Apologise to Flannery?
The man has as much credibility as a Druid Soothsayer.
And they had a better prediction rate just by reading animals entrails.

So you support Abbott telling blatant lies

Far more than I could ever support Flannery's scaremongering and drivel.
The man's a scam artist.
The real question is will Flannery also buy a beachfront luxury $8.9 million villa in California.

Still waiting Creep.
I am not asking for Andrew Bolt's interpretations, where he tells you what "he thinks",Flannery has said, but actual links to Flannery making the claims that you have, seemingly falsely, attributed to him.

Once again it is a shame that you are unable to refer to the source that was quoted.
Shame that you have ignored Flannery's comments now that he has been proved wrong.
But you can keep your head in the sand, with the non-existant rains that we are having you won't have to worry about being drowned.

Nice article creep. Looks like Flannery is the kook Abbott said he was. No appology. Maybe Flannery should appologise to the Australian people.

Flannery mearly represents the research he undertakes.

BTW is "cods" and "progressiveslol" the same person?????? My guess is Yes.

AND YOU WOULD GUESS WRONG....AND YOU GUYS THINK YOUR ARE 'NEVER' WRONG DONT YOU?

back to Tim..

Mr Combet has paid tribute to the work of Professor Flannery, who has left the council after being named the new chief commissioner of the independent Climate Commission

DONT'CHA LOVE THAT WORD....'INDEPENDENT'

it has taken on a whole new meaning.

and just what we need another cLIMATE COMMISSION TO GIVE AS MUCH CREDENCE TO THE CARBON TAX AS POSSIBLE..yaaaaaaaawn

How the hell could this Flannery be promoted into such a position with such poor form historically, that creep has pointed out. My god, talk about nutters in labor.

Reply #33 - May 12^th, 2011 at 7:48am I wouldnt be suprised if this Flannery idiot got the states all riled up to buy desalination plants from what this idiot said. Another reason for him to appologise to the Australian people for wasting yet more of our money.

I suspect Flannery might have more credibility if even just one of his predictions came true.
Perhaps then, media people like Andrew Bolt etc wouldn't hammer Flannery for his lack of credibility.
The problem Astro isn't the media's way of reporting, or whether one 'likes' or trusts Andrew Bolt, it's Flannery and his wild statements.
A Druid Soothsayer 2000 years ago has had more luck reading animal entrails, than Flannery's 'science' which is really just guesswork.

And the other issue is how can one be a 'sceptic' when the subject of the scepticism is making wild predictions that have never happened.
If I told you Godzilla was going to romperstomp Tokyo next week, are you a 'sceptic' for thinking I'm a lefty nutter.

Creep, do you have anything to say about the actual topic of this thread? Do you think it is OK for Abbott to lie about Flannery because Flannery did not accurately predict when a drought would end?

Quote:

Is this the same Tim Flannery that stated that due to global warming that we'd not have any rain again and that the dams would never get to be filled?

You tell me creep. It sounds like the sort of thing Abbott would want his followers to repeat mindlessly. If you want to know the truth, you should always start with what he actually said.

creep, you did not quote Flannery.

What about you cods - anything to say on the actual topic?

So why was Abbott lying about what he said chicken?

Quote:

does anyone else notice when our friends from the hardleft get backed into a corner they start calling the libs names.....they will be sending Xmas cards next they seem to know us all.

Cods, accusing him of lying and asking for an apology is not the same as calling him names. It seems it is Abbott's supporters who feel backed into a corner, going by how desperate they are to change the topic and avoid quoting the man they are trying to bring down.

Let me get this straight - you think it is OK for the opposition leader to lie to the public about what Flannery said because you think Flannery is a scaremonger?

If Flannery is such an easy target, why do Bolt and the leader of the coalition have to lie about what he said?

Such as? So far none of Flannery's critics have actually quoted him.

I don't believe for a second that Flannery said what he supposedly said in the way he supposedly said it, not on Bolt's word. Bolt is a serial liar who consistently misrepresents and takes out of context comments by people he sees as the enemy. And of all topics his lies about climate change are the most glearing and egregious.

If you want to find me the REAL quotes in their ACTUAL context, I'd be more than happy to discuss them. But assuming that Bolt is telling the truth without any question is the very epitome of blind faith.

That's odd, the right get straight to the name calling right from the start. I suppose that means they are in a bad corner to start with.

I love how all the "gullible gerties" are instantly dismissive of anything said by Andrew Bolt but will swallow any load of "jizz" that the scam artist Tim Flannery squirts in their mouths. Then they revel in their anti science, anti intellectualism, like pigs wallowing in their own filth. I just bet that they are self stimulating whilst Flannery is unloading his "jizz".
