This film, being shown all throughout Australia, and now available here at WUWT shows what the Gillard government is doing to prepare for the worst unstoppable effects of climate change. It’s quite something. RealClimate has declined comment.
Happy Friday Funny everyone! That’s the best laugh I’ve had since Elmer’s M4GW original “hide the decline” video.

‘CRACK IN THE WORLD’!!!!!!!
I love the draw from When Worlds Collide, which points out the difference between science fiction and this “We’re All Gonna Die!” government crap.
Which is that science fiction – as a genre of literature – is written chiefly to appeal to a technologically literate and reasonably well-educated consumer base, and has got to make sense.
La Gifford and her co-conspirators, though…..
Well, not one teensy little bit.
“When Worlds Collide”! Boy, that takes me back. Decent sci fi flick for its time.
Yes, it could happen, except that ship everyone’s fighting to board is actually headed for China. I wonder what their policy is on illegal immigrants?
Thanks for the chuckle, Anthony.
Ozzies.They’re a weird mob.
What the hell is Climate Disruption?
You see, the climate of the Earth, if left to its own devices, is perfectly stable and never changes. There is never any variation whatsoever. So if the climate shows a period of warming or cooling on a decadal scale, then we must have caused it. If the climate is warming, it is because we are burning coal and creating CO2 but if it is cooling, it is because we are burning coal and creating aerosols. Any variation from a model developed in a Columbia University lab is caused by us. This model is certified perfect in every way. It is so perfect that we have no problem spending billions of dollars in ways to minimize this “disruption” of the climate away from the perfect model temperature.
There is no natural climate variability. All variability is caused by human beings because the Earth’s climate is exactly perfectly stable and never varies (ever). If you don’t believe me, just ask a prominent climate scientist how much natural variation is “normal” on a decadal scale. You will get a response pretty much the same as if you were a man from Mars who suddenly appeared on Earth.
Climate disruption is any change from perfectly stable climate that we must be responsible for. In fact, maybe the simple act of having thermometers makes the climate vary. Before thermometers we didn’t have nearly as much worry about the variation of the climate. Yes, that’s it! There is something in thermometers that drives the climate crazy. That is why there has been a move to reduce the number of stations observing the climate.
Next we will go into how cheese causes earthquakes unless moderated by fish molecules of certain types.
Thank goodness I left Orstraya last year. Anything to get a way from the big polluders
Good on ya. Don’t burn that evil coal in Australia where it will create jobs and wealth for the average person in Australia. Instead tax the average Australian to pay the cost of shipping the coal to China, where it can create jobs and wealth for the average Chinese.
If a few Australians that own the mineral rights get filthy rich as a result, well they will just have to live with the burden. Some well placed political contributions and plum patronage jobs to loyal politicians will no doubt ease their heavy load. The hard work and self-sacrifice of the rest of Australia will no doubt be good for the average Australian and build character. They would only waste the money otherwise on drink.
Idiocracy the movie deja vu all over again
Wow, that is so funny! Thanks. I also really enjoyed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGHiJF4TWw8
That’s as funny as a 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe reserve note! We can really, really fight climate disruption when we start printing ours.
Thanks Crosspatch! I don’t normally laugh out loud at 06:15.
I’ve passed this on. I remember the film I was a kid then and it was a good flick for its time. Aussies are organizing a convoy of no confidence in the present government. It’s coming from all over Australia to arrive in Canberra on 21st July (I think) more info on Jo Nova site. Retrovirus
calamity. Coming from an open gay politician I think that’s a bit un-smart.
Tim Flannery, the Gillard government’s Chief Climate Commissioner, has predicting AGW would cause massive flooding. Could it be to drive down waterfront real-estate prices in Oz for personal gain?
“Professional alarmist Tim Flannery in 1996 warned that global warming would drown beachfront houses eight storeys high … But the very next year he bought a house just four or five metres from the edge of the tidal waters around the Hawkesbury estuary:.. Five years later—even as climate scientists, including Professor Flannery, claimed evidence of global warming and rising sea levels was even more solid—the couple bought the property next door…”

That pretty much sums up the case for AGW in Oz. Better sell good old Tim your beachfront property soon before it floods. It really isn’t worth anything. He will just be doing you a favor.
Don’t worry..Greenieman will save us, he and his faithful sidekick Gullibilelard. They won’t let the plastic bags and fried chicken and hot chips destroy us. We will throw away our evil air conditioners and monstrous automobiles. We will all eat a gray pasty substance made from recycled feces. Yes, our world will be saved from us, thanks to Greenieman and his trusty sidekick.
Bikini Bottom is also preparing for massive climate disruption.
How’s this for Ozzie weirdness Mike Smith !!!!!

” Something beautiful is unfolding. From all over Australia,people whose businesses and jobs are being driven into the ground by spectacular government mismanagement are gathering to drive from the corners of the continent to converge on Canberra to demand an election.”
I’m speechless!
Are Australians so dumb as to believe in 0.001% of what the film says?
Ecotretas @ur momisugly 10.53 pm. No we are not! Something like 80% of people in Oz don’t believe we should have a carbon tax. It was a skit! But that lady on last Mondays Q & A ABC repeated all the crap you see on this.
There was a B grade film produced in Australia titled ‘They’re a weird mob?’ Through the eyes of an Italian immigrant. I think it was made in the 1960s.
It gets funnier on repeat viewings. Shame Flannery wasn’t included.
I am Australian and couldn’t believe the video until I saw Andrew Bolt’s name – and then I completely understood.
One of the comments in video wasn’t even about climate change, but a reply to the claim by a right wing British journalist that those on the left were exploiting the shooting tragedy in Norway for political gain.
This shows just how low people like Bolt are prepared to go to smear the science of climate change.
Meanwhile, back in the real world.
The region where I live (wintertime) has been below average temperatures and above average rainfall because of La Nina. But temperatures over the past 10 consecutive days have been above 20 degrees C (68 F).
This equals the record for winter and if 20 C tomorrow a new all time record will be set. Today is 24 C (75 F) and it’s forecast to be 20 tomorrow.
I hoped the film would end with the alarmists getting on the space ship and giving the rest of us a break like the telephone sanitizers in ‘Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy’. Did I miss something?
Ocean assification. Priceless.
Brian says: “The region where I live (wintertime) has been below average temperatures and above average rainfall because of La Nina. But temperatures over the past 10 consecutive days have been above 20 degrees C (68 F)”
At last! We have a proxy for global temperature! No need for HADCRUT or GISTEMP or UAH, just a thermometer on Brian’s paved patio, near the A/C vent.
G’day! No, Aussies do not believe – that is why the Convoy of No Confidence in the Federal Government – Coalition of industries is happening.
The grass roots people have had enough!
