Q. what can we do to charge consumers more, we just aren't squeezing enough out of them?

A. lets whack a global tax that we can put through every industry & pass down the line, everyone loves the planet, they won't be any the wiser, well have them all in slavery before they know what hit them, "mwahhahahaha"!

Yes, it's a giant corporate conspiracy. No left wing bias involved.

I used to have respect for Tony Jones, but he should forfeit his journalist licence for this performance. If the ABC wants to put the kid gloves for such important interviews, they should get whoever's hosting Play School to do the job. It's an insult to the Australian viewing public, and we deserve better for our tax dollars. Having said that, in spite of the fact that Flannery is awarded several free kicks directly in front of goal, he STILL fails. 1/10.

I'm amazed at the amount of violence that people can scream. The exact reason why these emails are a non-news is because you are reacting like crazy to them over almost nothing. Come on, a trick to make data more readable to the public, anger at skeptics, etc etc, was to be expected from them, especially in private emails. Come on, some of you guys threatening to kill some climate scientists, even before the theft. Where is the evil ? On your side. No side should be taken other than politeness'

How are these thousands of pricks travelling to copenhagen getting their ? I bet their not riding their bikes ! What are they going to eat ? " Mac donalds" Were are they going to stay ? They will be travelling mostly first class and dining on caviar washed down with fine wines. Five star accom will be at a premium and I feel sorry for the children who will be assaulted over this period. Traiters !

Pause the video at the beginning and study the face of Flannery for a few moments ........ He looks agitated and nervous , I wonder if he studied his lines properly . This is the face of fraud and should be treated as such. Global warming has gone beyond science by that statemant alone science has lost a great deal of credibilty . Chairman of the copenhagen climate council . Fucking traiter!

[stoptheshearing]

'If your a sceptic you have no were to go ' . Well if your a criminal scientist or anyone involved in this lie YOU have no were to go . THIS IS A "CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY" and heads should roll , shame on Flannery and Jones .This is a poor attempt to discredit what is now known world wide CLIMATEGATE . To deny this would be to deny the holocaust...Shame on you ABC and Flannery has no credibility at all , none! "HIDE THE DECLINE TRAITERS"

Tony jones u really are a sack of shit..

How much are they paying you..?

your going down with these arseholes..!

[LibertarianinMA]

He suggests that the hackers in question are criminals but I'd be more inclined to call them heroes. These FRAUDS who call themselves "climate scientists" have been stirring up panic for decades to keep government funding flowing their way. In addition, ridiculous policies have been implemented based on their lies, costing the people of the world billions upon billions of dollars. It's a pleasure to see them squirm like this trying to defend their con-job.
