77% = Humans 'ARE' Causing Climate Collapse
Sep 26th, 2016 at 9:20am
 
Public support for Australia to be a world leader in climate change solutions has rebounded to its highest since the major political parties agreed on emissions trading, research shows.

About 65 per cent of the nation desire to see Australia lead the world in solutions, an increase from 52 per cent in 2010-12 when the "carbon tax" debate was front and centre in politics.

The annual attitudinal study by the Climate Institute shows this year's jump, up from 59 per cent in 2014-15.

It's the closest it's been to the 76 per cent support in 2007 when then prime minister John Howard announced an emissions trading scheme.
Institute chief executive John Connor says the results show support is recovering from the carbon tax scare campaign.

The study also found 77 per cent of Australians believe climate change is happening, up from 64 per cent four years ago and 70 per cent last year.


Just three per cent say coal is their preferred energy source for Australia.
And 77 per cent believe state governments should bring in incentives for more renewable energy.

The study also found people desired climate policy to be bipartisan, with 90 per cent believing the responsibility for action rests with the federal government.

The weirdoh Greenies_Lose is on the good stuff again raving and ranting out of control.

In other words a normal Greenie.

Banging away on the FAKE Global Warming fiasco again.

Pathetic Pauline Propagandist is blind to the science and public opinion ... just like zero nation senators.

Pathetic Pauline would be proud of your ignorance Juliar.
You's a girl of her mould.

Julia Gillard repeals Carbon Tax

Australia: April 1, 2012

Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard has announced she will be repealing Australia’s $23 per tonne Carbon Tax, which was due to be implemented on 1 July 2012.

She said it was embarrassing trying to defend her climate change advisors whose predictions kept failing. “It’s one thing when experts make predictions and they are slightly wrong,” she said “but when the complete opposite happens, then there is something drastically wrong.  It’s clear to me now that the sun drives climate change. The Carbon Tax will therefore not be implemented on 1 July.”

She was referring to the numerous predictions made of permanent drought in Australia due to man made global warming. Australia has since experienced record breaking flooding. Also 2011 was Australia’s coldest year in a decade, defying an established trend to higher temperatures.

“All funds to man-made climate change research will be stopped with immediate effect” she said “instead, the millions of dollars will be put into cancer research. With this massive increase in funding to cancer research, we expect to find a cure for cancer within the next 5 years.”

The BIG FUDGE



Climate change study predicts refugees fleeing into Antarctica
By Urmee Khan Last Updated: 12:01pm BST 13/10/2008

Climate change will force refugees to move to Antarctica by 2030, researchers have predicted.

‘1bn climate change refugees by 2050’
Climate change ‘may put world at war’
‘Climate change: adapt to it, don’t fight it’

Among future scenarios are the Olympics being held in cyberspace and central Australia being abandoned, according to the think tank report.

Refugees could move to the Antarctica due to rising global temperatures.

Forum for the Future, a research body committed to sustainable development, said they wanted to stir debate about how to avert the worst effects of global warming by presenting a radical set of ‘possible futures’.

There will be a shift towards greater energy efficiency, where desalination plants will run on solar power will turn the Sahara green.

Refugees are expected to move to Antarctica because of the rising temperatures that will see the population of the continent increase to 3.5 million people by 2040.


As the world fails to act on climate change, researchers predict that global trade will collapse as oil prices break through $400 a barrel and electrical appliances will get automatically turned off when households exceed energy quotas.

Peter Madden, head of the Forum, said: “We still have the chance to alter the future. This is what the world could be like and some of these options are not very pleasant.”

Australia and Oklahoma will be abandoned because of water shortages and athletes will stay at home in the world’s first virtual Olympics, competing against each other in virtual space with billions of spectators.


The climate study envisages a shift to a service based economy, people no longer owning cars but using bicycles and the eastern seaboard of the United States being protected by an eco-concrete wall that generates power from waves and tidal surges.

Mr Madden said that most reports about climate change focused on scientific findings about carbon dioxide emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, without taking account of psychological or social responses.

“Historians of the future may look back on these as the ‘climate change years’,” he said. “They will either look back on our generation as heroes or view us with incomprehension and disgust – as now we look back on those who allowed slavery.”

He said the crystal ball survey did not seek to project what was most likely to happen, just some of the possibilities.

Flanno epitomizes the lies that are the FAKE Global Warming HOAX.


Michael of Dubbo POSTED AT 9:10 AM MAY 15, 2012
"Its a land of drought and flooding rains" Tim you are a genius!!

Brett of Climate Change Central POSTED AT 9:09 AM MAY 15, 2012
Tim Flannery, here is a solution to your problem, if these so called 'mega bush fires' happen, it is ok, because the 1.1m rise in sea levels wil put out the fires no problems. As we will not be allowed to live anywhere near the coast, we will all be living alot closer to the fresh water of the great divide, so we wil not need de-sal plants.

morph of Sydney POSTED AT 9:05 AM MAY 15, 2012
Hey Tim I would like you to pay for the $1bn Sydney desal plant we don't need




Slippery when wet - Tim Flannery's climate warnings questioned after recent flooding

More doom and gloom ... Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery / Pic: Alan Pryke

FIVE years ago, Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery predicted that the nation's dams would never be full again and major Australian cities would need desalination plants to cater for our water needs.

Yesterday, in his latest report, he said "climate change cannot be ruled out" as a factor in recent flooding rains, which led to some of those dams overflowing.

The apparent contradiction accompanies predictions that heatwaves, made worse by concrete, asphalt and buildings, will cause deaths and violence in western Sydney.

