		<description>The peoples call upon &lt;strong&gt;The Queen &lt;/strong&gt;is not about the pros and cons of a carbon tax.

It is about the disempowerment of the democracy of the Australian Electorate between Elections.

Our natural and legal Democracy including the Constitution, give the Electorate certain rights including making a peoples call upon The Queen to use her &lt;strong&gt;Section 59 power.
&lt;/strong&gt;
The peoples call is not political but a defense of our Democracy.

		<description>Blog code request: 
I respectfully request that robot tags/classes be added to this web site to prevent Google from including the &quot;recent comments&quot; section of the right hand navigation bar from being indexed for every page.
There does not seem to be a definite way of achieving this, the nearest I&#039;ve heard about is adding a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=426b5842f81e96ec&amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;robots-noindex&quot; CSS class&lt;/a&gt; to the DIV holding the recent comments list.

At the moment it will seem that every page on your site is related to whatever terms I search for, because every search term has appeared in somebody&#039;s comment, and whenever the Googlebot requests any of your old blog posts, it gets a page containing the text of the latest comments no matter which page those comments actually appear on. So dear old Google gets rather confused. Google is supposed to be smart enough to figure out your &quot;recent comments&quot; list is boilerplate navigation and is not related to the real content of each blog post, but in the 2 years I&#039;ve been browsing your blog Google has never figured it out. So perhaps it is time to help the search bots with a few hints.</description>

		<description>Hi Pam

We are not ignoring real pollution here. 

Paradoxically that is being done by the people who cry loudest about CO2 pollution but ignore chemical pollution of nature which is especially rife in non western countries.</description>

		<description>Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal (29 January 2012). Princeton physics professor William Happer, confirms satellite date shows NO warming since 2012, and why a large number of scientists don&#039;t believe that carbon dioxide is causing global warming. Link attached below.

Australia is now &quot;represented&quot; only by Bundaberg and Townsville from mid 1960&#039;s.</description>

		<description>Andrew McRae: #43

&lt;blockquote&gt;I suspect that the “tab” feature does not work for mere mortals.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It&#039;s never worked for me - so no change there then.

Also, I am doomed to monocrome, unless these orange and blue words actually work (they didn&#039;t used to either).

And we don&#039;t seem to have nested comments ... you can&#039;t trust what is written on the box, can you?</description>

		<description>Pam: #37

&lt;blockquote&gt;... when someone bolsters their arguments by claiming people who are “green” are all just communists with gaining power in mind then they abruptly lose credibility in my eyes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And quite right too.  The other epithet is &quot;Watermelon&quot; on the bases that, “They are green on the outside and red on the inside&quot;.

There is a lot of name calling in science these days.  Well, at least in climate science. Those who question, “The science is settled”, political line are often called &quot;Deniers&quot;, implying a connection with the holocaust.  “Sceptics”, is a much more acceptable label, since it is descriptive.  The sceptics try to be polite, and refer to their adversaries as &quot;warmists&quot;, which at least has a cosy feel to it.  So we live in a Johnathan Swift type of existence where two factions are arguing, not over which end of an egg to crack, but whether or not the temperature will rise to a level that is intolerable to organisms that have an inate ability to evolve.

The Green connection is really an extension of an established fact that a large number of scientists who worked on the IPCC  2001 and 2007 Assessment Reports were at the same time sitting on the Climate Witness Scientific Advisory Panel, which was formed and sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.  An obvious conflict of interest that has only recently come to light, but one that calls the whole IPCC process into doubt.  

But the claim that warmists are all communists is not credible.  There is no doubt that some are in it for the money, and that is definitely a capitalist trait.  On this site we have Capitalists, and ex-Communists, Marxists, Libertarians, and the odd Tory (well all Tory’s are a bit odd, don’t you think).  

No, the debate is not along political lines.  It is more concerned with rational truth, and the right for people to be honestly informed so that they can make up their own minds.</description>
