Headlines Saturday 15th November

Blabber turns twitter
Andrew Bolt
The blabber is now a twitter, too:

Met with Madeleine Albright.

Rich price for poor lesson
Andrew Bolt
It’s the kind of behaviour you’d expect from a global warming jet-setter instead:

ANTI-poverty campaigner Sir Bob Geldof charged $100,000 to come to Melbourne and give a speech about world suffering.

Al Gore needs a new poster
Andrew Bolt
Beautiful Sunset
Al Gore launched An Inconvenient Truth at just the right time to exploit fears that Hurricane Katrina was a sign of things to come. Check his poster. And when a cyclone hit Burma, there was Gore again, picking over the corpses for more “proof” of his theory:

(W)e’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.

His former boss, Bill Clinton, was just as keen to exploit those windy fears:

It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming… It’s a serious problem. It’s going to lead to more hurricanes.

But, once again, the climate refuses to behave as the alarmists predicted:

The past two years have seen a “remarkable” downturn in hurricane activity, contradicting predictions of more storms, researchers at Florida State University say.

The 2007 and 2008 hurricane seasons had the least tropical activity in the Northern Hemisphere in 30 years, according to Ryan Maue, co-author of a report on Global Tropical Cyclone Activity.

“Even though North Atlantic hurricane activity was expectedly above normal, the Western and Eastern Pacific basins have produced considerably fewer than normal typhoons and hurricanes,” he said.

Maue’s results dovetail with other research suggesting hurricanes are variable and unconnected to global warming predictions, said Stan Goldenberg, a hurricane researcher with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.


One day many more people will look back and wonder how stupid they were to have been duped by such alarmists and carpetbaggers.

A plea for Bali
Andrew Bolt
Nigel Mason, a friend who built and runs Bali’s best elephant park, is cross that we have reported of “Bali anger” over the executions of the three Bali bombers;

I am an Australian who has lived in Bali for the past 28 years, being married to a Balinese....

There was ‘no anger’ in Bali, in fact the day of the terrorist bombers executions was as quiet and relaxing day as any other in Bali. Not a ripple was felt and even the news was very low key to almost disinterest other than the fact that the whole fiasco was finally over.... The photos of so called angry mobs, was in fact an emotional village funeral procession in ‘Java’ not Bali, where there were no clashes with police, only jostling with nobody on either side injured and there were no violent clashes with police such as were seen in Melbourne when demonstrators viciously attacked police in the central city a while ago.
