What drugs is Senator Wong on?

February 19th, 2010

Australia’s number one megalomaniac politician, Climate Change Minister Senator Wong, is losing the climate change debate and so is resorting to fear to push her brand of socialism:

In her opening address to the National Climate Change Forum in Adelaide yesterday, Senator Wong made some alarming predictions for Australia’s coast. “Not only are our assets and environments at risk, many of our sandy beaches could erode away or recede up to hundreds of metres over the coming century,” she said. “It is possible that with climate change and without large and expensive nourishment programs, Bondi Beach, (Queensland’s) Sunshine Coast and (Victoria’s) Bells Beach may no longer be the beaches we know today.”

It is incredible to believe that Senator Wong actually believes this nonsense. Is she also saying then that Sydney will be under water by the end of the century as well? She is talking about hundreds of metres. Where is all the water going to come from? The South Pole? Well if that’s the case it better start melting some time soon. And where is the scientific consensus that supports her outrageous claim?

Bob Carter, a geologist and environmental scientist with James Cook University in Queensland, said Senator Wong’s comments appeared to be an attempt to panic the public.

Pointing to historical rates of sea level rise of an average 1.6mm per year globally over the past 100 years, Mr Carter said it was reasonable to expect a total rise of 16cm in a century….

Dr Carter said: “Have you noticed Bondi beach being destroyed in the past 100 years by that rise?”

He said that in some areas around the Australian coast, the sea level was actually getting lower.

“In some places, the geological substrata is sinking, which adds to sea-level rise, and in other places it’s rising, which subtracts from sea-level rise,” Dr Carter said.

“So you can’t have a sea-level policy for the whole of the Australian coast — that’s just stupid, and that’s what the states are doing.”

There is no credible science to support her claim. It is simply a brazen attempt by a captain of a sinking pirate ship attempting to salvage what golden ETS booty is left over after Lord Monckton’s devastating tour of the country, Prof. Plimer’s book, the rise of Tony Abbott, Climategate and the recent and continuing implosion of the scandal ridden IPCC.
