1 Aug 11 - (Excerpts) - Climate alarmists appear to be re-emerging in strength, after licking their wounds following the debacle of the Copenhagen Climate Summit. This is most noticeable in the resurgence of doomsday news releases, with carefully managed media darkly recording that wobbles in the world's temperature are solely due to man's folly. Much of this propaganda has been directed across the Tasman, no doubt to help Julia Gillard's struggle to seduce Australians into swallowing a carbon tax. Unlike New Zealanders - who appear more malleable when it comes to accepting vaporous concepts - Australians appear sceptical about their Government's proposals to hijack what many believe is an expensive fiction. Possibly the reason Aussies don't buy into carbon tax is because they have all read their fellow countryman's admirably comprehensive book, Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science, by Professor Ian Plimer. This volume, with thousands of scientific references on every aspect of climate change - through the history of the planet - is a must-read for those bewildered by climate contradictions. Global warming is factual, but is more about our solar system's normal progression than man's infinitesimal contribution, according to Plimer's rationale. His evidence is buried in the planet's geology, which clearly demonstrates that climate change is an ongoing natural phenomenon. One of the startling facts is how few times Earth has had ice caps.
