Lance Endersbee (1925-2009): Civil Engineer, Academic, Scientific Sceptic, Mentor

I NEVER met Professor Endersbee, but we corresponded by email.
He contacted me about six years ago when I was working on the Murray River and water issues. He expressed concern about Australia’s great artesian basin and over extraction of what he considered a finite resource.
We later corresponded over climate change issue. Lance believed we must [...]

Bjorn Lomborg Not Sceptical Enough

Lomborg deserves his reputation as The Skeptical Environmentalist – his books poke holes in many dogmas society holds dear, often through the use of statistics. But I find he’s not skeptical enough. While he has expended great effort over many years questioning proposed solutions to climate change, he has yet to apply skeptical thinking to [...]

His story has resulted in lots of advice in mainstream [...]

In Melbourne: Big Al, Small Protest

ANYONE who denies global warming is in the pay of big oil. Remember that is what the big man, Al Gore, said in his movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. But like so much that Mr Gore says, it just isn’t true.
Consider the 30-odd protesters who held placards outside the breakfast he spoke at this morning in [...]

Explaining the Protest against Al Gore: Leon Ashby

ON Monday 13th July [the day after tomorrow] as 1,000 invited guests attend a breakfast with Al Gore at Docklands Peninsula [Melbourne] at 7am, an expected crowd of about 50 – 100 people will protest that Al Gore should debate the science of Climate change properly before any emissions trading schemes begin.
A leaflet with 17 Questions will be [...]

Ian Plimer Makes the Front Cover of ‘The Spectator’

James Delingpole talks to Professor Ian Plimer, the Australian geologist, whose new book shows that ‘anthropogenic global warming’ is a dangerous, ruinously expensive fiction, a ‘first-world luxury’ with no basis in scientific fact.  Read more here.
