Questioning Consensus on Climate Change?
Letter to the Editor
(edit as you require)
Dear Sir / Madam,
Julia Gillard is talking of consensus on climate change.
If consensus means we can ask questions before we give a verdict, I have these questions for the PM.
1) Has the world previously warmed without manmade greenhouse gases being a factor? (e.g. the Medievel Warm period in 800 – 1350 AD)
If so – How can we be sure climate change is not just a natural cycle?
2) Has the world warmed in the last 12 years since 1998? If not, then does not that contradict the idea global warming is still occurring?
3) Are greenhouse gases able to cause runaway Global Warming? – If so which scientist has the evidence?
If not, then why wait until the evidence comes in before wasting $billions on an unproven guess?
and finally
4) Will an ALP / Greens controlled senate combined with a sham consensus process force an ETS or a Carbon Tax on Australia (causing much financial hardship).
In my view we need to vote in fearless Independent Senators to ask the hard questions and bring accountability to the processes in Canberra.

1) Have people previously suffered from heart attacks? If so, how can we be sure that a high fat, high salt diet leads to heart disease?
2) Will you ignore the fact that I have selectively picked a date range that deliberately ignores long-term trend data?
3) Do you have proof of this ‘greenhouse effect’, other than your feeble ‘science’?
4) Will the parliament do what it’s supposed to do? If so, I find it morally reprehensible because I like polluting, and don’t want my investment portfolio to suffer, because then I might have to do some actual work.
In my view, Leon Ashby doesn’t understand the term “Independent”, as he seems to be suggesting we vote for him, despite the fact that he’s a party candidate, not an Independent.
