TONIGHT'S
airing of The Great Global Warming Swindle and the associated discussion on ABC
TV should be a hoot. The ABC has structured the panel to try to get their
preferred political position aired. The panel composition will minimise
scientific discussion. It contains journalists, political pressure groups and
those who will make a quid out of frightening us witless.

(D-Calif.) and a powerful committee chairman may lead to a global-warming
showdown on the House floor later this month.

LAST month
Australians endured our coldest June since 1950. Imagine that; all those
trillions of tonnes of evil carbon we've horked up into the atmosphere over six

Scientific data reveal that
the Earth is close to dangerous climate change, to tipping points that could
produce irreversible effects. Global warming of 0.6°C in the past 30 years has
brought the Earth's temperature back to about the peak level of the Holocene --
the current period of climate stability, now of nearly 12,000 year duration --
and more warming is "in the pipeline" due to human-made greenhouse
gases already in the air.
