In love with climate fraud: no doubt allowed. Robyn Williams won’t even read the climate gate e-mails. Manufactured truth vs science. Manufactured opinions rule: “Climategate again?”
Australia won the price for comedy in Copn’huggin:
VICTORY DECLARED
Tim Blair
Still, while Copenhagen awaits Rudd’s visit, there are already enough other Australian government representatives over there. This is a team effort, and what a team we’ve sent: up to 114 of us, according to provisional attendance lists, including official photographers, drivers and baggage wranglers.
That’s equal to more than two-thirds of our House of Representatives. It’s greater than our entire Senate. The carbon figures for this little glory jaunt will be worth framing. They’d look great on Penny Wong’s office wall, if she’s got a wall big enough.
We’ve learned to expect giggles from this government, what with its David Brent-ish powers of self-delusion. This mob seriously believes it can alter the temperature of the entire planet despite its inability to carry out an insulation program without setting fire to dozens of houses and requiring that hundreds of installers be deregistered.
Even worse: three deaths are linked to the program, which is three more than can be linked to global warming. The problem here is local warming. Intensely local warming. As in, your living room is suddenly ablaze because some kid working for an installer chasing easy Ruddbucks has plonked fiberglass batts down on superhot light fixtures.
The private sector – well, kind of; they’re at least private citizens – is also helping out in Copenhagen. Our tiny government representation needs all the assistance it can get, I suppose. These winners are even funnier than Kevin’s Comedy Climateers. Take social worker and global warming activist Kim Nguyen, for example, who cycled 18,000 km from Brisbane to the climate talks. More>>>

Nine years ago, the Weekly World News was running exactly the kind of hilarious enviro-panic stories that now appear in respectable broadsheets.
