No Link - Drought and Climate Change - CSIRO

Posted by: Michael Smith | 19 January, 2010 - 2:02 PM

The mood is shifting quickly on climate change.

Mr Rudd and Penny Wong regularly talk about the water problems in the Murray Darling Basin being a direct result of climate change. Now a prominent scientist acting with the authority of the CSIRO has directly contradicted the PM and his Minister, saying is “no evidence” to link drought in eastern Australia to climate change. - Link

The CSIRO has just released a report on drought in Tasmania, leading to an interview with Dr David Post with the Canberra Times newspaper.

For the first time a prominent CSIRO scientist, the hydrologist David Post has refused to link the issue of drought with climate change.

Dr Post says there is “no evidence” linking drought to climate change in eastern Australia, including the Murray-Darling Basin.

“At this stage, we’d prefer to say we’re talking about natural variability. The science is not sufficiently advanced to say it’s climate change, one way or the other. The jury is still out on that.”

Dr Post has impressive academic credentials - Link

For his part Dr Bob Brown of The Greens says the CSIRO is caving in to political pressure to soften its stance on climate change in the lead-up to this year’s election.

One thing is clear – any suggestion that “the science is settled” is patently false and misleading.

I may be cynical but a couple of billion dollars debt and a climate change tax? I think we can draw a conclusion to this. No wonder Krudd was happy to give all that money away.

Yes I did change my mind about David Post I actually thought that we were going to hear from an honest scientist, silly me!!!! with this Government if you speak the truth or go against them in any way then yes your reward is obscurity from then on in.
I can only hope that Comrade Rudd, Wong , Bligh and company continue their campaign of deceit long enough for all Australians to vote them out at the next election how I wish some investigative journalist would check to see if they, or the wives families etc have started companies to trade in carbon credits and while the journo is at it maybe check Turnbull out too

I notice one poster mentioned CENSORSHIP.
Don't forget that Chairman rudd is planning to introduce INTERNET CENSORSHIP in Australia.
The trojan horse being used to implement this is that of pornography.
I'm no fan of pornography, but it is being used to con the public.
Once it is implemented there will be no end to what will censored!
