The global retreat from alarmism and action on catastrophic Climate Change, rightly or wrongly, is now undeniable even to warmists. It’s actually the Gillard Labor-Green government that is already ‘on the wrong side of history’, as she so vacuously puts it.
At a recent The Spectator climate change debate with Lord Lawson hosted by the IPA (reviewed here), Mark Latham, not surprisingly, gave perhaps the most entertaining speech. Particularly interesting was his description of an “informal fourth arm of government” which is probably as true as it is concerning. So who watches the scientists?
ABC’s Managing Director, Mark Scott appears to backtrack on Wendy Carlisle’s embarrassing Climate science errors she made while wrongfully ridiculing Lord Moncktonas “misconstruing the scientific evidence”, by claiming the program was actually not about science, so no need to talk about her errors.
A thumbnail summary of the Wendy Carlisle’s attempt to ridicule Lord Monckton on his lecture series in her Background Briefing:
Wendy Carlisle: haha Monckton got these two science facts wrong in his lecture and here are the specific scientific quotes to prove it and in fact his whole lecture was scientific rubbish and he is an idiot.
Climate Sceptics complain: Wendy, you made elementary mistakes of science fact in your two examples, here is the evidence, one ruled on by no less that a High Court Judge in the UK.
Complaint is answered by no less than the Managing Director of ABC: No no, the program was not about science, we can’t delve into climate science, her program was more about ….more about the vibe, more about the speaker’s lecturing style.

Finally, peer reviewed science which disputes climate alarm finally hits the front pages of main stream media. The climate catastrophe of inundation by rising sea levels is now dead And along with it, the whole climate scam and Carbon Taxing. To continue the faith, Alarmists now must start publicly denying that peer reviewed observational evidence is falsifying their previous peer reviewed research, which, by the way, is mostly based on computer climate modelling. Observation trumps models…always.
The Australian correctly affords front page significance to a second peer reviewed paper, disputing the Climate Alarm over projected sea level rise by IPCC, which is one of the main justifications for Julia Gillard’s deceitful Carbon Tax:
A remarkable event – Canberra Press Club gives air time to a controversial leading climate sceptic, Lord Monckton in a live debate with Australia’s economist Dr. Richard Denniss. The Lord delivers an inspiring and convincing scientific argument for adaptation to a likely harmless 1 DegC warming this century in place of CO2 abatement doomed to failure. Dr Dennis relying on arguments from authority and consensus could not compete. Equally remarkable, some audience asks sceptical questions and overall receives Lord Monckton generously and warmly. Have Australia’s journalists woken up from their warmist trance? Is this the turning moment in Australia’s Climate Change Hysteria history?
The Canberra Press Club debate: Lord Monckton vs Dr. Richard Denniss
The climate alarmist media is abuzz with a story purported to damage the eccentric climate sceptic, Lord Monckton. The Clark of the House of Lords has written an open letter to Lord Monckton to cease and desist from claiming to be a member of the House of Lords. This is a long running dispute, and a matter of disagreement on technical legal arguments as indicated within the letter itself, and not some deceit of fraud by Lord Monckton.
The United Nations’ forecast of how quickly global sea levels will rise this century is vital in determining how much money might be needed to combat the phenomenon. But predictions by researchers vary wildly, and the attempt to find consensus has become fractious.
…Furthermore, the more rapid rise since 1993, even if it [...]
