Second that violin. Give Brown and all of our leaders the absolute worst possible from all angles.

I've got no problem with Uhlmann giving Brown "a hard time". I just think he's a denialist front bottoms.

Well, I think Brown and his acolytes are alarmist c**ts.

Yes but you can't explain why, you just think that science is all lies because people whose politics you share told you that it is all just a big conspiracy and that out there, somewhere, there is evidence that AGW is all lies, yet you're unable to actually present said evidence. Funny that.

Second that violin. Give Brown and all of our leaders the absolute worst possible from all angles.

I've got no problem with Uhlmann giving Brown "a hard time". I just think he's a denialist front bottoms.

Well, I think Brown and his acolytes are alarmist c**ts.

Yes but you can't explain why, you just think that science is all lies because people whose politics you share told you that it is all just a big conspiracy and that out there, somewhere, there is evidence that AGW is all lies, yet you're unable to actually present said evidence. Funny that.

CO2 is not the on/off switch for the climate. Many elements and interactions that make up 'climate' are not well understood. Attrributing causation of climate change to human CO2 is simply unprovable at present.

The rest is politics.

Many, huh? Such as?

No it's not.

Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming

Well, at least you admit it. For the rest of us it's about the science.

But nothing you've said here comes close to constituting anything about anything, it's just you voicing some unfounded, unsubstantiated and untenable opinions based on your political leanings.

"Destruction" ...nah, Bob Brown is a surviver... in fact in the 'hate Murdoch press' interview Bob implyed that he would work as leader of the greens well into his 80's... the girls must be pleased..

Yep, Bob Brown is the best leader of the Greens that we could wish for. Here's a reminder of some of his stella work -

CHRIS UHLMANN: ..... How would you replace the $50 billion a year in export income which comes by way of coal - an industry that you'd shut down?

BOB BROWN: Well, a lot of that money is bouncing straight back out to shareholders overseas. Now what we're...

CHRIS UHLMANN: A lot of that money is circulating in the economy. It's creating job, Senator, it's bouncing through to our cities.

BOB BROWN: Yes, Chris, and what we would do is take the advice of the Treasury of this nation and recoup the $145 billion over the next 10 years through a super profits tax. Tony Abbott says...

CHRIS UHLMANN: But you can't recoup it if you shut the industry down.

BOB BROWN: Treasury...

CHRIS UHLMANN: If you shut the coal industry down there won't be that money...

BOB BROWN: I'm sorry...

OMG there is actually a petition by loonies because their booby got asked the hard questions. I suggest they get out of politics, because it is a tough game when you have to answer questions on your own words and policies.

What a bunch of cry babies.

The point that Brown was destroyed, is a little extreme.
The fact that he was shown up as just another disingenuous politician, by refusing to admit to his role in forcing the introduction of the Carbon Tax, was what was the most damaging aspect of his performance, in my view..
If he believes in a Carbon Tax, he should have accepted responsibility, and sought to provide his reasoning for the scheme.

Politics is tough, but we do deserve better, we do deserve some honesty, and I think the disappointment for many is that they thought the greens would be more likely to be honest.
Apparently that is not always going to be the case.

Sorry I missed it, Brown came off looking a real goose after that.
Brown should be happy though that it was announced yesterday that the Xstrata copper refinery in Townsville is to close in 2016, putting all out of work.
