		<description>Flipper,
If you continue to have cat/machine interface problems, I can recommend PawSense 

&lt;em&gt;PawSense is a software utility that helps protect your computer from cats. It quickly detects and blocks cat typing, and also helps train your cat to stay off the computer keyboard.&lt;/em&gt;

No, I am not making this up!</description>

		<description>Thanks Andy... and thanks Richard T for the corrections. Actually, Tasha, a Burmese, did make her mark. She is a little DoB who thinks she is human. Come to think of it, she has more sense than Hunter K et al.

		<description>Yes, Clarence, I sympathise with those fed up with the transparent nonsense ladled into the mainstream media news trough -- I&#039;m fed up, too!

I was very comfortable with the ACT Party under Rodney&#039;s leadership, and became good friends with Rodney after we talked about AGW, however I confess to being interested only in the Party&#039;s anti-AGW stance. I was never much impressed with Don Brash as a politician (he seemed too cerebral and detached, vital qualities otherwise) so when he deposed Rodney I was concerned ACT would be disadvantaged. However more and more colleagues are expressing confidence in him, and you&#039;re another, so I&#039;m thinking he might be good for ACT and their policies.

Thanks for your kind words about the blog.</description>

		<description>That damned cat is walking on your keyboard again Flipper!

Never mind, I got the gist, thanks. And it made sense too. Agreed on Brash, but why does he have to &quot;debate&quot; that moron Hone?</description>

		<description>I am sure that ACT will be more credible under Don Brash whom I have known for some 35 years. He has the intellect (real, as opposed to perceived) to take apart the warmists &quot;before lunchtime&quot;. Hunter and his like have lost all credibility.   
If they (ACT) get 6% plus without bleeding the Nats all will be well.

But let&#039;s get real in terms of world political realities. Europe (thanks to the PIGS) is broke.
The USofA is waiting in the wings for Obama to come to his senses (bear in mind this &quot;genius&quot; has never even run a 7 Eleven) but even if he does, the USA will NEVER approve AGW legislation because it transfers power from the Congress to the Moon/Clark/IPCC clique.
The UK is struggling to stay afloat, but let&#039;s not go there now. But AK scores a three-pointer!

At home,  it all comes down to the way Ministers and MPs are briefed.

MFAT is a major problemn.  Take them away and Kyoto disappears along with the silly ETS  (give any money to Chch reconstruction). But that will require steel balls....I could go on  ...............

Richard T and the many learned contributors to CCG , YES, your contributions, analysis, etc etc etc  are vital and should NOT cease. I admire you folks for your commitment and your intellectual honesty. It is really all worth while.

My original message was intended simply to say that having won (as you have) the debate on the science, move on to the political fight.

Have a nice anti-AGW weekend folks.</description>

		<description>As I&#039;ve seen it, this blog fills an important role in analysing climate issues in a topical and tolerant way – but it is non-partisan.

The scope of the blog extends to all aspects of the climate wars, whether scientific, economic, social or political. Of course, scientific disputes play a major role because misrepresentation of &quot;the science&quot; is the very casus belli of the war.

But a growing number of New Zealanders (whether scientists or not) have had a gutsful of the misrepresentations, as well as the mounting economic costs, and now want to do something about it. They need to become politically active, in the same way as thousands of Green Party supporters have become active in previous years.

I personally believe that the recent changes in the ACT Party have made it a very effective vehicle for the anti-CAGW vote. Most of the rural and business communities were very comfortable with Don Brash both as RB Governor and NP Leader, and still see him as a safe pair of hands for the conservative side of politics.

So, Flipper, hie ye to the ACT Party website!</description>

		<description>Flipper has made a very valid point.  The level of actual scientific knowledge exhibited by the Alpha politicians here in the UK is almost zero; so arguing scientific points is a waste of time.  In my view, the only thing that will win this battle against the climate alarmists long-term is economics, as in the economic impact mad policies such as ETS have on the voting public, particularly in these straightened times.  Hopefully, the old Kiwi reputation for political pragmatism and common sense will eventually prevail.
But the value of this blog, Richard, is the science which is presented as a very valuable resource for those able to fight in the political arena.  I&#039;m a bit far away from home right now to be of much practical help in the political fight; all I can do right now is assist in presenting what I think is a reasonably sane and clear-eyed view of what&#039;s happening in the UK.</description>
