More like Global Boring am i rite folks
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or the IPCC (I don't like acronyms that you can't pronounce, so I'm going to call it 'Ippic') released their big report last week. It basically said that, with a 90% probability, climate change has been caused by man. And it had some pretty dire predictions about what might happen as a result. Newspapers across the world jumped on the story. The Sydney Morning Herald reported 'World Wakes To Climate Calamity', The Guardian reported 'Worse Than We Thought', and The Daily Telegraph had pictures of Shane Warne pashing his ex.
How I assume global warming is causedAs someone whose knowledge of global warming comes predominantly from Al Gore films, I'm not really going to make a call either way. But it's hard to argue against the 2,500 scientists that contributed to the Ippic Report. But then again, those 2,500 scientists need grant money. And it's a lot easier to get money for your research/Frankstenstein creating schemes if you're saying 'THE WORLD IS GOING TO END AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL MELT' rather than 'YOU MIGHT NEED TO BUY MORE T-SHIRTS'
But then the scientists who argue against man-made climate change have their own agenda too. For some strange reason, these agendas seem to line up perfectly with those of oil companies like Exxon. Weird.
That might also explain why they hand in their reports alongside big canvas bags full of money with the dollar-sign painted on them. And also why I saw this guy attend a climate summit with John Howard:
He's really let himself goSo with so many agendas, with so many third-parties influencing everything, how do we determine the truth? Who can be the voice of reason amongst the cloud of uncertainty? How do we find the way forward?
Well, like always..... We look north.
We look....
To the Baldwin.
All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send in more troops. If you don't think there is a link between the weather and Iraq, you are wrong.Sold.

just on yourclaims about 2500 scientists tommy
"Last Friday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations group charged with assessing the state of the world's climate, unveiled the summary of its latest report. The IPCC Web site claims an impressive number of participants: 450 lead authors, 800 contributors and 2,500 expert reviewers (of which I was one). But it would be a mistake to assume all these experts endorse everything in summary, including its bottom-line assessment: "Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations." Many disagree with the conclusion itself or the claimed level of certainty, but the fact is, we were never asked. Most participants worked only on small portions of the report, handed in final materials last summer and never ventured an opinion on claims made in the summary."

talk about global warming brings out the worst in everyone. i was watching howard on lateline the other night talking about how he suddenly loves carbon trading and i nearly roundhouse kicked the tv. then again, listening to greenies cry about nuclear power makes me want to roundhouse kick two tvs.
