Yawn. Yet another tedious boil-up of weasel words, ludicrous misrepresentation of the state of scientific discussion, utterly unsupported paper tigers about the costs of action, etc etc. Unconvincing, needs more research. Resubmit. D-.

To see climate change as a a socialist issue is further evidence of the utter intellectual bankruptcy of the particular branch of right wing politics that Flint represents. Turnbull thankfully provides evidence that you can still be a Liberal and sane.

What a goose Our Man Flint is. This stuff is just twaddle. Climate change is real, 6 billion people are causing it, so there’s no time to waste arguing with corporate shills. They don’t get a seat at the table because they have zilch to contribute. Easy.

The “courage to do nothing” about global warming is exactly the same courage as that required for policymakers to send other people’s children to war. Neither involve personal sacrifice; both entail playing Russian roulette with the lives of others.

So why exactly is NASA - you know those guys who actually send people to space and back - think the North Pole will be ice free in 7 rather than 30 years (which is really scary enough)? I suppose having no kids means all care, no responsibility, eh Flint?

It really is time Crickey found a sane liberal commentator. If read reports correctly there were two meetings at Bali. One was for those who had signed the protocol , which did not include the USA. the other did include anyone who wanted to be there.
