AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Tim Blair
Nine years ago, the Weekly World News was running exactly the kind of hilarious enviro-panic stories that now appear in respectable broadsheets.

BEAT THAT, WORLD
Tim Blair
We’re up by 82 per cent:
Australia’s annual greenhouse gas emissions have soared by more than four-fifths since 1990 – far exceeding the 8 per cent permitted by the Kyoto Protocol.
This is a measure of progress. We’re winning. And if any local warmers want to cry about it, they should ask themselves a few questions first, including: Have I had any children since 1990? Have I flown anywhere? Do I own nice televisions and computers that I didn’t own in 1990? How much better is the car I drive? And so on, until the link between emissions and quality of life becomes evident.

UPDATE. Our politicians are also contributing. Fairfax political correspondent Stephanie Peatling reports:
Taxpayers spent $4.3 million last year on cars and petrol for federal MPs and their families …

Overall the total cost of cars and petrol has jumped by 25 per cent - or $1 million - in just two years.
Another eco-success from Canberra! But even worse, according to Peatling, is that our politicians are driving poisonous cars:
Thirty-five of the 42 federal ministers and parliamentary secretaries chose large six-cylinder petrol-powered cars that emit significantly more carbon monoxide into the atmosphere than smaller vehicles or cars powered by alternative fuels.
Isn’t carbon dioxide meant to be the current gas of fear? Peatling, formerly her paper’s environmental correspondent, should know.

NEWCOMER AND OLDTIMER
Tim Blair
If you’re a high-profile billionaire activist against climate change, what would be your next logical step? Why, running a Formula One team, of course:
The Virgin brand’s 2010 Formula One project will be officially unveiled next week.

Virgin Racing, one of four new teams set to join the grid next season, will be launched at an event in London on Tuesday.

Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson, who last season sponsored title winners Brawn, and the Virgin Racing management team are all expected to be in attendance.
According to science – by which I mean, someone with a degree and who talks about science on the radio – F1 cars consume 12 litres of fuel per second. Not exactly green, Sir Richard, although at least you’ve the sense to steer clear of cricket. In other F1 news, those Schumacher rumours are growing stronger by the day:
If reports are to be believed, then Michael Schumacher and Mercedes GP fans are set to receive an early Christmas present this week.

Schumacher has been linked with a return to Formula One since early November when Mercedes decided to buy the majority stake in Brawn GP …

German daily Bild claims the deal between seven-times Schumacher and Mercedes is almost signed and sealed and it will be announced in the next week.
If it happens, it’ll be the most remarkable comeback since Niki Lauda’s in 1982. Lauda himself is dismissive, but there’s one factor here that may play in Schumacher’s favour …

Next year, F1 cars will not be permitted to refuel during a race. They’ll carry more than 230 litres of fuel from the start. Leaving aside the views of certain experts, whose analysis would have all the cars running dry after just 20 seconds, this means that drivers will have to nurse tyres and brakes under initial heavy loads.

At 40, Schumacher may lack the sheer speed to compete under previous regulations, which effectively divided races into three lightweight sprints. But he may be perfectly suited to managing a heavy car over an entire Grand Prix distance.

Lauda knows all about this. It’s how he won the 1984 world championship.

Bishop urges praise for the fanaticism that kills
Andrew Bolt
We must admire a fanaticism that inevitably leads to the demonisation and destruction of its foes:
The Taliban can be admired for their conviction to their faith and their sense of loyalty to one another, the new Bishop for the Armed Forces has claimed.

The Rt Rev Stephen Venner called for a more sympathetic approach to the Islamic fundamentalists that recognises their humanity…

“There’s a large number of things that the Taliban say and stand for which none of us in the west could approve, but simply to say therefore that everything they do is bad is not helping the situation because it’s not honest really.

”The Taliban can perhaps be admired for their conviction to their faith and their sense of loyalty to each other.”
Venner is, of course, just channelling Lyse Doucet, a BBC apologist for the Taliban:
A BBC presenter has attacked coverage of Afghanistan’s ongoing war, claiming TV reporters are not covering the humanity of the Taliban.
AP today reports on what the admirable and humane Taliban is up to at the moment in Pakistan:
The Taliban has routinely attacked schools, particularly ones attended by girls....

In one month in Peshawar, 221 people were killed and nearly 500 wounded in bombings. A single truck bomb in a market that sells mostly women’s clothes and children’s toys killed more than 100. The latest attack was Monday when a bomb went off outside the courthouse in Peshawar, killing 10 people…

Dr. Arif Attaullah says he does not cry easily. But when the truck bomb killed 112 people in Peshawar’s Mena Bazaar he could not stop the tears.

