David Suzuki also had to admit he was wrong..lol.
Well, yes, scientists often admit that they are not clairvoyant, and sometimes things do not turn out quite the way they expected. But the deniers are always right, aren't you?
Also David Suzuki admitted that he did not know because the question that was asked was about the IPCC report that has not been properly released. You and your sources got their information from the gutter press in UK. and it is totally wrong. It has been already disputed, and as usual, the acknowledgement that they were wrong although printed was few lines somewhere on back page. But of-course, you missed that.
Reports on leaked IPCC study like a bad game of Chinese whispers
What do you get when cross a game of Chinese whispers, an ideologically-driven section of the press, a failure to check facts and the absence of a time machine?
You get the latest shambles in climate change reporting that has unnecessarily left people confused and misled about the true state of climate change science and the risks of pumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere.
Actually, SN.....I am responding to what has come directly out of David Suzukis mouth during an interview..
If you would like to watch - http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3841115.htm
If you watch it SN......you will notice that he admits he was wrong.
Tony Abbott's government have carbon reduction targets. why do they bother and defy andrew ? i guess its a case of the public (the electorate's) wishes that they do. i mean if there was no public demand or interest in them having a target (unlikely as they are to reach it) why would they have one ? 
i'll tell you why. most (73% is the low figure 80% the higher) australians know its true, they have experienced its effects.. they have seen and felt it and want something done.

good on him
he is in Australia to talk about The Great Barrier reef isn't he ?
UNESCO is currently considering whether the Great Barrier Reef should be put on the list of World Heritage sites in danger.
and importantly
Mining venture needs government support
The Queensland Government granted the Wongai coal mine significant project status last year.
Bounty Mining says that aided the company's decision about whether to get involved because it shows the project will have State Government support.
The coal mine needs approval from the State and Federal Governments and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority before construction can begin.
Dr Seelig is concerned the environmental restrictions surrounding projects like the Cape York mine will be relaxed under the new Federal Government.

And yet the information he gave on the Barrier Reef was incorrect.
