot rod music, perhaps they can finish changing the culture so we are not so enamored with having our own set of wheels.

Is anyone writing hit rock music about their “sweet ride”, the Prius?
