Who believes in climate change anyway?
The latest report from the Climate Commission in Australia, The Critical Decade, says what every other major scientific review of the literature has said about climate change. In fact this report seems to be simply a summary of other major reviews and is perhaps more of an explanation of these other reports in a simple format than it is a review of the modelling itself. The report has drawn the predictable support from those who are concerned about climate change and derision from those who don’t believe it is a problem. One of the criticisms coming from the latter group is that those scientists who support the climate change theory, only do so because they make a quid out of it. The belief from some is that if you are paid to study climate, it is in your interests to create a panic so you get more money to do research. The same argument could be applied to scientists who study obesity, cancer, water quality, weed management and mining. We believe the latter group of scientists to our great benefit, yet some would have us believe that climate scientists are a particularly cunning and ruthless form of the species, who lie about what the data is telling them and have created mass hysteria through a global, highly organised conspiracy that has only a very small percentage leaving the club to expose the whole sordid tale to the media. This in itself is a remarkable level of loyalty from a group in society who would normally trip over themselves to expose the inaccuracies of another member of their fraternity. These scientists have seemingly benefited by being paid extraordinary amounts of money (an academics salary) for their deception, presumably with a proportion having to go back to keep the central organisation going. I bet its called KAOS.
Complicit in this conspiracy are green groups who morphed from being innocent protectors of whales and trees into rabid anti-development extremists who are part of a separate, but also highly coordinated, left-wing conspiracy to de-industrialise the world and make us all poorer. It is not clear whether they are in cahoots with the climate scientists who are clearly in it for alternative economic reasons.
Also participating in this axis are evil are the following pariahs of common sense:
- Well known left-wing anarchists, British Petroleum
- Well meaning but hopelessly naive, US Department of Defense
- Anti-establishment extremists, Nestle
- Clearly self-interested, BHP Billiton
- Pixies at the bottom of the garden, Chinese Ministry of Economics
- Agents of skullduggery, NATO Parliamentary Assembly
With such a grouping of delirious malcontents supportive of climate change and sounding warnings of the need to take action, it is no wonder that moderate, clear thinking defenders of the world’s integrity such as Alan Jones, Christopher Monckton and well known climate scientists such as Ian Plimer and so rabidly opposed.

KAOS – Klimate Alarmism Overting Sense … bwahahahah (rubs hands, twirls moustache, ties pretty young woman labelled “Democracy and Western Values” to railway track. There’s definitely mileage in it.
Btw, you missed the insurance industry in on this scam. My goodness, I bet KAOS organising meetings are, well, chaos…
Sorry, “overturning”
Good work, take a look at the article Climate Change Report Debunked. Where’s the empirical data amongst all this advocacy?

@John Rook, I’m sure the BoM would be happy to send you a copy of the last 150 years of climate data if you asked.