“A father came in and he was holding a small boy. The boy’s body was burned black and his father was crying: `I sent you to school to learn, not to die,’” Attaullah says. “That made me cry. I am a tough person — a surgeon — but day after day we are seeing these things that are too horrible.”
Praise the fanaticism that can inspire such barbarity. So the bishop of Britain’s armed forces instructs.

Hands off the sceptics
Andrew Bolt
Glenn Milne won’t name him, but what makes that so delicious is that he’s confident there’s enough Labor sceptics to choose from to protect the man he means:
If Rudd wants a reshuffle, I’ll give him the trigger he needs. He might want to start by sacking the cabinet minister who walked up to Andrew Robb at Sydney airport immediately after Robb had made his tipping point partyroom intervention on the ETS that effectively sunk both it and Turnbull.

Robb told colleagues that the minister, a well-known ETS sceptic came up to him, broke out into a broad smile and gave him a congratulatory handshake. The cabinet minister then strolled away, still smiling, without uttering a word.

He didn’t need to.
Sounds like Martin Ferguson, of course. But it could be Stephen Conroy, also a man of sense. But if I were Rudd, I’d think twice before trying any sackings with either.

The carbon con: all pain and no gain
Andrew Bolt
A dramatic illustration of how the world-wide emissions trading scheme that Kevin Rudd wants from Copenhagen can just cost us jobs and money without cutting emissions by a single puff:
What is the connection between Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the ...chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and an Indian-owned steel company’s decision to mothball its giant Teesside steel works next month, ripping the heart out of the town of Redcar by putting 1,700 people out of work?…

In 1999, ... much of (Britain’s state-owned steel industry) was sold off to the Dutch firm Corus, which in 2007 was bought by the Indian giant, Tata Steel.

One of Corus’s prizes was the Redcar steel works, once Europe’s largest blast furnace. It is this which is now to be mothballed, according to Corus because of worldwide “over-production”. But this is transparently not the case, since its new owner, Tata, is planning to more than double its steel production in India over the next three years. Furthermore, only last month Corus announced plans to build a 20 million euro plant in the Netherlands, with the help of 15 million euros from the EU and 5 million euros from the Dutch government…

The real gain to Corus from stopping production at Redcar, however, is the saving it will make on its carbon allowances, allocated by the EU under its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). By ceasing to emit a potential six million tonnes of CO2 a year, Corus will benefit from carbon allowances which could soon, according to European Commission projections, be worth up to £600 million over the three years before current allocations expire.

But this is only half the story. In India, Corus’s owner, Tata, plans to increase steel production from 53 million tonnes to 124 million over the same period. By replacing inefficient old plants with new ones which emit only “European levels” of CO2, Tata could claim a further £600 million under the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism, which is operated by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change – the organisers of the Copenhagen conference. Under this scheme, organisations in developed countries such as Britain… can buy the right to exceed their CO2 allocations from those in developing countries, such as India. The huge but hidden cost of these “carbon permits” will be passed on to all of us, notably through our electricity bills.

Thus, at the end of the day, Redcar will lose its biggest employer and one of the largest manufacturing plants left in Britain. Tata, having gained up to £1.2 billion from “carbon credits”, will get its new steel plants – while the net amount of CO2 emitted worldwide will not have been reduced a jot.

And the connection with Dr Pachauri? Directly there is no connection at all. But it just happens that Dr Pachauri’s other main job, apart from being chairman of the IPCC, is as director-general of the Tata Energy Research Institute, funded by Tata, which he has run since 1981.

The inspector returns
Andrew Bolt
Yes, let’s have them as well - and not instead of:
THE national teachers union is calling for a return to the days of school inspectors, proposing a system of external reviews of performance conducted by panels of principals, teachers and education experts.

In a significant shift on its previous opposition to external reviews, the Australian Education Union is advocating a system of regular assessments against a set of standards and then working with schools to improve their performance.
I remember how my own father, a conscientious teacher and principal, needed to prepare for inspectors’ visits, and reexamine what he did. I remember how carefully he’d consider what the inspectors reported, even if he disagreed with their findings.

The point is that the mere fact of such scrutiny, regardless of the formal outcome, can force the self-appraisal from which improvement comes.

Interesting that the teachers’ union now recommends what it unwisely fought for so long.

Rabbit Proof Fence: what was stolen was the truth
Andrew Bolt

I agree completely about this fraud of a film by a hypocrite of a director:
RABBIT-PROOF Fence, the film that in the eyes of millions of children around Australia tells the true story of the Stolen Generations, is “grossly inaccurate” and should be withdrawn from schools.

Keith Windschuttle, a frontline warrior in the history wars, has questioned the veracity of the film - though not the book on which it was based - in the third volume of his series, The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, to be released next week.

