PROFESSOR Tim Flannery has been sacked by the Abbott Government from his $180,000-a-year part-time Chief Climate
Commissioner position, with the agency he runs to be dismantled immediately.
No surprises in climate agencies' dismantling
"..Chief Commissioner, Tim Flannery, is Australia's Al Gore in that he is the figure most loathed and pilloried by the people who are
not convinced of the climate science. Much was made of his commissioner's salary and his supposed waterfront property..."

Are we really going to miss Tim? ...... I say NO.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Flannery predicted cities such as Brisbane would never again have dam-filling rains, as global warming had caused “a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas” and made the soil too hot, “so even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems … “.

Unsure what he said Iza -

wa's recent heavy rain doesn't seem to have reached their dams ?

I'm talking about times of flood ...where flooding results in all sorts of pollutants being added to that 100% full dam

this meaning Fairfax
and after Slater and Gordon's actions against some of their articles in relation to their firm and our former PM they too have lost credibility as non bias imo.

...lol........Tim didn't predict times of flood.........that's why he thought our dams would never be full again....

TIM Flannery has been sacked. But why haven't journalists who promoted such scaremongers been sacked, too?
When will they pay the price for the most shameful collective failure of journalism in decades?
Flannery's astonishing record of dud predictions, such as his 2007 warning that we'd never again get dam-filling rains, finally caughtup with the Chief Climate Commissioner this week.
..
But it's too easy to merely give Flannery the flick now his warming faith is finally crumbling. It's too easy to make him the sole
scapegoat after 15 years of no significant rise in global temperature - a hiatus to which the United Nations' Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change will on Friday reluctantly admit in its latest report.
More important is to demand accountability from the countless journalists who made heroes of his sort and terrified the public
with preposterous scares about a warming that hasn't come.
For years, most in the mainstream media didn't just refuse to question the great global warming scare, but howled down the few
who dared to.
Journalists became propagandists, even witch-hunters. And the biggest cabal of them gathered in the ABC.....
...Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, another ABC science presenter, was this year still insisting Britain's influential Met Office had detected
0.3C of warming since 1997, even after the Met Office itself announced the real figure was just 0.05C.
...But now the warming pause is so undeniable that even The Age, after 15 years, on Saturday was forced to acknowledge it.
In fact, Professor Judith Curry, a former warmist and chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia
Institute of Technology, now says the two decades of warming we saw before 1997 could just have been natural. Ergo: the theory
of dangerous man-made warming could be bust.
On Judith Curry - (I received a Ph.D. in Geophysical Sciences from the University of Chicago in 1982. Prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech, I held faculty positions at the University of Colorado, Penn State University and Purdue University. I currently serve on the NASA Advisory Council Earth Science Subcommittee and the DOE Biological and Environmental Science Advisory Committee, and have recently served on the National Academies Climate Research Committee and the Space Studies Board, and the NOAA Climate Working Group. I am a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geophysical Union).
As Dr Roy Spencer, who leads the US team that monitors global temperatures measured from NASA's Aqua satellite, says: "We
are now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard
reality."....
Yes Iza...they do seem to show that Alarmism is a dying religion........![]()
