via email: Statement by Viv Forbes, Chairman, The Carbon Sense Coalition
Today, 27th October 2010, is Climate Fools Day.
For the last 20 years politicians, jets setting bureaucrats and vested interests have been plotting how to make Climate Fools of the western world, taxing industry and consumers to fund green schemes, carbon speculators and international wealth redistribution.
The fightback by sceptical scientists and public was greatly boosted on the first Climate Fools Day when, in October 2008, British politicians passed with little dissent “The Climate Change Bill” a piece of legislation that future generations will come to accept was “the most absurd Bill that this Parliament has ever had to examine”.
Since then, sceptics all over the world have exposed the lack of evidence, the manipulation of data, the misuse of scientific process, the corruption of vested interests and the powerful influence of natural factors in climate cycles.
Despite the now discredited projections of dangerous global warming, the globe itself has continued its normal weather defining cycles such as El Nino, La Nina, the Pacific Oscillations, the powerful solar cycles and the massive ebb and flow of oceans and atmosphere. On a longer time scale there is no evidence that the globe’s long history of recurrent ice ages and violent episodes of volcanic and earthquake activity have suddenly ceased.
Unfortunately, a whole generation of Climate Fools will have to be rooted out of our parliaments before Climate Sense reigns again. We will then see the massive flood of community resources currently being wasted on windmills, solar toys, alarmist junkets, silly subsidies and climate bureaucracy will be more sensibly directed towards preparation for coping with the real natural cycles of heat and cold, floods and droughts, cyclones and earthquakes, vulcanism and ice ages. We will then regret the destruction of industry and wastage of real energy opportunities now taking place.
Climate Fools Day will be celebrated today by organised meetings of sceptics in Westminster and Brisbane.
Brisbane: King George Square 12 noon. More info contact Malcolm Roberts: 0419 642 379

Could we get a graph of SA temps for last years country by country?

I received this email from Australia re: Al Gore = the madness continues:
G’day All
I find it very disturbing to read today that AL Gore’s Science Fiction Movie is to be included in Australian Schools Curricula. I sure that you will remember that the British High Court ruled that it was Alarmist and contained nine significant errors. Mr Justice Burton……said that some of the claims were wrong and had arisen in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration”. Quotes from The Times which goes on to detail errors.
Today we read in the MSM that it is going to be included in the curricula of schools around the country. The reports include:
The Herald-Sun (letters hsletters@heraldsun.com.au)
Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth included in school curriculum
There is an on-line poll on that Herald-Sun Page.
The Daily Telegraph (Letters letters@dailytelegraph.com.au )
Climate change film An Inconvenient Truth for Australian schools
I suggest that we all write to the newspapers, but I also suggest that we contact MPs (at least your own local MP) and Senators. Lists attached.
How dare they!

And let’s watch this warmist site temove this graph in the coming weeks haha

Hasn’t anyone noticed? the royal a## is falling off mean UAH 600mb temperatures! (BTW look at sea surface temps!)
Well I’m pleased to say this is no Climate Fools joke down under as the politicians finally awake to the true costs of ‘reshiftable energy’-

Hmmmm, I wish I could be there, but the roads are icy and I still don’t have an adequate supply of firewood for the winter laid in…
Cheers
I love it! Great idea.
I’ve been looking for a suitable event to mark down on the calendar for that day.
Hmm, I’d love to attend, sadly, I’m an ocean and half a continent away! In the spirit of liberalism, couldn’t we be more inclusive next year? Perhaps let some common folk in the U.S. and Canada know about the fun? And what of our friends Down Under and N.Z.? Where’s the sense of fair play?
Good on you for being the first! We should have one in every country across the globe!
I think this falls under the main topic. Dangerous times for Australian schools.

“It is not a required text but will be used by English teachers to “analyse the way language and emotion can be used to convince viewers of a particular position”, the spokesman said.”
Sounds like brain washing to me.
Ted Gray – I suggest you will need to initiate legal action in Oz, as in the UK.
All the best.