In Phillip Noyce’s award-winning film, three young indigenous girls are snatched from their family’s embrace on a remote settlement in Western Australia, forcibly removed by a racist government bent on “breeding out the colour”. Based on a true story, the movie tells of Molly, Daisy and Gracie and their remarkable 2000km trek home following the rabbit fence…

According to the historian, Molly and Gracie were removed from their families on the Jigalong Depot more than 75 years ago because of their “sexual activity with white men working in the area”.

The West Australian chief protector responsible for their removal, Auber Octavius Neville, had not been trying to “breed out the colour” by marrying off half-caste Aboriginal girls to whites as depicted in the film, Windschuttle said.

His claim was born of a review of state archives, where he found a letter to A.O. Neville in December 1930 by a Mrs Chellow, from Murra Munda Station near Jigalong, in which Molly and Gracie were accused of “running wild with the whites”.

“ `Running wild’ was said to be a contemporary euphemism for promiscuity, which meant the girls were having sex with the white males in the area,” Windschuttle writes in the preface of his new work…

“That is the big lie of the film. Neville did not use child removal in order to breed out the race.”
The scene in the clip above is from the movie and is a complete invention, even though the movie claims from the very start to be a “true story”. Read the first link for the truth.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Andrew Bolt
Kevin Rudd’s new commission to rid the world of nuclear weapons issues a report which perfectly demonstrates that the world should be rid of one more utterly platitudinous commission to read the world of nuclear weapons:
It sets out goals for the next three to four years, including a successful review of the Non-Proliferation Treaty in which weapons states would give renewed promises to disarm in return for non-weapons states accepting stricter safeguards on civilian nuclear programs.

This short-term agenda also calls for:

Agreements with North Korea and Iran not to apply civilian nuclear programs to weapons.

The US and Russia to secure a treaty, now being negotiated, to cut their arsenals of strategic nuclear weapons and then to start talks on further cuts.

The Obama Administration to declare that the ‘’sole purpose’’ of nuclear weapons in US defence doctrine was to deter other countries from using them.

A United Nations-sponsored conference between Israel and Arab states to discuss prerequisites for talks on a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East.

Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban treaty and a resumption of stalled negotiations for a treaty to stop production of fissile materials that can be used in nuclear weapons.
Even I could not have expected anything quite so trite and unoriginal. Can we get our money back?

Climategate: AP asks believers to give the all clear
Andrew Bolt
Why doesn’t AP just cut out the middleman and publish the Climategate scientists’ press releases?

The middleman in this case is the notorious alarmist Seth Borenstein, who claims to have exhaustively reviewed the Climategate emails with his famously dispasionate eye:
By Seth Borenstein, Raphael Satter and Malcolm Ritter, Dec 12, 2009

“E-mails stolen from climate scientists show they stonewalled skeptics and discussed hiding data — but the messages don’t support claims that the science of global warming was faked, according to an exhaustive review by The Associated Press.”
But the very same emails show just how very cosy Borenstein is to these same Climategate scientists, asking them for ammunition against a sceptical paper and a sceptic he accuses of “hyping wildly”:
On Jul 23, 2009, at 11:54 AM, Borenstein, Seth wrote:

Kevin, Gavin, Mike,

Anthony Watts explains why Borenstein should be sacked as science reporter.

In pooh-poohing the significance of the emails, Borenstein and his colleagues betray time and again their agenda. For instance:
One person singled out for criticism in the e-mails is Steve McIntyre, who maintains Climate Audit… McIntyre, 62, of Toronto, was trained in math and economics and says he is “substantially retired” from the mineral exploration industry, which produces greenhouse gases.
Borenstein is sure the Climategate emails don’t amount to much because he asked global warming believers if they now admitted they were wrong. Not surprisingly, he got precisely the answer you might expect:
None of the e-mails flagged by the AP and sent to three climate scientists viewed as moderates in the field changed their view that global warming is man-made and a threat. Nor did it alter their support of the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which some of the scientists helped write.
Who are those three “moderates”?

One is Gerald North, who seems from this 2000 quote to be a full-fledge warmist who doubts there was a Medieval Warming Period:
Climatologist Gerald North of Texas A&M University in College Station, who does greenhouse detection work but has not been involved in the IPCC process, is more confident: “There are too many independent pieces of evidence, and there’s not a single piece of contradictory evidence,” he says. North is particularly impressed by the 1000-year temperature records. “The planet had been cooling slowly until 120 years ago, when, bam!, it jumps up,” he says. “We’ve been breaking our backs on [greenhouse] detection, but I found the 1000-year records more convincing than any of our detection studies” using climate models.
Second is oceanographer Gabriel Vecchi, who, while doubting the warmists’ claims of worse hurricanes due to global warming, in 2006 declared himself a believer in the man-made warming theory:
This important system has weakened by 3.5 percent over the last 140 years, and the culprit is probably human-induced global warming, scientists reported in the current edition of the journal Nature. ”This is the impact of humans through burning coal, burning benzene, gasoline, everything,” said Gabriel Vecchi of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and an author of the study. “It’s principally the greenhouse gases from fossil-fuel burning.”
The third “moderate” is not named by Borenstein and his co-authors, so his existence and supposed moderation must be taken on trust. We must also trust that Borenstein showed all three scientists the most damning of the emails, and the context necessary to understand them.

