Opposition Leader threatens to resign over ETS
Oct 1^st, 2009 at 2:02pm

It's about time he got the Libs aligned on this. (or attempted)

Quote:

Mr Turnbull this morning indicated he was willing to put his leadership on the line over climate change, saying he is not prepared to lead a party not equally as committed.

He wants the right to negotiate with the Government on its carbon trading scheme, but his willingness has been criticised by some less-than-enthusiastic backbenchers.

Damn! Sucked in yet again. Oh well, I'll just abandon the laws of physics and all my common sense. If a Daily Telegraph journalist says so, it must be true. Grin

He obviously supports it, albeit in an amended form from Rudd's legislation. I would have no problem with a carbon tax approach.

Do you have a problem with paying for your garbage removal too?

You might have seen these before. I think he has a good point:

Have a look at the graph at Climate Audit (which broke the story and has been so inundated with hits that its server was almost overwhelmed) and see for yourself.

http://www.climateaudit.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/rcs_chronologies_rev2.gif

The scary red line shooting upwards is the one Al Gore, Michael Mann, Keith Briffa and their climate-fear-promotion chums would like you to believe in. The black one, heading downwards, represents scientific reality.

We “Global Warming Deniers” are often accused of ignoring the weight of scientific opinion. Well if the “science” on which they base their theories is as shoddy as Mann’s Hockey Stick, is it any wonder we think they’re talking cobblers?

Yep.

Northy.

Well if the Libs continue on their merry road to nowhere the Nats could well be the senior member of the coalition in the not too distant future.
Good on ya for knowing Truss is the leader Northy, a survey done on the streets a couple of weeks ago had over 80% of people thinking it was Barny.