26 Oct: Marketwatch: Former Vice President Al Gore Hosts Time Warner Cable’s Global Online Town Hall on Student Attitudes toward Math and Science Education
This unique event is part of Connect a Million Minds (CAMM), TWC’s philanthropic commitment to connect youth to ideas, people and opportunities that will inspire them to pursue education and careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)…
“In today’s increasingly global economy, America cannot afford to continue to fall behind the world in the very subjects that are going to drive economic growth and development in the coming decades,” said Gore, who is appearing courtesy of Current TV, where he serves as Chairman. “By creating a dialogue that includes not only experts on the subject matter, but the kids who are ultimately affected by this issue, Time Warner Cable’s Global Online Town Hall is likely to provide tremendous insights into the issue and provide a jumping off point for action.” …
About Connect a Million Minds
Time Warner Cable’s (TWC) Connect a Million Minds (CAMM) is a five-year, $100 million philanthropic initiative to address America’s declining proficiency in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), which puts our children at risk of not competing successfully in a global economy…
TWC’s national CAMM partners are CSAS (Coalition for Science After School) and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Local TWC markets are activating CAMM across the country with community-specific programs and partnerships.

One of the constant refrains of the Warmists is the question: “What would it take to make you believe in AGW?”.
I would like to ask them: “What kind of weather is there that is not attributable to global warming?”
I find that the Warmists are now avoiding discussion with me. Very interesting.
Fear is in the air.
These people have made fools of themselves.
In the meantime we’ve had just about the nicest Labour weekend weather I can ever remember in New Zealand – beautiful warm sunny days – not too hot – just a hint of a breeze. Fantastic!
“It is not a required text but will be used by English teachers to “analyse the way language and emotion can be used to convince viewers of a particular position”, the spokesman said.”
That sounds like a step in the right direction to me.
And here in Queensland every state school has been encouraged to send out this newsletter item this week…
One million women wanted to help fight climate change
Mothers, daughters, sisters and grandmothers are encouraged to do their bit to fight climate change by joining the 1 Million Women campaign.
The campaign hopes to inspire one million women to commit to reducing their personal carbon emissions by one tonne in a year, just by making some small lifestyle changes.
Pledge online at http://www.1millionwomen.com.au to find a number of activities to cut your carbon footprint when you’re at home, shopping, eating or travelling.
There are more than 50 carbon-saving activities to choose from.
For example, did you realise that by simply cutting out one red meat meal a week you can save almost 195kg of carbon dioxide (C02), the main greenhouse gas pollutant, and almost 10 000 litres of water in a year?
Join the thousands of Australian women already making a difference and register today.

And Queensland is Australia’s biggest range-fed beef producer! They take us all for fools.

“The Climate Change Bill” a piece of legislation that future generations will come to accept was “the most absurd Bill that this Parliament has ever had to examine”.
Even as the earliest winter snow for 80 years fell outside the building….
The turning point.

Maybe however, if you look at the poll results, ~1300 pollies, it’s almost neck and neck and neck yes/no vote to be used in schools. This suggests, at least those who responded, are still “towing the party line and propaganda” about “climate change”. It’s not a ssurprise given the fact that there is no balanced coverage in Australia.
…British politicians passed with little dissent “The Climate Change Bill” a piece of legislation that future generations will come to accept was “the most absurd Bill that this Parliament has ever had to examine”.
They examined it before they voted for it? All those non-scientific, gravy-train riding, wannabe seen saving the planet intellectual pygmies inhabiting Westminster actually examined the bill before plunging an entire nation into taxation hell? They actually read the Bill before voting to turn off the lights when many of our existing power stations are forced to go offline without sensible replacements in the desperately near future?
That’s news to me…
Anthony (and moderation team), I found this story over on JoNova’s blog and felt it warranted your attention.
http://omniclimate.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/help-save-five-hundred-years-of-weather-observations/
“The historical meteorological observatory of the Collegio Romano, in operation for 228 years, has been told to vacate its premises occupied from 1879. To this moment, nobody knows where it will be moved to, and worse, nobody knows what will be the future location of its Library, immense historical Archives and collection of old instruments, a priceless heritage cared for during more than two centuries by many great people with lots of passion.”
There is a petition started and I’ve already added my name to try and prevent this from happening. From everything I’ve learned I feel the value of an archive like this cannot be over stated.
You can tell it’s an election year (Hear in NSW, Australia).

Strange site. 29,600+ women signed up. Australians are so blinded to the truth. I wonder if they’ve seen Franny Armstrong’s edgy 10:10 No Pressure campaign “video”?
In the UK we have just had a week of unprecedented early frosts, with the night of 24th October being flagged as the coldest October day on record. Does this mean that global warming is happening far more quickly than we thought!!
