Australian government prepares for massive climate disruption

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.

“Is anyone working on how to save the human race when the sun becomes a red giant?”
Yes, there’s a Blue Ribbon panel made up of 6 Republican and 6 Democrat Senators with 12 at-large representatives appointed by the U.N. that are already in the final planning stages for the most effective global tax regime necessary to solve the problem. Obviously it’s going to take a lot of money to stop the sun from becoming a red giant, so we must ACT NOW!
P.S. Some of the panel members reportedly want to go on a junket to the sun (at night, of course) because they’ve heard it’s much warmer than Bali and they do NOT wish to freeze their patooties off like they did in Cancun.
;o)

“When Worlds Collide” Enjoyed the book, and the sequel, much better than the film.

You misunderstand the true meaning of history…that it is a WRITTEN record of a people. As the majority of the population in Australia has immigrated from Europe (and of course, there are now more from other parts of the world) their history is actually the history of Europe (or wherever in the world they come from), not Aboriginal ancestor myths.

Although I consider myself a science fiction movie buff, I do not recall the movie ‘when worlds collide’.
However, I have seen the first half, twice, of ‘On The Beach’ (1959);
“The residents of Australia after a global nuclear war must come to terms with the fact that all life will be destroyed in a matter of months.”
By the way, a remake of When Worlds Collide is scheduled for a 2012 release.

“Some have been tempted to call the climate crisis a conspiracy,for which conclusion I admit there is ample evidence. But, to my mind, conspiracy requires at least an attempt at secrecy and covertness, which has been entirely lacking in this effort.”
The climate crisis, whether conspiracy or not, is at least a cover for the real conspiracy. As to covertness, what do you find if you look under the rug? Are the “cognoscenti” giving any reason why economists should be promoted to the position of Science Advisors? But by such means they have sought to redefine what science is, and that corruption of science is the outcome of conspiracy. More than secrecy and covertness, what a conspiracy requires is a reason for existing.
Why is Western industry being transferred to China? Why are vast tracts of Australian farmland falling into the hands of Chinese corporations? Why are we being made to fear that our steel mills will have to cease production in favour of importing Chinese steel made with our own coal? Is it so that we can stop making CO2? Of course not. The cognoscenti know darn well that the underlying reason is an economic one.
Why is Australian wealth being sucked up into the vacuum of artificially inflated real estate prices, from whence it can never return? (Yes, artificial. It was known that population would exceed accommodation and other infrastructure, driving prices beyond escape velocity.) And why is price always deliberately confused with value? Lies are piled upon lies. The reasons behind economic conspiracy are not being shouted from the rooftops, so we’ll have to guess.
My guess is that home ownership will become the preserve of the elite long before this century is out. And a “carbon” tax can only accelerate the process, especially with a percentage of the take going directly to Chinese interests (or is that just a rumour?) and the never-mentioned secrecy about applied administration costs.
I also guess that the controlling class in the NWO will likely never make the old mistake of allowing the working class to negotiate for better pay and conditions. In fact I’m sure of it. That’s the real reason that “wealth redistribution” favours China and India, but it must be at their ultimate peril or else there’s no reason behind the transplanting of industry, most especially not a climatic reason.
It completely escapes me how anyone could doubt the existence of conspiracy in all of this. But climate conspiracy? Well, whatever you want to call it, it remains an overt load of bovine intended to make us believe that the economic disaster being perpetrated upon us is for the purpose of saving the environment. The economic crisis has all the misdirection, secrecy and covertness you’re looking for.

Australian history or prehistory is a better description, is a subject I studied for my BA with a major
in archaeology and palaeoanthropology. We think the first Australians arrived around 50 – 60 k
years ago. But we are not sure where they came from or where was their first port of call?
However, there is a dissent of opinion between Aborigines that white people should not write about their history. As their view of their ‘history’ is different from the European view.
To me archaeology is an international science that can’t be disputed with empirical and material
evidence, however, the interpretations made will change as more of the archaeological record is
uncovered and previous assumptions may be revised.
Aborigines depending on their location lived well in the last ice age. That seems to suggest to me as hunter and gatherers then later fishers they adapted well in post glacial periods. Until of course the Macassans and later the Europeans arrived. Most died from introduced diseases they had no natural immunity to. And changing onto a western diet and alcohol. Colonial history is another of my interests rife with lack of written history or the records (all official) have been destroyed or lost. But it is slowly being being revised.
Australia was a rough place for early pioneers (So was UK and Ireland) and they often called on local Aborigines to help them. Of course lots of incidences of unlawful, genocide, abductions, and exploitation. Much like in the Americas where indigenous people clashed over territory and hunting rights. Unlike Northern America there were no cloven hoofed grazing animals, only marsupials.

Those of you from my part of the world (New Zealand), and seafood afficionados from elswhere, may understand why my extended family have coined a nickname for Ms. Gillard. To all of us, and all of our friends, and now you can share too, she is known as “the Orange Roughy”.
Spread the word.
