Climate Change and Snow

Way back in the year 2000, yes it was a long time ago, it was reported in England by a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (yes that's the same one that brought us Climategate) said that Winter was basically over for the world. Yes we can look back on these words of wisdom that has bought us a Cap and Trade, Carbon tax's, Carbon trading, and nearly an Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) in Australia. Can anyone remember this, it was reported all over the world. Incase some have forgotten, have a read:-

Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white January's and February's.

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

All this and much, much more was reported in The Independent in March 2000.

Experts warned freezing winds would sweep across Eastern parts of England bringing up to 10cm of snow and sending temperatures crashing below zero. Mirror November 2008.

Finally someone got a bit sick and tired of all the wrong information that Britain's Met Office come under fire. The Sunday Times 2010

There are of course a lot more, but I'm sure you get the picture, exactly the same thing has been happening in America as well, people get told one thing, you are supposed to believe it, but you find a few years down the track, it just wasn't right.

All these people have since got smarter, and now they make their predictions for 2020/2050, these seem to be the magic dates now. Anyway Australia's snow is going to be that thin that it is going to melt the minute it hits the ground, hence no more skiing.

2008 in Australia, and we have headlines from the ABC:- Global Warming to shorten ski season:-CSIRO.

There's going to be shorter snow seasons, not as much depth of snow on the ground, with that situation deteriorating further as we go through the century. ABC May 2008.

Winter comes Early Mt Baw Baw has been blanketed with more than 30cm of fresh snow as eager snowboarders take to the slopes well ahead of the official opening to the ski season.
Herald Sun May 2011.

The latest of course is now Climate Change brings snow as well,but isn't the idea of a carbon tax, cap and trade etc. to stop the world from warming? I feel they were left scratching their heads and this is the best they could come up with. Must keep that money coming in at all cost.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus:- National Press Club (Australia)

Czech President also interviewed on the Bolt Report.

A very good interview with the President on MTR Radio. The President talks about climate change, Europe, and the debt in America. Listen here.

What I find that is really embarrassing for Australia, is that our Prime Minister, Julia Gillard refused to meet the President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus, why you might ask, I can only assume it is because he does not believe in man-made Climate Change. Sure the President was not here on an official visit but that is no excuse not to make a President of another Country feel welcome in Australia, I dread to think of what the people in the Czech Republic think about us.

Yet our PM did meet the former PM of Britain Tony Blair, he is a firm believer in man-made climate change? (When someone is getting paid just for this purpose it does make one wonder), it really does beggar belief. So if you don't agree with the same things as our PM and you happen to come to Australia you are going to be snubbed. What makes this even worse is Tony Blair is of course getting paid Millions to try to change people's and Governments minds on climate change.

The former prime minister will be paid at least £700,000 a year to act as a “strategic adviser” to Khosla Ventures, a venture capitalist firm founded by Indian billionaire Vinod Khosla. The Californian company bankrolls businesses hoping to profit from technology that helps reduce global warming and carbon emissions.
London Evening Standard.

There is a very good article written in the paper by Miranda Devine I feel it is well worth a read if you haven't already read this piece.

In a Sydney hotel on Monday night, Czech President Vaclav Klaus, an economist who fought against communism, was warning of the new threats to our freedom he recognises in the doctrine of global warming.

Almost simultaneously, in a Hobart casino, Greens Senator Christine Milne was unilaterally announcing, on ABC TV’s Q&A show, that the government would be conducting an inquiry into that section of the Australian media that she finds “extreme(ly) bias(ed) against action on climate change”.

Broncos Leagues Club Won't Allow Freedom of Speech

Lord Monckton (Climate Sceptic) had a venue booked at the Broncos here in Brisbane as part of his speaking tour in Australia. The Broncos have seen fit to cancel on Lord Monckton, the reasons given was that a number of members complained, and they were not happy with Lord Monckton calling Ross Garnaut a Nazi, Lord Monckton has apologized for saying this, in the newspapers as well as radio and TV, but it seems the club may have been fooled, GetUp seems to be involved in getting this shut down. Apparently it was on GetUp web site, since taken down, so that really does speak volumes I feel.

Screen shot of the now deleted item from GetUp. More screen shots here.
(Click screenshot for larger view)

It is hard to believe a club like this will not allow Freedom of Speech, and I certainly hope any members will let it be known that we are supposed to be a Democracy here in OZ. How gullible are these people that are supposed to be in charge of this club, they really should feel ashamed, and I certainly hope they lose a lot of members over this.
It is certainly not a club that I would want to associate with anymore, and I will not be going back there, and I have e-mailed and phoned to let them know exactly how I feel.

If you would like to let the club know how you feel, you can e-mail the club at info@broncosleagues.com.au. or you can ring the Broncos Leagues Club Venue Feedback Ph: (07) 3858 9003


Leon Byner speaks to Lord Monckton about the Federal Governments proposed carbon tax and its impact on all Australians

Tickets had already been sold through ticketek to a lot of people, so it was already to go, fully organized, before the club decided against it. It is a scary thought to know that hard left activists can shut down a venue just like that, and even scarier to know that the people from the Broncos allowed it. What is happening to our Country?