And just weeks before the carbon tax is due to come into effect and drive up electricity prices by 10 per cent, Professor Flannery's fellow commissioner Lesley Hughes said elderly people who cannot afford airconditioning were most at risk from the surge in temperatures.

Other claims in the report include that Sydney Airport will be flooded by a 1.1m sea level rise and catastr- ophic bushfires will happen more often.


Professor Flannery was quizzed at a press conference to launch the report yesterday on whether people would believe the latest round of predictions or if he thought some of his past predictions about rainfall and dams had been wrong.

"I've been really consistent with what I've said, which is that we've got a water problem in this country," he said.

"It's a land of drought and flooding rains. Just because we've had a few wet years doesn't mean that the problem is solved."

In 2007, he claimed Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane urgently needed desalination plants because rainfall levels were not enough to fill dams
.

Despite recent floods, the commission says droughts and excess rains will persist with Australia's south getting drier.

Professor Flannery blamed the GFC for any waning of public support for climate action but he believed people still felt strongly about the issue.

"People have got immediate short term concerns," he said. "Quite rightly, they're front of mind for most people.

"It doesn't mean they give away the long term issues they've got to deal with."

Fellow commissioner Will Steffen said there had been "a lot of confusion and misinformation" and he likened the climate to being on "steroids" and said droughts and rain events in future would be more severe.

The commissioners will face a town hall meeting at Parramatta RSL club tonight.

Poor Greenies_Lose is so flabbergasted by the TRUTH all she can do is copy the previous post for no apparent reason and then scribble some dribble.

Like most naive gullible technically obtuse Greenies she does not have a clue and just parrots lying Greenie propaganda.

The truth is over 77% oppose the ignorance of pathetic pauline and her posse.

23% to educate, so to shut down pathetic pauline's anti science propaganda.

Australian Prime Minister announces carbon dioxide tax and temperatures in Australia plummet!

Australian Prime Minister announces carbon dioxide tax and temperatures in Australia plummet!

Wow, Australian PM Julia (or Juliar as she is called in Aus) Gillard announces her carbon dioxide tax to stop global warming and temperatures drop! Can we cancel the tax now Juliar.

Via Weatherzone

Much of southern Queensland experienced its coldest night in several years as temperatures plumetted five to 10 degrees below average.

The coldest area was inland, where frost was severe. In the Maranoa, Roma dipped to minus five degrees, their coldest night in 14 years.



Now that Julia Gillard has stopped global warming, we have seen some immediate benefits, like the decrease in crime in the Australian capital of Canberra…

Via The Canberra Times

Canberra: too cold for crime
Cold weather over the weekend has helped keep the number of criminal incidents a little lower than usual, as people opted to stay indoors.

Poor Greenies_Lose's technical inadequacy is on display for all to see.

But Greenies_Lose assures us all that she is a climate/weather hexspurt!!!

You know they are lost as soon as they dredge up the old weather vs climate dribble.


For those who aren’t familiar with Professor Tim Flannery, he is a (well paid government funded) joke here in Australia. A few years back, he preached that global warming would cause permanent drought in Australia, “so even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems …”. Since then we have had nothing but floods floods floods!

Based on Flannery’s past prediction failures, I suggest that if you live in Western Sydney, that you buy some warm clothes and invest in some serious heating!

THE nation's leading climate change expert has again warned of dire weather events - but this time his predictions centre on western Sydney.

Headed by Chief Commissioner Professor Tim Flannery, the Climate Commission predicts mental health complaints will be worse during the predicted heat waves.

The commission said western suburbs were suffering from "an urban island heat effect" with concrete, buildings and asphalt raising temperatures by 1C to 2C.

The commission's Professor Lesley Hughes said last night deaths should also be expected if the forecasts of more severe heatwaves were realised.

The horror predictions in the report come after a cool summer with the longest run of days under 30C in 15 years.

"We know mortality goes up in heatwaves. If we get heat waves in western Sydney, yes, we would expect to see that (deaths)," Prof Hughes said.

Asked about mental health and other impacts raised in the report, she said heatwaves led to surges in violence.

"The police actually know, this was brought out in our previous report, when you get several days of extreme hot weather, they have more problems, there's more violence, people are cranky and prone to violent outbursts," she said.

Heat combined with poorer air quality could mean hospitals, which already experienced more emergency cases on hot days, recorded a 40 per cent jump in admissions from 2020-30 and a 200 per cent increase from 2050-60, the commission will claim, based on a report from 2008.

If extreme weather caused power outages, the climate scientists feared serious health impacts if blackouts caused "food to spoil due to improper refrigeration, or be contaminated due to inadequate cooking, leading to illness".

The report said hot days had already increased 60 per cent in western Sydney since 1970 and days in Sydney above 35C would balloon from 3.3 in 2008 to 14 in 2100.

From 1970 to 2011, the number of days over 35C in NSW jumped by up to 7.5 per decade.

Prof Hughes said the cooler, wetter summer was a case of day-to-day weather.

However she said the warnings were based on long term analysis of climate change.

But James Cook University Adjunct Professor Bob Carter, an environmental scientist, rubbished the predictions.

"So what. There is always going to be more or fewer hot days per decade," he said.

He claimed forecasting models to project warming, used by the UN, were wrong and that claims made about the start of this century had proven wrong.

"Those same computer models predicted there would be two-tenths of a degree of warming between the turn of the century and 2010 - in fact we had no warming at all.

"If you bring it out to 2012, we have had a slight cooling."


The Climate Commission report will be released today ahead of a forum with Prof Flannery, Prof Hughes and fellow Commissioner Will Steffen at Parramatta RSL club tomorrow night.
