Do you think the alarmists who predicted doom because of the carbon tax will shut up?
Matt Ridley’s first response to my post about his failed prediction was denial:
I did not write for the Globe and Mail in 1993 let alone about climate!
Then he moved onto stage 3, bargaining:
global av temp (ignoring pinatubo drop) is about 0.2C above 1991 level after 22 yrs - so I was spot on so…

If you take a closer look at recent sea level rise you’ll see that it has been very consistent,…
Maurice Newman, former chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, has the necessary lack of scientific qualifications to write about climate science in The Australian (Google “Losing their religion as evidence cools off”):
So when in 1969 Paul Ehrlich claimed because of global cooling it…
Graham Lloyd is back with a story headlined “Climate link to Sandy invalid” (Google the title if you want to read it). As we've come to expect from The Australian the headline is contradicted by the story, with both scientists quoted agreeing that sea level rise caused by global warming had…
Yale Environment 360 has damaged its credibility by publishing a piece by Fred Pearce claiming:
When Rachel Carson’s sound case against the mass application of DDT as an agricultural pesticide morphed into blanket opposition to much smaller indoor applications to fight malaria, it arguably resulted…
Nominate Tim for a Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching and Supervision Excellence.
Still here. It seems the carbon tax has not destroyed the Australian economy. Phew!
