Australian Politics Forum - Another 'Climate Change' failure...

Dec 12^th, 2010 at 7:36pm Following in the tradition of Copenhagen 2009, Cancun 2010 has been held in record cold while trying to somehow find a solution to Global 'Warming'. As far as anyone can tell the only agreement was to meet agani next year and waste, time money and emit more CO2. A complete waste of time and even by UN standards, a disaster.

A complete waste of time and even by UN standards, a disaster.

The Federal Government and environment groups say the outcome of climate talks in Cancun, paves the way for Australia to introduce a carbon price as soon as possible.

Delegates from almost 200 countries agreed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, establish a multi billion dollar green fund and share technology.
Australia's Climate Change Minister Greg Combet says there needs to be some common sense shown by the opposition on climate change.

"And some national interest and some responsibility taken by Tony Abbott to support efforts to get a carbon price into our economy," he said.

Mr Combet has welcomed the deal but says Australia cannot participate in forums like Cancun if it is not doing more at home.

He says it now has to show common sense and a bit of respect for the scientific evidence.

"It's very good news on the climate change front, but there's a long way to go too - and back in Australia we've got to get a carbon price into place," he said.

"We have a responsibility internationally: you can't come to the international forum here and participate in important agreements like the Cancun agreement, and then not go home and do our best to meet our emission reduction obligations."

spin, spin, spin... Cancun agreed on NOTHING of substance. And combet is just using the conference as yet another lame attempt at justifying breaking a CORE ELECTION PROMISE.

It was more than "just" cold, rather a week of blizzards in a tropcial location!!!
More like for a global cooling conference.

Does it come natural or is it an effort to portray such a mentally challenged persona on some subjects but quite a reasonable knowledge on others?
Do you find it hinders getting a point across when wanting to?
There is no IRONY here as "Global Warming" has been changed to "CLIMATE CHANGE" to void silly time wasting arguments such as the one you so eagerly present,
"OH, It's cold so therefore it's all a lie by a left wing world government conspiracy"
The build up of CO2 in the atmosphere will cause extreme climate events on both ends of the scale i.e HOT & COLD
