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.

Brian @ur momisugly 11.28:
Just spoke to a family member in Victoria. After a few pleasant spring-like warm days it is now perishing cold again
Peter J @ur momisugly 2.05 am:
Australia is a nice place, but is being ruined by people with vested interests, just like the UK. It is being swamped by lefty lunacy and political correctness, just like the UK.

There is history in Australia that dates back 50,000 years or more. It’s just modern day, “Eropean”, history that spans that 200 odd years.

Ah yes, I live here too. Reported as a “heat wave”…and “record breaking” warm. Forget the record breaking COLD for last summer, last autumn and MOST of this winter. But still a few days cold does not make a trend, but a few days warm does, right?

Ahhh maaaate…that was a hoot! Even had my wife in giggles and she has no idea what a ginger nut is!
There was a time When politicians would have waited, till they’d failed, before resorting to shock, horror video nasties for a living.
Aren’t they still running country that was once Australia?
I am so embarrassed to be Australian right now. *sigh*

Unfortunately, yes. However, I believe there is a growing change in the tide of public opinion, there are many facebook pages dedicated to stopping the madness permiating through the halls of power. There is also a convoy of truckies, farmers, small business owners etc etc planning a protest drive from all parts of Australia converging on Canberra soon. Still, voting Aussies (Don’t blame me. Rudd pulled the trigger before I could get my citizenship sorted) got what they voted for.
Oh yeah, for Brian, Canberra had it’s codest May day ON RECORD this year. Darwin had it’s COLDEST autumn in decades. But again, a few days, or months, is not a trend unless it’s warm, right?
I used to live in tropical Darwin, in Northern Australia. It reached a record low of 15C and the headline of the local paper screamed “Darwin Freezes”
A lady on local radio mentioned that she was driving her son to school who commented when she turned on the heater in the car: “I didn’t know cars had heaters!”
Government is a genre of literature.
We started with 1 convoy, then 5, then 8 and now 11 Convoys – due to the outrage from the Australian people being ignored, and the Federal Government ignoring the will of the people – Australia did not “get” the government they deserve – they were betrayed!
There are two types of scammers:
1. Those who try to sell you something that seems to be too good to be true.
2. Those who try to sell you something (carbon taxes) that would save you from something (end of the world by climate change) that seems to be too bad to be true
Kelvin V at 2.26 am. Yes Kelvin I lived in Potters Bar then, and traveled on a steam train to the Bank of England. My petticoat had to be changed twice a week as it had two or three inches of grey smut stain on it. When the diesal trains came in then it wasn’t as bad. When the smoke free zone was endorsed, in 1962, they had smoke inspectors. I was in Cyprus from late 1960 – early 1963 don’t know much really what happened in London.
Anyone whose chimney was seen emitting smoke was warned once, but if they didn’t obey were fined 200 pounds. They burned coke or coal lite. Within 10 years the Thames was seeing
again dolphin or porpoises swimming in the lower Thames around London. The buildings were
clean again as a good omen the swallows were nesting under the big business houses in the City of London. But 1963 was one of the coldest English Winters since 1947. I returned in early Feb
1963 and luckily had a sheep skin jacket. The Thames froze up at Windsor. Shades of the ice fairs in the 19th Century. And the Smogs. The 1952 Smog killed 6,000 people (more from later years who got lung problems) and I remember one in 1958/59 too, when people were selling smog masks in London. I was working there then. I remember the Smog went from inner London to about Barnet. But remember the atmospheric problems with London placed near the Thames.
I can’t remember buying a smog mask, but the Bank of England buildings all had air filters.
Just to let everybody know, there will be the biggest rally in Australian history on the 16th of August outside Parliament House at 12 noon. We want an ELECTION NOW. If you give a damn about democracy please come to Canberra, meet GROVER the truckie walking from Albury to Canberra in his protest . The Fabien party and the Greens are pushing global warming and sea levels rising. The Labor gov’t are telling old people in Gosford retirement homes they will all be under water and will have to move, they say the mayor of Gosford said so. Give us a break.
If polar bears are such endangered species, then surely this could not have happened? Maybe there are too many bears roaming around instead?
The father of a man from Plymouth who was part of a group mauled by a polar bear in the Arctic said what happened was “inconceivable”.

Anthony, have you seen this: at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110804141706.htm
>>ScienceDaily (Aug. 4, 2011) — For the last 10,000 years, summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has been far from constant. For several thousand years, there was much less sea ice in The Arctic Ocean — probably less than half of current amounts. This is indicated by new findings by the Danish National Research Foundation for Geogenetics at the University of Copenhagen. The results of the study will be published in the journal Science.<<

Hmm, somebody is going to have to pay for brown-mousing the Gillard’s hair. She’s supposed to be a ranga!

Hi Antonia.
Just what do you mean by “Ranga”?
The “Climate Disruption” of which they speak is called an election in the Northern Hemisphere.
URKidding
Just in case Antonia does not see your question “Ranga” is slang for redhead,as in Orangutang shortened to “Ranga”,Aussies used to call them”Blue” or “Bluey”,as in opposite to red.
Funny story from Adelaide
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/adelaide-zoo-slammed-over-free-entry-for-redheads/story-e6freuy9-1111117616805
ADELAIDE Zoo has dropped an ad campaign offering free visits to all “rangas” to highlight the plight of orang-utans after sensitive redheads complained.
Last week, advertisements ran offering “free Zoo entry for all rangas” during the school holidays.
Hi Noelene
So Ranga is short for Orangutan………….a dereogatory term for redheads.
My 5 month old granddaughter has red hair……….does that make a Ranga too???
Hope you feel good darling. I’m an Aussie so I did know what it meant. I just wanted everyone to know what sort of low life POS you are.
Still, I reckon on Orangutan would be a lot prettier than you.
URKidding, in Oz a ranga is a red-haired person. Urangatang; get it? My daughter married a handsome ranga and all four grandparents were hoping for ranga grandchildren. Alas the first issue has been a mousey brown haired female. While we love her to bits we know she carries the precious ranga gene!
