Hey Baroness, Bad Luck, Most Ain't Falling For Your Scam

Britain's new High Comissioner, a former Labor politician, decides to meddle
in Australian politics - and in a field she knows nothing about:
"BRITAIN'S new high commissioner, Baroness Valerie Amos, has expressed
surprise that Australians are still debating whether humans cause climate
change and says other nations have long since 'moved on'."
"In her first public comments since arriving in Canberra three weeks ago,
Baroness Amos, a former leader of the House of Lords, said Australia was
well-positioned to lead the international community on climate change but
the public debate should move beyond scepticism and negativity to finding
solutions. "
"Her comments come days after a senior Liberal, Nick Minchin, said he and
most of his party colleagues believed man-made climate change was a myth."
Not only is Amos a Labour hack meddling in Australian politics by pushing
uninformed views, but she is wrong and arrogant to claim Britain has "moved
on".
True, her Government has bombarded voters with increasingly hysterical
scare-ads like this one:
Yet the British seem to be realising slowly that they are being conned:
"Less than half of Britons believe climate change will affect them during
their lifetime and fewer than a fifth think it will disturb their children,
a government survey showed Friday. "
"In the YouGov poll for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 69
percent of respondents said flooding would be the most likely consequence in
Britain, but only 26 percent believed the country was already feeling the
impact of climate change. "
" 'Recent research shows the public are unclear on what causes climate
change and what the effects are,' the department said."
But still the sceptics are dismissed as somehow deranged or evil people who
must be dealt with, rather than simply argued with, Melbourne ABC host Jon
Faine tells the Baroness that the sceptics are indeed causing "great
problems" here, and asks:
"What do we do about it?"
We?
Hmm, I feel your pain, Jon.
Warmest Regards

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."

She is a nig nog as well.
Should be in the sugar cane fields in Cairns, cutting the white man's sugar,
instead of giving us gratuitous advice.
