#1 "Climate change will damage our health. People will get sick as a direct result. People will die in larger numbers as our earth, our world, our home, heats up."

#3 What a f**king idiot. We have had a long cold winter here in the Western Land of Oz. I think we set record low temps in three of the last four months. In fact the whole Southern Hemisphere is abnormally cold.

#4 Is this alarmist self-serving neo-ecologist agitprop in order to secure more grant money for further 'study' of the problem?

#5 phil_b: question. During previous Ice Ages, has Australia had any significant glaciation? I wouldn't think so, judging from the terrain we usually see on television, but Ice Age maps almost never show the southern hemisphere.

And the second question. If Australia doesn't get icy, then why not?

#7 In the last (i.e. current) Ice Age, ice fields/glaciers were restricted to parts of Tasmania and a small area of the Australian Alps. The reason is Australia was too warm and colder areas where largescale ice accumulation occured are too far away across the ocean (unlike N.America and Europe) Back in the days of Gondawanaland the whole of Australia was covered by an ice sheet, but there were large ajacent land masses then and I think we were closer to the pole.
