The government's economic adviser on climate change has welcomed Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's departure from what he says is the "ignorant side" of the emissions debate.

Ross Garnaut delivered his sixth update to his landmark 2008 report on Thursday with an observation that Australia was battling "an awful contest between knowledge and ignorance".

Asked to name names, the professor declined to criticise Mr Abbott, who once said climate change was "crap".

"I wouldn't put him on the ignorant side," Prof Garnaut told ABC television.

"Well, he obviously was on the ignorant side one day and the knowledge side the next.

"It wasn't a consistent message, but I'm very glad that the most recent statement is consistent with the science.

"It wouldn't be good for Australia for a senior political leader to not be accepting what the mainstream science is saying."

The amusing thing is they also demonise people - and rightly so - like the Catholic Church for suppressing counter opinions over the centuries, without even recognising they are doing the same thing themselves.
Funny though, I can't remember them demonising the communists too much.
We must be constantly on guard against the "pretend" democrats, who want only their opinions to be heard. They will take your freedom away faster than anyone . . . and the biggest danger comes from the Greens.

Boy you extreme right wackos have trouble with language, and definitions.
You constantly refer to refugees as illegals, which is an example of attempting to demonise a whole group of people, many of whom have suffered greatly, due to no fault of their own, and arose from the fact that a war was carried to their country, while you make a pathetic attempt to turn Climate Change Denialists into "victims", by claiming they are being demonised by the left.

The truth is far less sinister, they are not being demonised, they are being "RIDICULED", which is actually quite approproiate, because their posturing, and arguments, are, RIDICULOUS.

Comprende?
(I thought I would try out a different language, seeing that English is a bit of a struggle for some.)

It doesn't matter that Labor demonises anyone.
They are a bunch of inept incompetent Mr Magoo's bumbling and stumbling around from one policy disaster to another.
They have no credibility themselves, so them demonising anyone at all is just laughable.
And as far as the dodgy icy pole science and 'computer modelling' that they have put so much stock in is concerned, I get better info out of my tea leaves.
So someone had better be questioning these clowns whether they like it or not.
Because quite frankly Labors record in the last 3+ years has been absolutely woeful.

Don't forget the Evil Coalition of Lying Scientists will want their cut too, I mean it must cost a bomb to keep them all agreeing with the evil left wing conspiracy to destroy modern civilisation.
I think that is the current wisdom from the "skeptics" [sic], or maybe it was a Zionist conspiracy???
Anyway, it is reassuring to hear there are still those who are just too clever to listen to all those experts, who think that just because they are professional scientists, educated and active in the area of climate science, that they should expect their work be taken more seriously than anonymous bloggers promoting conspiracy theories.
AS IF.

Cor! What a bunch of sooks!

They can give it, but simply can't take it.

Don't know about the scientists wanting their 'cut', but they sure as hell will want their funding, and make no mistake it always comes down to money.
And do you really trust Labor to do anything worthwhile with the proceeds of their questionable air tax?
As if the dunderclumpers all took 'competent' pills last night.

I have no problem with anyone questioning the science of climate change....feel free to provide all the evidence available so people can make an informed decision.....People should never blindly accept anything that is said to them.....However as every government on Earth has agreed the science is correct and action is required I fail to see how they could all be so wrong......I do not think all these countries would be advocating such a drastic change in the world economy unless there was truth in it....why would they do this to there own economies if climate change was crap....I think it is more a case of seeking an advantage than accepting there is a problem.....The debate is being driven by self interest not the science???
