Miners join walk for cooler future
The miners’ union has joined a national campaign lobbying the Federal Government to combat global warming.
National president of the Construction Forestry Mining Energy Union (CFMEU), Tony Maher, joined political and environmental groups today in calling on the Federal Government to act to prevent temperatures from rising more than two degrees Celcius.

If they were dinkum they would go on indefinite strike until the mean global temperature falls.
Do something about global warming?
Easy Peasy – just make a slight adjustment to the climate sensitivity in the GCM’s and some other feedback parameters and we can stop it warming globally.
It’s only being observed in the climate computer models of course, since real world measurements show nothing of the sort.
In fact it isn’t physically possible to obtain a global temperature of the earth from a thermodynamic perspective (See Christopher Essex’s various essays and articles in the “gasp” sceptical literaature.
So march as much as they want, AGW isn’t about the earth getting warmer, but the sheep skin clothing a quite different beast.
Has our Tony worked out yet that some of these green groups don’t want his members to have jobs? Paticularly in forestry.
Helen, maybe Tony realises that without appropriate responses to climate change his members won’t have jobs.
As for no warming – tell it to the polar bears louis!
Polar Bears? That myth was thrown out in a UK court.
‘Appropriate responses to climate change’ is a good phrase, but it means different things to different people, with different perspectives.

I see you skirt around the issue but throwing up a red herring and as Paul points out it’s quite a furphy. (Bear population numbers seem to have exploded recently).
Climate changes, always has, always will but global warming? It isn’t possible to estimate a global temperature for the earth (see the mathematical shenanigans documented on ClimateAudit) and I can bore you with the science behind that but then, saying I am wrong by referring to polar bears simply shows that you don’t understand the issue.
(I’ve read your posts elsewhere here and Paul’s replies, and all I’ll say is that I second Paul’s comments).
But the sheer arrogance and hubris that humans can control the climate? It stands to reason that if AGW were true and by decreasing CO2 emissions we might ameliorate cyclone intensities, then it should be even easier to stop cyclones from occurring at all.
A reasonable postulate wouldn’t you say?
