Ju-liars Kiss of Death has the stench of necrophilia to me. Grotesque, in every sense.

The NZ media coverage of the Australian "carbon tax" has been lamentable. I saw nothing whatsoever on today's stuff.co.nz, and Radio NZ morning report presented this in gushing terms as a great breakthrough in Australian culture. Delingpole's Australia Commits Suicide is possibly a bit on the polemic side, while Australian MP Cory Bernadi provides a video commentary that is telling.

Are Australia and the UK in a battle for the final of The World Cup of Stupidity?

With the EU acknowledging that their forlorn stand counts for nought if the big three, the U.S., China & India, don’t sign on for Kyoto-II then there isn’t any point to the EU continuing either. The UK & Oz govt’s have their collective heads so far in the sand that all that remains above ground is unrecognizeable as a credible government. Recent prudent comments from our own govt. suggest that they see the writing on the wall and are starting to back off economic suicide as far as dragging our biggest exporters into the madness is concerned.

None of the reality of the EU situation is getting through our MSM though. Today’s mention of the Aussie labour Govt’s success in passing this heinous act was seen as a shining light in the war against that deadly poison that we all exhale. This would make unbelievable fiction. Unfortunately it is all true.

Cheers, Coops.

I’ve just left the UK behind me and was relieved to arrive home in NZ, as I believe the UK is heading for disaster of various kinds, all of them nasty; the current UK Chancellor’s statement is quite out of character for the government as a whole. I despair of a world run by politicians who refuse to engage their brains on the subject of climate, and despair equally when I read the specious nonsense produced by Renowden and his fellow Warmers. John Cook and his SkS is truly awful in the constant stream of arrant nonsense disguised as science that issues from it.

Makes Gareth’s “permanent moderation” and the “twilight zone” look amateurish.

Yes, Gandalf never fails to guide unsuspecting Herald comment readers to SS but I note Bryan Walker gets “the science from the RealClimate Wiki” – bless his watermelon heart.

O/T but Shub Niggurath has posted a well-researched piece on the editorial policy on Skeptical Science. (deletion of comments and rewriting history).

This is the “one-stop shop” for most NZ AGW enthusiasts , and John Cook features regularly on Gareth’s “Climate Show”.

Speaking of the Great Depression, don’t mention the rugby.

Richard North writes in the Sunday Mail How climate change zealots are wrecking every last industry this country possesses Meanwhile, the governor of the Bank of England thinks the coming financial crisis might be worse than the Great Depression.. Happy days indeed
