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.

Ecotretas says (August 5, 2011 at 10:53 pm): “Are Australians so dumb as to believe in 0.001% of what the film says?”
Dunno, but check out Brian’s comment (August 5, 2011 at 11:28 pm) and draw your own conclusions.
Hey, Brian, thanks for the weather report from Down Under, and– Hmm? Kool-Aid? Why, yes, thank you, I am a bit thirsty…
@Brian
Fact check: the British journalist you are referring to, Brendan O’Neill, is, in fact, a Marxist. I suppose a Marxist might be considered to be right wing in some alternative universe where the absurdities of Green policies could be considered as normal. Unfortunately, he committed the unpardonable sin of arguing for free speech. Ms manufactured outrage had made a statement along the lines that the Norwegian nutter did what he did because of hate speech from the people who dared to criticise something the Australian government did; and criticising the government is the same as inspiring nutters to kill people. Or something incoherent like that.

I’m Australian too and I think Brian might be onto something. I just rang our department of labor to inquire about working on the ark building project and was told no such thing was in progress. Also when Bob Brown mentioned chlamydia if I recall the interview correctly he wasn’t talking about climate change but was explaining the medical grounds for his recent absence. Could it be those shifty right wingers have pulled a fast one on us?
The books “When Worlds Collide” and “After Worlds Collide” were written in the 1933 and 1934 as racial/ social commentaries disguised as Science Fiction. This was pretty much the only way the authors (Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer) could explore the topic at the time. Still, the books were much better written than the movie, which deviated considerably from the story.
You are right Brian,they did quote her out of context,but she deserves the ridicule,she is a mouthpiece for Bob Brown.

During Monday night’s Q&A program, Ms Plibersek claimed – straight-faced amid a chorus of derision from the crowd – that inaction on climate change was “a serious threat to our economy and our environment”.
We’re looking at losing the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu National Park, the ability to feed ourselves,” she said.
It wasn’t Ms Plibersek’s first appearance on the ABC panel show. She’s a regular guest, having evolved into the Eddie “Everywhere” McGuire of the Gillard government’s push to explain its carbon message.
Brian I am Australian and I live in an area where today’s temp is 13 C and tonight will drop below
minus again. It’s got nothing to do with Andrew Bolt is fine anti-climate change TV and Radio journalist. And you have not mentioned the recent Q & A program on ABC 1st August, available for you to view, where Tanya Plibersek was spouting the climate change disaster old hat alarmist propaganda and featured on this clip. Bob Brown was referring to koala bears. I don’t know where the Norwegian massacre was at all mentioned. Put your glasses on mate! Or put them down?
The upside is that Australia can advertise itself to the world as: “The Gateway to Antarctica–New Frontier of the 21st Century.”
We have a carbon tax in the province of British Columbia Canada, hope the government idiots take notice of the Australian protest. Andrew Weaver and David Suzuki you guys may have to learn how to duck.
10 seconds in – I’m sure Gillard says “assification” instead of acidification… Just about sums up her ‘policies’ really…
Regress Australia, poor. So long and thanks for all the amusing beer and lager adverts.
Get a life Brian. And enjoy your government’s recent mail out brochure on a clean energy future. It might give you a better laugh.
Brian lives in the real world…no…he does….honestly.
Next door to Tim Flannery….On the Delta.
I think the only response to this is…
Brad at August 6th 1.08 am (American time) LOL. Donna yer know, last ice age, or mini ice age
Australia was a nicer place to live than Northern Europe, America and Asia. But all illegal immigrants are now being sent to Malaysia for assessment. Another ALP mistake.
Only joking mate. I would not wish this government on anyone. Particularly Australians. LOL
Thanks everyone for confirming my point.
John R Walker at 1.10 it’s her talk through the nose accent. She actually is Welsh by birth.
John of Cloverdale WA – Haven’t received mine yet. But I was told to return it ‘Paid replied’ so the government pays for the return mail. Unless it’s gone into the junk mail trash for recycling.
Brian, MMMaaaaaaaatttee, Take a Bex and have a good lie down. The video is taking the p&^s out of the scare campaiging that’s been goin’ on for the last 15 years.
If you think that has anyrhing to do with science, you need more then a Bex 🙂
For those not farmiliar with austraian medications, Bex was advertised to the point of making it into the Australian Venacular during the 50-60’s. Most ills could be treated with a Bex (Asprin) and a “good lie down”.
And if you want to learn about the science, you’ve come to the right place Brian.
Bolta will sort out the politics for you though.
A good laugh! Thanks.
Its very embarrassing being an Australian right now. I can laugh along with jokes about beer drinking Aussie stereotypes etc etc but now we look seriously nutty to the rest of the world. One guy I heard being interviewed on radio recently was being roundly praised because of his bold plan to relocate the entire population of the Gold Coast (about 1/2 million) inland in the case of flooding due to global warming. People like that once used to attract psychiatric assessments.
Can anyone out there please save us? We are about to pay for the privelege of burning our own coal through Carbon Credits and our Prime Minister is threatening the only news media who are disagree with her.
It used to be such a nice place.
In all their history? What? Just over 200 years of actual history…in the true meaning of the word.
Thanks for the laugh Anthony. Mind you, I wonder how many unthinking people will swallow it whole?

They missed this one from Ghostbusters:

Long long ago in old London Town everyone had a coal fire, even the trains ran on coal. In the winter you could see the smoke rise up from the chimneys. Some times an inversion layer formed. You could then see the smoke fall from the chimneys to the ground. This smoke would cause a smog that you could taste and traffic would come to a standstill. The brickwork of the buildings had a permanent black layer on them . All that trapped CO2 then reached a tipping point and the trapped smog became so hot it scalded everyone. Not really, bronchitus was a bit more common but we all survived and got on with living as normal with a few minor adjustments to our schedules.
Gillard has completely lost the plot. It must be possibly to remove her on grounds of madness. (And being Welsh not a born Australian). You can expect this sort of rubbish from the Greens though.
I do not believe that any sane Australian could buy into this.
Nick 1.51 am. Yeah and it caused kidney damage, people were swallowing it when they had
a vapor or nervous strain. LOL. David how have we proved your point? Can you please
expleenn? (With a Pauline Hansen accent)
