Rudd's War on Climate Sceptics

Today at the Lowy Institute, Kevin Rudd announced, in relation to climate sceptics who oppose his ridiculous carbon "pollution" reduction scheme:

And our children's fate - our grandchildren's fate - will lie entirely with them. It is time to remove any polite veneer from this debate; the stakes are that high.

    Now, with Al Gore the messiah declaring CO2 causes only 40% of warming and appealing to religious arguments - surely the ETS and Copenhagen are dead!

    Kevin Rud is a dangerous man - a control freak, bully and a dictator at heart - even his Labour colleagues fear him according to today's The Australian.

  2. I was actually pretty happy with Rudd's Lowy Institute speech.

    I'm starting to think that it will be the ETS that brings Rudd undone.

    Cheers
