Some Crikey readers don’t agree with Bernard Keane that small investors aren’t concerned about what’s happening with Telstra. Plus, an update on visiting detention centres.

Kohler: How the collapsing US$ will damage Copenhagen
For Australia, an international emissions trading scheme in Copenhagen may prove an economic disaster, thanks to a dropping US dollar a and rising Aussie dollar. It’s happening around the world and it’s making a Copenhagen deal unlikely.
Is Clive James a climate change sceptic because he’s a senile old sucker?
Clive James may have praised the need for scepticism with climate change, but that just proves him as a old sucker, not a sceptic, writes George Monbiot. Do old people think more positively about climate change effects because they are closer to death?
In climate denial: this is not scepticism
We’re losing the battle against climate denialism. Much of the skepticism is fuelled by ideology, but the real driver of denialism is an emotional inability to accept that we’re in serious trouble.
Copenhagen reality check #1: 25% by 2020 isn’t in the ball park
You can bet your house that Copenhagen will not conclude with a 25% mandatory target for all the developed economies. But is that even what we need to do, or is the whole of the Copenhagen process wrapped in an enormous delusion? asks David Spratt.
Copenhagen is coming, lower your expectations
With the Copenhagen climate change conference just five weeks away and national leaders and scientists already disagreeing, it looks like a global plan for climate change and emissions targets is unlikely, writes David Spratt.
Failure or foundations for Copenhagen
We are currently not on track to sign a ratifiable treaty in Copenhagen but that’s not to say we shouldn’t expect key outcomes that will set us on the path to achieve this global treaty in 2010, writes Erwin Jackson.
CCS Institute comes clean on clean coal
In somewhat surprising and welcome candour, the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute’s latest report suggests that there is a low likelihood of CCS being economically viable before 2030 to 2040, writes Michael James.

This is your planet, 4C later
A great (if a little grim) interactive map shows how the predicted 4C rise in global temperature by 2050 will affect the planet in areas like sea levels, marine life, wildfires, drought and farming.
UK climate chief: Give up meat to save the planet
British climate guru Lord Stern of Brentford has caused a ruckus by declaring that the world will need to go vegetarian to combat climate change, predicting that, as people become increasingly aware of the carbon content of their food, they will naturally make the switch.
Coastal erosion goes beyond global warming
Coastal erosion happens constantly and has many causes. Spits and points grow too and bays and inlets shallow or disappear completely. Climate change isn’t completely to blame, writes Crikey naturalist Lionel Elmore.
Never mind the Pacific Islands, who will save our beach houses from global warming?
The media swarmed all over a Parliamentary report yesterday about the threat posed by rising sea levels — to those who live in multi-million-dollar beachfront properties. No word on our island neighbours whose entire countries are beachfront properties, notes Bernard Keane.
Crabb: How will we cope with leaky boats? Don’t worry, the sea levels are rising
Yesterday’s QT focused on each party’s respective Achilles heel, says Annabel Crabb. The government talked about climate change. The Opposition ignored them and asked about asylum seekers. The government ignored them. And repeat.
The terrifying impact of rising sea levels
How will different proposed levels of rising levels affect different countries? Larvartus Prodeo map possible changes from the low lying Maldives to the US, comparing it to historical developments of sea levels.
Hamilton: Why I am standing for the Greens in Higgins
Crikey regular Clive Hamilton explains why he is running in the Higgins by-election as a candidate for the Greens, and says that climate change won’t be the only issue he’ll be campaigning on.
Your Say: Daily Mail readers' feedback: Asylum seekers, Wilson Tuckey and gobbledygook
Crikey readers weigh in on the hysteria over asylum seekers, the prospect of Tamil Tigers being in Australia and climate currency leakage.
Clive James: In praise of climate change scepticism
Climate sceptics are often likened to Holocaust deniers — but the two aren’t really analogous, says Clive James: the Holocaust actually happened, while the Earth still hasn’t been destroyed by global warming. A bit of scepticism is healthy for science and society.
I’m a climate currency leakage sceptic
Carbon leakage is all superstition and nonsense, says Bernard Keane — and he can produce the figures to prove it.
Your Say: Daily Mail readers' feedback: Climate change is terrifying
Crikey readers dispute Richard Farmer’s claims of most Tamil asylum seekers being economic migrants not refugees and the scary future we face with climate change.
America’s belief in global warming plummets
The number of Americans who believe in global warming has dropped from 77% to only 57% in just two years, with the decline sharpest amongst independent voters and Republicans, according to a new Pew study.
Crabb: How Rudd’s buttocks fear the wedgie of ‘01
Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull are just play fighting. In essence, they agree on asylum seekers. Except, its just easier for Turnbull to talk about leaky boats than farting climate change cows, says Annabel Crabb.
At risk of banging on about this, we’re all going to die
It now seems certain that without urgent and more stringent emission cuts are within the next few years, humans will be powerless to stop the shift to a new climate on Earth.
Don’t get your hopes up for Copenhagen
The likelihood that climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in December will produce a comprehensive treaty on global warming are now looking pretty slim, with the US, like Australia, still squabbling domestically over the issue.
Your Say: Daily Mail readers' feedback: Climate change, CPRS and politics
Climate change and the ETS were the biggest topics for Crikey readers today, with readers lamenting the politicisation of an global environmental issue.
