Why would the events of the last two years weaken the evidence of climate change? The record strengthens it. June 2009 to May 2010 was the hottest 12 month period on record. Hello time to wake up. What planet have Bob Carter and Alan Jones been living on for the past two years? It could not have been VENUS. With an atmosphere of 96% CO2, Venus is 100s of degrees hotter than it would have been without a CO2 atmosphere.

@RasPesher I don't think you listened to the interview very well. Cater says that current temperatures fall WITHIN the range of natural variability. Do you understand that? It means there is nothing unusual about current temperatures and no evidence to support the theory of man made CO2 causing dangerous climate change.

I found a list of the 8 most intense cyclones to hit Australia up until the end of 2006. One came from 120 years ago, another in1994, and all the rest post-1998. This category of cyclones was previously a 1 in 100 year event, has now become almost yearly. The increase in intense cyclones correlates to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Cyclones are caused by hot surface ocean temps. That confirms that global warming (GW) was the cause. Preventing GW will reduce the number of cyclones.

[ClimateScam]

@RasPesher Wrong. Cyclones are caused by the difference in temperature between the tropics and the poles. If the globe was to get warmer the first place to get warm would be the poles, lessening the difference and theoretically reducing the frequency of cyclones.

The fact that the alarmists are trying to link cyclones to CO2 shows how desperate they are to keep this fraud going.

If Australia's energy exports improves the quality of life of other nations by bolstering their economy, shouldn't Gillard seek a solution which offsets her carbon emmisions tax, by sharing the burden with those nations? She was hired by the Australian people to improve our quality of life, not as a proponent of the ideology of the "Church of Climate Change Lisping Saints".

I can mold plastics without electricity, Hold on, no coal, no power but no paint, no medicins, no plastics, no insecticides, no food preservatives, no roads, no lfe as we know it - I can live with that, pass me the 2 sticks so I can make a fire to keep warm, and that plant to cure my cancer. GET ME OFF THIS PLANET!!

[jackolan76]

WOW! my 8 years in university just went down the toilet. To think increasing CO2 from 200 parts / 10 million to 208 parts causes climate change in the atmosphere.

[4% of less than 2%]. Thats amazing.

[jackolan76]

Venus is a shit load closer to the sun you wanker and it's the SUN thats producing the venus atmosphere CO2. Get a science degree, moron

[RasPesher]

@aus2045 The video was questioning changes since 2008. My comment concerned that period. Records going back "a 100 years or so" are sufficient to cover the last two years. Not to understand that, means that you were probably home schooled.

[aus2045]

@RasPesher You fool. "on record" how far back do the records go? a 100 years or so, Maybe venus should intoduce a carbon tax. Fuck off and go do something useful with you life.

@LABORISTOXIC Did you say that your degree was in chemistry or ALCHEMY ? As you seem to have transmuted the MOLTEN CARBONATE ELECTROLYTE (used in the STEP process for refining iron ore) INTO WATER!

Molten Carbonate Electrolytes are also used in fuel cells (ie NaLiCO3) with an operating temperature of 650 deg C. I see no reason to assume that carbonate electrolytes can't operate above 600 deg C. The current blast furnace method of refining Iron operates at 2000 deg C, so where is the problem??

[LABORISTOXIC]

@RasPesher HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!! Listen Fool ....... I have just reviewed the process. All you have to do is heat the water to 600-1000oC to dissolve the iron oxides for the process to occur. Simply put, the process will not be commercially viable. So let's go back to the original debate ........ which life cycle produces less carbon dioxide -

Aust. Iron Ore + Aust. Coal = Iron

Aust. Iron Ore + Transport to Asia + Aust. Coal + Transport to Asia = Iron

[RasPesher]

Cont... Mr TOXIC asks, "how many solar panels it would take to generate one kilogram?"

The answer to this question is just UNDER HALF A PANEL.

If we assume that we use the solar energy to produce both the energy for electrolysis and for heating in the new process we would still require LESS THAN ONE PANEL.

Note: These figures are based on poor site location and Mum and Dad household solar technology.