But as you consider whether Borenstein deserves that trust, note how he characterises in his article his fishing for something negative from the Climategate scientists to counter a paper that he complained a sceptic was “hyping wildly”
The archive also includes a request from an AP reporter, one of the writers of this story, for reaction to a study, a standard step for journalists seeking quotes for their stories.
Not “a” as in “any” reaction, Seth. What you sought was a very particular one. And once again you got just what you were after.

CONSENSUS CHANGE
Tim Blair
The CIA is warned of a changing climate:
A high-priority government report warns of climate change that will lead to floods and starvation. ‘Leading climatologists’ speak of a ‘detrimental global climatic change’, threatening ‘the stability of most nations’. The scenario is eerily familiar although the document — never made public before — dates from 1974. But here’s the difference: it was written to respond to the threat of global cooling, not warming. And yes, it even mentions a ‘consensus’ among scientists.
Read on. Thirty-five years later, of course, the CIA is worried about warmth.

In what is believed to be the first case of its kind, mechanic Michael Stevenson was dismissed by the Mid-Western Regional Council council after allegedly performing the trademark revhead manouevre while leaving the Mudgee depot in his V6 Holden Commodore on December 5 last year.

Mr Stevenson rejected the accusation and said none of the key elements of a burnout – tyre smoke and big skid marks – were present. And even though he said it was not a burnout, he condemned sacking someone for doing a burnout as un-Australian.
There will be no burnouts in our ecological hybrid future. No good ones, anyway.

What would a Greenpeace supporter know?
Andrew Bolt

Christopher Monckton holds a Socratic dialogue on climate data with a Greenpeace supporter. It’s the wanting to believe that is the key in this debate, and also the reason why facts barely count. The disgraceful role of the media in creating this scare is very clear:

This line from the Greenpeace fan, in dismssing Monckton’s data on a lack of recent warming, is a classic:
I’m talking about a planet where it does happen.
A fascinating and illuminating discussion.

UPDATE

Against Monckton’s courtesy and data, warmists at Copenhagen from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition offer abuse, heckling, smears and the old sticker-on-the-back trick:

Judge for yourself where reason lies. And where the new fascism resides.

Oh, and sponsoring these young barbarians are these guilty:

Warming up Antarctica

How reliable is any of the weather data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to claim we warmed until 2001?

We’ve seen bizarre adjustments made to raw data to create warming trends in Darwin and Orland, for instance. Now Anthony Watts discovers that the one station used by a supplier of IPCC data to measure warming in the Antarctic is sited not just in the small part of the continent that’s warming, but in a settlement that’s boomed with new sources of “urban"-type heat, from an air strip and a hanger to a cluster of toasty new buildings. Here is that place, the Rothera research centre:

Then drive like you mean it, Tim
Andrew Bolt

What World Vision Australia head Tim Costello preaches:
AS we turn up the earth’s thermostat by pumping out ever increasing amounts of climate change pollution, its effects will be felt most harshly by those who are most vulnerable: the poor, elderly, young children and the sick… Not only do we have a moral to protect this earth, but we also have a duty to take action.
What he actually does:
What are you driving now?

I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander [above]. I like the fact that you’re a little bit higher up and have good visibility. And it’s got plenty of space so that when we all go down to our family beach house after Christmas, you can get in what you need for a good week.

Do you have a favourite drive?

My most common drive is to the airport but my favourite drive is when my wife and I go up to the Dandenongs and have a Devonshire tea. As I live in the inner city I do enjoy that drive.
All that driving, and in such a relatively gassy car, whether the new model or the old:
Returning combined economy of 38.7mpg, the range-topping diesel isn’t far behind the 42.2mpg efficiency of the 2.0-litre model. However, the larger engine’s 194g/km CO2 emissions are less impressive compared to the 183g/km output of the lower powered oil-burner.
It’s not as if Costello had no choice. According to Carpages, he could have chosen any one of more than 3000 less gassy models.

Odd thing is, Costello is now urging the Opposition Leader to join him in gassy sinning:
WORLD Vision chief executive Tim Costello has called on new Opposition leader Tony Abbott to ”get on a plane and come to Copenhagen”...