From Stop Gillard's Carbon Tax
Selective Free Speech on Display at the Broncos
In the Middle Ages they would have burned him. In the 1930’s they would be content with burning his books. Today they are content withdrawing their venues preventing him from speaking. What wonderful progress we are making.Read more here.

It seems a lot of people know GetUp was behind it all except the Bronco's, they are in damage control.

The Australian Government is now offering $250,000 to any organizations that can convince the public we need a carbon tax. Known as a Climate Change Grant Program.
Tim Blair

It does seem like the warmists are running scared, why are they so afraid of people hearing the other side of the debate on climate change? Could it have something to do with all the money that is involved, after all we are talking about just under $12 Billion paid to the Government in the first year of the carbon tax.

"No Carbon Tax" Rally Brisbane 7th May (Pictures)

I went to the rally here in Brisbane yesterday, and I must say that I was a bit disappointed with the amount of people that was there. By the newspapers there was around 300 to 400 people that showed up. To be honest it didn't seem like that many, but it was a large area, and I am terrible at judging things like that.

I thought there would of been a lot more people seeing as how it was a Saturday. People I talk to are complaining about this Carbon Tax, complaining about it isn't going to do much good, we all have to stick together and do what we can to try and stop it. The small amount of people that showed up didn't really make it newsworthy at all I felt. Saying all that, it was very well organized, and the speakers were fantastic. Also 10 out 10 for all those people that made the effort to be at the rally.

There is an article about the Brisbane rally in the Courier Mail

Responding to a Newspoll survey in The Australian yesterday, which showed Labor's primary vote at 33 per cent and her own satisfaction rating at a new low of 38 per cent, Ms Gillard conceded she had "a lot of hard work to do as Prime Minister".
Mr Abbott - whose satisfaction rose six percentage points to 42 per cent in the past month as he campaigned against the carbon tax - said the "field evidence" was that people were concerned about the rising cost of living and the carbon tax

A great speech by Jennifer Marohasy who has also written about the rally in her Blog

Someone decided to do a banner, the type the press love to down the "No Carbon Tax" rallies on.

But as you can see others were smarter and started covering the banner up. (Good on you guys)

If you look behind the stage, the banner is now completely covered. (Well Done)



There is also an article in the UK papers about Australia fighting against the Carbon Tax.

In Australia the carbon tax tabled by the Labor government is struggling to gain acceptance. Every week sees another industrial pressure group come out against the bill.
There have been demonstrations all over the country, led by "shock jock" radio broadcasters, focusing on the prime minister, Julia Gillard. Her poll ratings have dropped steadily since the bill was launched in February. Read the full story in guardian.co.uk.

I had a great day at the rally, all the speeches were fantastic, and I got Hubby and myself  No Carbon Tax
 t-shirts, I talked to some really nice people, it was a good couple of hours.

What a bunch of Liars these people in Government have turned out to be, whether you believe in Climate Change or not doesn't matter, what matters is this should of been done at an election, the Australian people should be able to have a vote on this, after all it is going to change not only our lives but our lifestyle as well.

I feel that our PM should put the idea of a Carbon Tax on the agenda in the next election, not just thrust it onto the people, it is not right, it is also undemocratic, what is she afraid of?

If you are against a Carbon Tax, Menzies House is running a petition.

UPDATE-The protest rallies are now up and running and organized, for those that are interested the times and dates are on the petition web page up the top under Rallies..

A bit of thought to leave everyone with. Our ex PM now our Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has brought a beautiful house at Noosa Heads. Now I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, I wish I could buy a nice 5 bedroom house on the beach too, what I think is wrong with this, is this is the guy that pushed and pushed for Australia to have an Emission Trading Scheme, a true believer in Climate Change.

But it seems maybe not, a house on the beach, (rising seas ring a bell) fully Air Con (everyone must conserve power we were told, and turn off your a/c) and to top it off a heated swimming pool. Is this a case of do as I say not as I do?

UK, America and the Green Police (2 Video's)

Well I see by the papers that the UK is having a bit of a rough time over there concerning their rubbish bins.
Certain council's have introduced 5 rubbish bins for each household, I mean it just sounds ridiculous, but true. After the councils did this they started receiving complaints. The first day the council received 6,000 complaints, I'm surprised there wasn't more. There was an article about it all in Mail Online.

In another area there are 6 rubbish bins per household, and for some people without front yards this causes a lot of problems, where on earth are they going to put all the bins, well they seem to be scattered wherever people can find the room to put them. One lady who was trying to sell her home said all the rubbish bins have devalued her home, I can understand why, it looks like she is going to sue over it.
The story is in Mail Online, there is also a great picture in here of all the bins as well, and if you scroll down further there is a funny cartoon.


Now of course they want to fine people 1,000 pound for using the wrong bin, of course this is to keep the greenhouse gas emissions down, you always know if it involves money Climate Change will be front and center, that way it makes people feel good about handing out more money. A funny cartoon in this article as well.


Oh and let us not forget the microchips that some council's are putting in the rubbish bins so that they can keep track of how much you are throwing out.


And also in America.
