The more I read on climate theory perspectives the more I realise the issue has more to do with politics/$$$ and less to do with the environment.

I’m not saying that there’s NO environmental impact ... I’m merely making an observation about the different lenses one might use to view the debate. And the lenses we choose may well explain why there is so much disagreement.

Why do you disagree with the theories being pushed by the Liberal National Party?


I thought it was only ONE Senator.

He appears to assume that the earth's atmosphere has a fixed volume and the GHG's we are releasing are compressing the atmosphere, which causes it to heat up, for the same reason the air in a bicycle pump heats up when you compress it.


"CLIMATE predictions for many regions of the world may have to be rethought, following the discovery that global warming may have a bigger effect on air pressure than anyone thought."

It then becomes a chicken/egg scenario.

It is quite ok to say we don't know. Wink


Are you changing your mind about whether you agree with his crackpot theory?

Another nutty one from the LNP senator. This is like turning up to a cemetery, discovery graves, and declaring that whatever lunacy you want to promote, like ethnic cleansing, is entirely normal.

Coral Reefs are just a pile of dead coral skeletons with the living coral on the top and sides. The process of growth and death has been repeated thousands of times. The reefs are flat topped plateaus, 50 to 100 m high, on the wide plain of the “continental shelf”. The tops are at sea level and they have very steep sides. When biologists document mass coral death by a bleaching event, crown of thorns starfish plagues, or cyclones, it is just part of the natural scheme of things.

Let everyone know what point you have so far failed to make. Roll Eyes

According to what you quoted it could be -

Coral reefs are not made of dead corals

They are not flat topped plateaus

The tops are not at sea level

They don't have steep sides

Bleaching is not a natural event

Nor are Crown-of-Thorns starfish

Nor are cyclones.

Seven choices. Pick at least one.

I was wondering what kind of strategy a major party could see in treating its supporters like imbeciles.

This is how badly the LNP wanted to get rid of him:

Renegade senator sues his own party

https://au.news.yahoo.com/renegade-senator-sues-own-party-063333992.html

Renegade LNP Senator Gerard Rennick has launched legal action against his own party after he was booted off the senate ticket during an internal party ballot.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, Nationals Leader David Littleproud and even Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner are among the prominent LNP figures named in Senator Rennick’s lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court in Brisbane several weeks ago.

A judge will now deliberate if Senator Rennick is entitled to appeal the preselection bid following a hearing on Friday.

Senator Rennick was first elected to the senate in 2019 and gained a reputation as an outspoken critic of the efficacy of vaccines during the Morrison government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Senator Rennick lost his position on the LNP’s senate ticket during an internal ballot at the party’s state conference in Brisbane last July.

During Friday’s hearing, the court was told Senator Rennick stood for the third spot on the ticket and lost by just three votes to party treasurer Stuart Fraser.

Senator Rennick’s attempts to appeal the preselection were denied after the LNP State Council determined his appeal was not lodged within the statutory 60 day time frame.

“Much of the evidence relied upon by the senator paints a picture of a state council meeting which was run in an unprofessional manner,” Michael Stewart KC, representing Senator Rennick, said.

The court was told people eligible to vote for senators at State Council, under the party’s constitution, were usually given different coloured lanyards and those entitled to vote were “physically segregated”.

Mr Stewart said neither of these occurred on this occasion.

Reading from Senator Rennick’s affidavit, he said his client was given a voting paper by an LNP employee, despite the fact he was not eligible to vote.

“He properly rejected this,” Mr Stewart said.

Mr Rennick further alleges one person was ineligible to vote at the time of the ballot as she had not paid her party fees on time, but was still able to cast a vote in the ballot.

Senator Rennick – who was seated in the back of the court watching proceedings on Friday – is seeking declarations that he is entitled to appeal this ballot and his appeal was not lost by the expiration of time.

LNP director Ben Riley, president Lawrence Springborg, Mr Littleproud, Mr Schrinner, LNP state leader David Crisafulli, Mr Dutton and former federal Attorney-General George Brandis are among the respondents named in the lawsuit.

“It is our submission there’s a very strong case with contending with the appeal,” Mr Stewart said.

In his submissions, Mr Stewart said there was nothing in the LNP constitution which gave Senator Rennick the right of any further address.

“All he can do is what he was attempting to do in pursuing his appeal, which has been thwarted by the state executive,” Mr Stewart said.

Peter Dunning, representing the respondents, told the court the matter was not about a senate position and preselection.

“It’s about is there a time where a notice of appeal can be lodged and, if so, what is it?” He said.

Mr Dunning argued Senator Rennick’s application fails because the dispute was not justiciable in the Supreme Court.

“(It’s) no more, no less than what the internal rules can mean when it comes to your right of appeal,” he said.

“This controversy isn’t about preselection.”

Mr Dunning said Senator Rennick had also not “exhausted” any options for an internal review process with his party, including the possibility of seeking further directions from the State Council of the LNP.

“Having not done that, the court should not countenance this application,” he said.
Supreme Court Justice Glenn Martin is considering his decision.
