So this morning, this caught my eye. To make a 2 page article shorter, a scientist who was deeply concerned that some scientists were fudging climate science data, determined to perform the biggest, most comprehensive survey of climate science data.
A place to unload raging hatred at the most belligerently stupid elements of politics in Australia and beyond.

Tony, the man with a plan... maybe...
A dissection of the effects of the Carbon Tax on households, the Coalition's alternative, the 'blood oath' and just what the hell might be going on in the peanut shell that acts as Tony Abbott's skull.

Science, Media and Climate Change
From The Conversation;
"Recent research at the University of Queensland found that among Australian politicians, the percentage whose views on climate are influenced by scientists — as opposed to, say, the local publican or barber — ranges from 44% to 98% across parties. The party at the bottom, which in its majority rejects science, is the Liberal party. The party that nearly exclusively prefers peer-reviewed science to gossip is the Greens. In this context, it is worth recalling that The Australian — taking a stand against radical activism and flying the banner of journalistic impartiality — has recently vowed to help destroy the Greens at the ballot box. This is what most people would call an agenda."
