The Climate Skeptics Party launch 4 television ads in Australia

Sounds here like the UK needs another round of pirate broadcasting. Anybody here remember the offshore pirate radio vessels of the 60s which dragged the BBC, kicking and screaming, into the age of rock and roll? How about using the same tactic to drag it out of mindless support of AGW?
Oh well, probably get sunk by the EU Navy. Pirating ain’t what it was when the UK was a society of laws which guaranteed individual freedoms.

Oh yes.
‘Radio Caroline’
Loved it.

They think they are being conned, do they? It’s easy to think that if you’re not intelligent enough to understand science. The first ad simply presents yet again the extraordinarily stupid idea that the last ten years is all we need to look at. They are conning themselves.

All you need to do is put the question in the mind of the viewers, they will then seek out the answers. Especially when their hip pocket is involved!

Loved it too, brings back memories of my 2yr stint in London, at the tail end of Pirate radio. Then the BBC came in with a limp copy after they were banned.
Wasn’t it “Radio Caroline 199” ?

Most folks here have seen charts beginning many thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago, so we fully understand where temp has risen and fallen.
Indeed, but none of that has anything to do with anthropogenic global warming. We weren’t capable of having any significant effect on the climate that long ago.
This campaign merely points out that the current trends are not up, but down.
And it’s clearly mistaken, as anyone can see – the current trend is a warming of around 0.2C per decade, and has been for several decades.

Thanks for the last link to the Alan Jones site. Alan Jones is a Sydney radio commentator and is syndicated across the eastern states and is politically very influential. Look at pages 2 and 3 for interviews with Andrew Bolt and Prof.Lindzen. Unfortunately Jones never shuts up long enough to let the good Prof. speak more than one sentence at a time but this exposure is good.
Our outspoken Senator Nick Minchen last night in parliament said that calling Carbon a pollutant was simply “insane”.
Things are moving rapidly down here, the heat wave must be raising our metabolism.

“Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years
…
Otherwise, however, not much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth’s average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.”
Clearly none of this is true –

Nothing in the last ten years looks like any change at all from the warming trend of around 0.2C per decade. Just look at the data.
Now, perhaps in 10 years’ time, if we haven’t seen any new record high global average temperatures, you could legitimately claim that there has been a significant change to the warming trend, but right now there is no difference at all between the last ten years and any other ten year period you care to choose in the last several decades. There is just the normal interannual variation superimposed on the warming trend.

Thanks Anthony for posting our ads and all the comments everyone has made. This campaign has been made on a shoestring and fresh air. I accept some of you are not happy about ad 4 but think about it. In the mainstream media how many people have been exposed to even 1 sceptical paper. We took the risk of showing this paper because to our knowledge it has not been successfully rebutted.
In a day and age when every second news story is about another scientific report that agrees with AGW we just had no choice but to be controversial and lead with our chin.
With more money and resources we can make a big difference in Australia. Already today the winds of change are blowing through the Coalition and Malcolm Turnbulls leadership is in it’s deaththroes. It is to the Climate Sceptics credit that all the lobbying and conversations we have had with many Liberal and National politicians is bearing fruit.
It’s time all of us stood up and said to our Governments no more. The con is over.

MikeP (11:03:05): Icarus is a little loose with his certainties, as I’m sure you must have noticed. He also thinks that it is readily apparent that the atmosphere warms the ocean.
If you have an Earth which is in equilibrium, and you heat up the atmosphere, some of that heat *has* to go into the oceans. SLoT and all that. Agreed? To suggest otherwise would be to deny the laws of physics.
