Tim Flannery eh? Australian mammalogist and palaeontologist, that Tim Flannery? I'm sorry according to your peers on this forum he holds no credibility in the Global Warming debate. Try again.

You can easily find this by doing a simple Google search. Probably the best way for him to answer you also, since then you have to attack the actual claims you read and not the poster who pointed it out to you.

"Today it will be partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees. The pollen count is high, and will remain so for the next 2 days. Global warming is fake. Now for your weekend forecast ..."

Nuf said, really.

Typical left wing nonsense in the lead post!

Quite randomly, I did an extensive Google type search on one of the listed institutes alleged to support AGW, and found:

The Indian Academy does NOT support the AGW nonsense.

Would you like me to discuss the politics of the APU? (American Physical Union)

Wildkow #23,
That's Tim Flannelly you mean?
He was Australian of the year recently, but that's nothing!
Al Gore got a Nobel Prize......... Sheez! (pardon me whilst I hyper-ventilate for a moment)

Sorry for pause, I'm back.....

Could Al lose it, if he was tested for drug use?

When was the last time a weather man was better than 60% right, I would say this is on the 40% wrong side of the ledger.

Yep, Tim Flannery

Flannery held various academic positions throughout his career including Professor at the University of Adelaide, director of the South Australian Museum in Adelaide, Principal Research Scientist at the Australian Museum, Visiting Chair in Australian Studies at Harvard University, and an adviser on environmental issues to the Australian Federal Parliament. He holds bachelor degrees in English and Earth Science, a doctorate in Palaeontology, and has contributed to over 90 scientific papers.
In 2007, he took up a role within the Climate Risk Concentration of Research Excellence at Macquarie University.

he is just your average Joe. Who would expect a person who studies ancient species of animals to know anything about the changing climate of this planet? Stupid people!!

Bob, do you think having awards like Australian of the year and a Nobel Prize make you a credible person?
Yeah I guess they do but some will deny it.

How can something so simple be made so complicated?

Do I know if global warming is a fact? No.
Does anyone? No.

You might as well ask around whether Jesus was the son of God or not.

Nobody can know the unknowable.

So, let's think about what we do know:

1. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
2. There is more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere now than at any other time in the earth's history (that we can check, of course).

Am I going to have a big freakout session over global warming? No.

Does it make sense to reduce the world's carbon emissions? Yes.

You can fantasize all you want. Fact is, the glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an alarming rate.
The trouble with the American media is they refuse to distinguish between fact and fantasy--in the interest of political "balance." The result is a badly informed and misled public, which is dangerous in the case of Global Warming--not a political issue.

Ohh, but it IS a political issue, because the facts don't jive with some people's version of 'reality'. Good heavens, man, we can't have informed and educated people challenging the notion of America The Best, now can we? That's not good for business - far wiser to just buy the media and tell them what to say.
