Global warning deniers' Useful Idiots.

Triple J's Hack did a thing about Climate Change Deniers. [mp3]

There was a little feedback, so they did a followup about those complainants. [mp3]

The gist of these people is

1. There are thousands of Climate Scientists who disagree with the Consensus -- but no-one knows who they are.
   
2. Ray Evans says that there's a CONSPIRACY!!!
   
3. Climate Change is, like, real, but most Scientists, like, reckon that it's totally natural, and, like, stuff.
   
4. Didn't you see that Documentary in England about the Climate Change Con? (Reply; yes but what about the person who came out and complained about how badly he had been misrepresented? Response; Yeah, but he said stuff out of context, which totally confirms my biases. I mean, yeah, they misrepresented him, but he still said stuff, which could be twisted by scientifically ignorant oil propagandists to sound like "Climate Change Suxx0rz")

OK, I'm exaggerating. Well, except for Ray Evans.

And then tonight they finally played the full interview with Andrew Bolt, which was interrupted by technical faults last night. It's not up yet, but probably will be soon.

Good gods, that man is an arrogant son-of-a-bitch. He spent the entire time attacking the reporter for not interviewing people like him more often, and for being rude about it when he does.

I would say more, and more cogent thing, but I have to wait for the white-hot fires in my head to cool down first.

A quick note for Kevin Rudd

STOP TRYING TO OUT-FUCKING-HOWARD HOWARD, YOU IDIOT!

When you start holding your opponent up as something to be praised and imitated, then why the Fucking hell would anyone vote for you, when they can have the original?

When you suck up to Howard and his zombie army, they won't praise you in return! They won't stop attacking you just because you say how much you like them!

Moreover, when you say how much you like him and adore him and want to be like him, have you forgotten the great fucking swathes of the population of Australia desperately sweating for the chance to vote for someone who isn't John Fucking Howard?!?!?!?!?!? In your quest to suck up to Howard's drones, you've just very successfully alienated just about everyone who would have voted for you, if you weren't such an evident FUCKING MORON.



For FUCK'S SAKE, how stupid can you be? What, if anything, WERE YOU THINKING?????




Expect a pick-up in Green and Democrat votes next Federal election. Family First as well, for that matter. That's my quick and dirty prediction.

If we're really lucky, Greens/Dems will get balance of power. We might even see the need for a Labor/Green/Dem coalition (while I'm fantasising, I'd also like a pony).
My wildest dreams do not, at this stage, include a Green/Dem coalition in power in its own right, let alone one or the other. But if Rudd is going to head the Labor party like this for much longer, he's pushing the country in that direction.

Unless Rudd turns out to be Blair.au, to Howard's Thatcher. Fuck that's depressing. I'm going to go home and get drunk.
