At last, an Aussie politician talks sense...
Family First senator Steve Fielding has made up his mind on global warming - there's not enough evidence that it's real.
After talks with the Government and top scientists, Senator Fielding, who holds a crucial Senate vote, has released a document setting out his position.
"Global temperature isn't rising," it says.

Finally.
Plus the other independent also started talking sense and asked for modeling of different scenarios.
There is hope that reason will pprewail and Australia will be an example to the world.

Or, at the very best, the man made part is:
A: A small component of the problem
B: Only solvable on a world wide scale anyway, which isn't going to happen.
The carbon credit thing wouldn't do anything to solve it in any case, it's a scam.

Man-made GW is a left-wing wet dream, which is why our socialist government is so keen to get this legislation through parliament.

I like the attitude of both of these independent Senators. Instead of being a slave to voting on party lines, they are taking the time to investigate issues and draw a reasoned and informed conclusion about how they should vote on the issue. Politics should be more like this instead of the bun throwing of the bi-partisan system...

I can't quite believe what I am reading...
Ok - so even IF global warming was not deemed anthropogenic, does that mean we should keep raping the environment?
