Jennifer Visits the Australian Parliament

October 15, 2008 By admin

Stewart Franks, Bob Carter and I gave a presentation at Parliament House on Monday evening on Climate Change.  Professor Carter focused on global temperatures, I followed with some rainfall graphs for different parts of Australia, and then Associate Professor Franks explained why rainfall along the east coast of Australia is so variable and dominated by either El Nina or La Nina cycles back at least as far as 1660.

Our main message was that there is no climate crisis, but that climate change is a natural hazard.  

The event was organised by the office of Dennis Jensen MP.  Dr Jensen is the member for Tangney in Western Australia. 

Shadow minister, Nick Minchin, and former opposition leader, Brendan Nelson, both attended and are pictured with me at Parliament House on Monday evening.

    That is a great photo Jennifer and I expect your messages were also spot on. It would seem that both Nick Minchin and Brendon Nelson are somewhat sympathetic/receptive to the idea that the end of the world is not nigh. Well done all of you

    Hello Jennifer,

    If the carbon economy is to blame for global warming as most of the worlds scientist seem to want us to believe, how is it we are prepared to consume more carbon to make solar cells when clearly to move to a solar economy we need to transition through a nuclear technology for base load power to manufacture the solar cells economically as it is in my opinion the only way to advance living standards now and at the same time reduce our carbon footprint.

    Is it that the Left of the labour party cannot bridge this fork in their ideology and that the libs do not wish to debate this with the Australian public because the time is not politically right. Well I say leadership is about confronting change and the sooner we find a leader with fortitude and a vision the better off we will be.

    Regards,

    Trevor
