If anything, I would have thought Ross Garnaut might have understated the problem. If only his report can get through the vast acreage of cotton wool which inhabit’s the space most of use for a brain-the mind of politicians, and 98% of the world’s right-wing (I was going to say thinkers. Now that would be tautology.) proselytizers. If it wasn’t so tragic it would be amusing to hear the ‘phone conversations of the opposition as they try to redeem their creds after ignoring the issue for 12 years under their late, unlamented, lunatic lap dog of George Bush, John Wanker Howard. How will Rudd handle it? I feel sure that after his performance against John, ‘the grabber’, Brumby, and the Murray Darling River disaster, he will do f*ck all.
So know everyone we have indeed been faced by an apocalypse, and its four horsemen are “over population”, “rape of the environment”, “drought”, “starvation”. Kinda gives the driver a bad name!
Of course Australia will suffer the most. We are the driest and most ecologically fragile country on earth.

Pithy one liners are insufficient in the face of nonsense scaremongering leaders such as Fairfax emulated by turkeys such as you Connor. Thank heavens you were born and reached ‘adulthood’ in the early part of the 21 st century just as the planet really needs your leadership to head of the Apocalypse…………
