How to Get Your Child Expelled from School

By

Ian Plimer not only finished school, he went on to University, graduated and then worked his way up to the esteemed rank of Professor.

He has been Professor and Head of Geology at the University of Newcastle, is Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, and currently lectures at the University of Adelaide.   He has already published more than 120 scientific papers on geology and seven books on a range of science related subjects including ‘Telling lies for God’ (Random House) and his best-selling ‘Heaven and Earth’ (Connor Court).   So why such a provocatively entitled eighth book ‘How to Get Expelled from School”.  Because it’s a guide to climate change for pupils, parents and punters’!

Getting expelled from school is not something anyone would wish on their child…  So I’m suggesting you only buy the book if your children have already finished school.

    It never ends, cohers,

    From Israel to aborigines, from CC to PC, our kids are being brainwashed. The world is awash with post mod Lukist wankery.

    When the govt rejects sound science during discussions critical to our future it’s no wonder they approve of propaganda in schools:

    Neville,

    I love that quote from your link on Jensen:

    “We do not have cars because we taxed flatulence from horses.”

    What’s your problem, Luke (Sky)Walker.
    Don’t you understand that the science has moved on (http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com/2011/09/would-you-feed-these-mongrels.html)?

    Don’t you understand that you are now one of the deniers?

    Why do you continue to push the falsified AGW hypothesis? (http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com/2011/04/agw-falsified-hypothesis.html)

    I only occasionally waste my time looking at all the useless AGW denier comments like yours here but, wake up, SkyWalker!

    FAIR DINKUM!

    Dear Geoff,

    regarding your “NASA blows gaping hole” link: science has moved on indeed, with two rebuttals in the peer-reviewed literature. the editor of Remote Sensing, (where the Spencer paper was published) stepped back because he was of the opinion that it should not have been published. It’s flawed science.

    read it, try to understand it, then tell me if you needed to re-assess your stance on the topic.

    best regards

    Piffle – Geoff Brown – what don’t you understand about sceptic bunkum when you see it – Sucked in mate ! Plimer’s ramblings have been hit for six and you pretenders aren’t even decent enough to admit it.

    Your first graph in your first url is laughable – are you really that stupid matey ? Wake up – the trend is UP ! http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss

    And parroting Curtin’s mistake at Mauna Loa – oh dear – what stupidity.

  13. Luke says

    Now how’s this for a bit of Spangler drongoism “The good news is that elevated CO2 will give corn in the future a defense against any droughts that occur” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Yea sure. What a tosser.

    Hey try growing a CO2 fertililsed plant in a drought…… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  14. spangled drongo says

    “Hey try growing a CO2 fertililsed plant in a drought……”

    Try growing anything in a drought!

    It doesn’t make that claim, you stupid boy:

    “” Under elevated CO2, less water is used to produce each unit of dry matter by reducing stomatal conductance.” Under elevated CO2 conditions, plants will simply use and need much less water to achieve the same outcome –”

    Luke-fertilisation in action again….

  17. Luke says

    “The good news is that elevated CO2 will give corn in the future a defense against any droughts that occur” LMAO !

  18. spangled drongo says

    Sadly it looks like you’ve lost both your arse and your argument:

    “The five researchers determined that under both well-watered and water-stressed conditions, higher soil water contents were maintained in the elevated CO2 treatment, even though 20-49% less water was applied to the soil of the elevated CO2 treatment. Their study did not, however, provide any evidence that the elevated CO2 treatment had a strong effect on plant height, leaf area or above-ground biomass. But the water saving was amazing; and as a result …”

  19. Luke says

    “The good news is that elevated CO2 will give corn in the future a defense against any droughts that occur” ROFL – I wonder what happens during a drought !

  20. Ray says

    It is a timely book , given that Australian school and university students are being brainwashed by their educators into believing that carbon dioxide is the driver of dangerous global warming.

  21. spangled drongo says

    Luke,

    It seems plants aren’t particularly interested in what people [and scientists] think:

    London – The global uptake of carbon by land plants may be up to 45 per cent more than previously thought. This is the conclusion of an international team of scientists, based on the variability of heavy oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere driven by the El Niño effect. As the oxygen atoms in carbon dioxide were converted faster than expected during the El Niño years, current estimates for the uptake of carbon by plants are probably too low. These should be corrected upwards, say the researchers in the current issue of the scientific journal NATURE. Instead of 120 petagrams of carbon, the annual global vegetation uptake probably lies between 150 and 175 petagrams of carbon. This value is a kind of gross national product for land plants and indicates how productive the biosphere of the Earth is. The reworking of this so-called global primary productivity would have significant consequences for the coupled carbon cycle-climate model used in climate research to predict future climate change.
