Gary Johnson to get Statue?

[Phil Allison]

Hi,

as you may know, Australia has just made an historic deal with the UK and USA to obtain nuclear submarine tech and to build several of them.
The previous French scammers have been pissed off.

This 2 year old vid shows the owner of Jaycar putting the case for doing just that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_QoRDYLym4

IMO Gary was a business rogue, but every dog has his day.

**Who gives fuck? Our PM is an insignificant shit-for-brains, who is
incapable of organising a piss-up in a brewery. We can only hope that
the religious nutter is consigned to history at the next election.

My opinion: Biden was a poor choice as POTUS. Too old. HOWEVER, there
was a worse choice for POTUS:

1. TW is totally *besotted* with AGW theory, has been for two decades.
2. The PM and former PM Abbot are not, like most sane people.
3. So he has an overwhelming need to hate them - just to keep face.

**"besotted", "for two decades"? Try FIVE decades. I've been reading
everything I can get my hands on about AGW theory since the early 1970s.
It was first postulated by my favourite mathematician, Fourier, back in
the first half of the 19th century. That hypothesis was confirmed by
Arrhenius, before the end of the 19th century. Despite more than 100
years of trying, deniers (like Abbott, Scummo, Bolt, Kelly, Jones,
Murdoch, Trump, et al) of AGW theory have been unable to prove Arrhenius
wrong. AGW theory is solid. If you wish to debate the subject with me, I
am always ready.

> 2. The PM and former PM Abbot are not, like most sane people.

**Both Scummo and Abbott are religious frutcakes. They both believe that
there is an invisible monster (aka: God), who lives in the sky and
performs magic tricks. At NO TIME, in the entire history of humanity,
has there been any verifiable evidence to show that such a monster
exists, or has ever existed. ANY person who subscribes to such beliefs
is clearly delusional. If you feel that such a monster exists, then you
need to seek psycho-therapy.

> 3. So he has an overwhelming need to hate them - just to keep face.

**"Hate"? No. Abbott and Scummo are clearly and provably incapable of
doing the job as PM of Australia. Both fucked up badly. I don't "hate"
them. I am, however, profoundly disappointed in those morons who kept
them in government.

> 4. TW is a poster boy for the Dunning Kruger effect ( Google it)
> 5. TW cannot justify any of his extreme ideas, not one.

**What "extreme ideas" do you refer to? AGW theory? You're on VERY thin
ice there. Feel free to discuss the issue with me. In the mean time,
spend a little effort here:

**Bullshit. The guys who were babbling on about 'global cooling' were
the imaginative writers of Time Magazine:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,944914,00.html

Time Magazine is not and has never been a scientific journal of note. It
is as credible, on matters of science, approximately as credible as a
Murdoch publication. Which is to say: Not at all.

NONE of the peer-reviewed science journals published such rubbish.

As I stated before:

Arrhenius proved that rising CO2 levels led to higher average
temperatures more than 100 years ago. NOT ONCE, in the intervening
120-odd years, has any credible evidence been put forward to disprove
Arrhenius' theory.

If you think you can, then you may be eligible for a Nobel Prize, like
the one that Arrhenius won.

Over to you: Present your evidence that every single climate scientist
on the planet is wrong.

**In Greenland? First I heard about that. Grapes are grown all over the

Just like astrology, it makes vague predictions based on arbitrary hypotheses - which you can believe in it or not.

Astrologers use star maps and other astronomy data.
Global warmies use computer models and other people's data, cherry picked.

How odd that with the massive rise in CO2 levels that we have seen,

and haven't returned to what the romans saw in england etc.

Like I said: What happened in an insignificant corner of the planet a

Just throwing it out there, but the possible reason why the Poms stopped
growing grapes, is because the drunken Italians left and the Poms went
back to beer. And, if you've ever tasted Pommy wines, you'll understand
why the Poms drink beer.

As you are no doubt aware, methane is around 20 TIMES more potent as a
GHG than CO2. There are billions of Tonnes of CO2 in permafrost regions.
As the methane is released, then greenhouse effects will increase. This
will lead to more warming and more methane release. Allied with this,
will be the release of CO2 from the oceans, as the oceans warm further.
At some point, the effect will be impossible to reverse. Then we will be
fucked.

**If you meant to say: Highly qualified climate SCIENTISTS, then I
agree. The first one was Arrhenius. His proof that CO2 was a cause of
warming has never been challenged successfully. Not once, not ever. If
you and Rod think you can, then have at it.

**Again: LOCAL climate variations are not significant. Europe is local.
England, more so. More importantly, scientists are uncertain of the
causes of such a localised climate variation. OTOH, climate scientists
KNOW why the planet has warmed since the start of the industrial
revolution. Fourier supplied the hypothesis. Arrhenius developed a
credible theory, which has never been challenged.

> ======================================

**Here's the thing:

Sometimes temperatures on this planet have risen for various reasons.
Increasing Solar flux, for instance. Sometimes temperatures have risen
due to increases in GHGs. When CO2 levels rise, temperatures follow.
Always. When temperatures rise, CO2 levels follow. Always.

Right now and for the past couple of centuries, we have witnessed a
rapid rise in CO2 levels. Temperature rise has followed. As temperatures
rise still further, we will witness a rise in CO2 outgassing from the
oceans (as they, too, warm). No mystery there. We are also witnessing a
rapid increase in methane from permafrost regions as they warm. The
methane release is VERY serious, as methane is roughly 20 times more
potent a GHG than CO2. Fortunately, methane does not last as long as CO2
in the atmosphere (roughly 20 years vs. 1,000 years), but there is a
large amount buried.

So, it kinda goes like this:

CO2 rise > temperature rise
Temperature rise > CO2 levels rise
CO2 rise > temperature rise
Temperature rise > methane levels AND CO2 levels rise
Methane and CO2 rise > temperature rise.

The positive feedback effects continue.

Because that is the evidence of significantly higher temperatures

improved things for civilisation at that time and we didn’t see any

**You may continue to use a localised climate variation to allow
yourself to continue to deny science, if that's what floats you boat.
However, until you explain the following:

* Why the warming period occurred.
* What will cause the present warming trend to reverse.

Then you are in deep shit. The ONLY known cause of the present warming
is due to the influence of excessive CO2 levels. Even Solar flux is
somewhat lower in the present cycle. When the Solar cycles resume, we
can expect the warming to accelerate. That may occur on the next cycle,
or in a hundred cycles. No one knows.

**So? That was not what he was investigating. He proved that rising CO2
levels lead to rising temperatures. Much later, climate scientists have
discovered that rising temperatures, lead to rising CO2 (and methane)
levels.

The positive feedback will continue, until the feedback loop is broken.
IOW: CO2 emissions are dramatically curbed.
