Seems like a contradiction there. @Sharon: So you ‘treasure’ our national parks, and at the same time are willing to let feral animals destroy them? Seems like a contradiction there.

Did the world face a crisis back then? And my point was really that 0.18C of warming just doesn't seem like a crisis or something that is going to fundamentally change our society. Care to comment on how 0.18C of warming will lead to an apocalypse? Oh, I know - the computer models say that it's going to get much, much warmer. Just that there's no sign of that happening yet so please rouse me to a panic when it actually does.

Could Australia be headed for negative growth?” (yesterday, item 2). Would Crikey please stop using that neologistic oxymoron “negative growth” and use instead the perfectly good English word: contraction. Yes, indeed, the question really should be: Will we have two consecutive periods of positive contraction? Gavin Moodie writes: Re. “Uh oh.
