Australian Attorney-General: ‘Climate Science Is Not Settled’

Poll: Australians More Skeptical -
Climate Change “Dropped Off” Political Radar
 
Australian Attorney-General George Brandis has questioned the science of climate change, saying he’s not ‘at all’ convinced it is settled. ‘It doesn’t seem to me that the science is settled at all,’ Senator Brandis told parliament on Tuesday during debate on the tabling of documents relating to the CSIRO. The attorney-general was addressing a recent CSIRO restructure – undertaken internally – which will move the focus away from collecting climate data. --Sky News, 20 April 2016

In Australia the latest (unpublished) opinion poll shows concern about tackling climate change has fallen from 55% in 2007 to 35%. Common sense is winning. --Jo Nova, 20 April 2016

Global warming is supposed to produce more droughts. But now an analysis reveals that climate models can barely calculate rainfall. A new study, however, questions these very models. Climatologists lead by Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist of Stockholm University have analysed historical climate data. In the case of rainfall, the data contradict the results of climate models, the researchers report in the science journal Nature. --Axel Bojanowski, Spiegel Online, 7 April 2016

The 4th Viscount Camrose, who has died aged 78, was a scion of the Berry family which owned The Daily Telegraph for nearly 60 years; as Adrian Berry he was the paper’s science correspondent from 1977 to 1997, and author, in later years, of its lively monthly “Sky at Night” (later “The Night Sky”) column. He was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, the Royal Geographical Society and the British Interplanetary Society as well as serving on the advisory committee of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a think tank chaired by Lord Lawson. --The Daily Telegraph, 19 April 2016

Here’s another sign of the bankruptcy of both the climatistas and the liberals who fawn over “democracy” until the people don’t do exactly what they want. --Steven Hayward, Power Line, 19 April 2016
