Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is convinced the science on man made global warming is settled. In fact he’s so convinced that the science of the IPCC and NASA’s James Hansen is correct that his number 1 political priority is the introduction of an Emissions Trading Scheme by mid 2010.
The latest science shows that the IPCC’s Climate Change Modelling is grossly overstated..
Climate change may not be as severe as predicted, suggests an international study that shows current modelling of carbon dioxide emissions from soils are overestimated by as much as 20%.
The view, reported in the latest Nature Geoscience journal, is based on a study of Australian soils that finds the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released by Australian soils is much lower than previously believed.
The finding has major implications for climate change predictions as annual carbon emissions from soils are estimated to be more than all human-made CO2 emissions combined.
The incredibly ironic thing is that one of the reports Co_Authors Dr Evelyn Krull [pictured] , is a scientist at the Australian governments own CSIRO Land and Water. Dr Krull goes on to say:
For Australia, a proportion of 20% charcoal in soils would lead to a 135 teragram (135 billion kilograms) overestimation on a continental scale.
“On an annual basis, an inflated prediction from topsoils alone equates to … 84% of CO2 emissions associated with aviation for Australia using values obtained for 2006,” the paper says.
Surprise, Surprise the research has found that climate change modelling is grossly overstated.
…this means that current scenarios predicted by climate change modeling “are making it look worse than it actually would be”.
This highlights the need for a global initiative to analyse soils worldwide for charcoal content so that modeling can be more accurate, she says.
Beautiful - the climate models are overstated. All the while Rajendra Pachauri, James Hansen, Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Don Henry , Barry Brook & Clive Hamilton of the alarmist cause try to tell us Global Warming is happening faster than the models actually predicted.
The science on man made global warming is settled. Yes right.

Hi Steve,
As they say, “It’s in the mail” - should be in your Inbox x3, ’cause the long url didn’t want to email.
It is in Andrew Bolt’s Blog today 21/11/08
Cheers mate,
I’ve published an article on it - terrific video of the 1974 Brisbane floods,
You can see it here.
Hi Steve,

Hi Margaret
A Blast from the past - Tim Flannery warned Brisbane could run out of water by years end.
Skywatch Media News - May 2007
The ABC is not “Our ABC” anymore since the Bob Hawke era, it became “Their ABC” with the installation of David Hill as CEO. (John Pilger)
Since then it has moved on but is still the mouthpiece of the Labor governments.
G’day Jeff,
Do you have a link to the Flannery Sky News thing. With Dam levels now at 45% whilst we are still in the Spring season, I’d like to remind readers of another dud Flannery prediction.
Cheers - Steve
Premier Bligh and the AM commentator this morning were both pushing hard the idea that the intense storms in Brisbane were due to global warming.
It was PATHETIC how they were talking - as if there was no doubt about it.
The ABC is so much a propaganda government media tool it is TERRIBLE.
