Australian Chief Scientist: 5 years to "save the world"

4 December, 2009 by Simon

No alarmism or exaggeration there. Mark it in your diaries for the 4 December 2014, because in five years time, it will be too late, we may as well shut up shop, and all commit harakiri. But the most astonishing thing is that this isn’t from some sandwich-board-wearing religious nut, this is from our Chief Scientist.

THE planet has just five years to avoid disastrous global warming, says the Federal Government’s chief scientist.

Prof Penny Sackett yesterday urged all Australians to reduce their carbon footprint.

Australians – among the world’s biggest producers of carbon dioxide – were “better placed than others to do something about it“, she said.

“Australians can make an enormous contribution, so why would we not rise to this challenge and this opportunity,” she told a business conference in Melbourne.

Professor Penny Sackett was so confident of her prediction that she didn’t  issue a caveat. I’d like to do that now. I urge all people with cc bills, utility bills, car repayments and other financial commitments to honour them.

I wonder what qualifications are required to hold down the position of Chief Scientist? Would it be ownership of a white lab coat? Maybe hours spent in front of a mirror trying to master the art of looking serious.

I’m sure Professor Sackett was part of the claque that delighted in giving the tag ‘denier’ to the naysayers so it might be appropriate to label Professor Sackett as a person who once held the position of Chief Codologist.

These people remind me of someone.

Professor Peter Dingle promoted the enjo brand of cleaning cloths because they were all natural cleaning without harsh chemicals.

This is a quote.

Dingle's first wife, Penelope, died in August 2005 from cancer following a failed attempt to treat her using homeopathy and spirituality in 2003.

The coroner found that her decision to not undergo timely treatment by a competent health professional was "influenced by misinformation and bad science" as promoted by the book written by her loony tunes husband.

Real people need to go to university.  Not just those that can afford $100,000.

Just one problem, VP. she didn't say the world would end in 2014. She said that unless we took positive steps to stop polluting our atmoshphere, then by 2014  it would be too late to repair the damage.

If you are unable to understand the difference between those two statements then perhaps you should ask somebody who does to explain it to you

Does that mean that I will have to do my Christmas shopping this year?   Bugga, I was hoping to get out of it.

Don't worry about it.

You'll only end up buying things for people you don't like and who would rather you bought them something else anyway.

[softail-joanie]

they reaked havoc upon the land,

then left life's children to suffer the consequences.
to satisfy a greedy man

so many others bare great expenses.

damm!, slapped in the face again.
the spit is gonna hit the fan today

and the smell may never go away.

so for yourself what do you have to say?

you've been mislead surrounded by the dead

no one to run your erounds for you now and how

you gonna make it right?

with all your days turned into night

with paradise turned into hell

because your success was doomed to fail.

kill kill die, die die kill.. aahhh!.. kill die kill, die kill die, whhooo!..

killing all night dying all day

trade your heartbeat and pulse for rigimortus and decay

haayyy!.. oohhh!..

it's so good to be dead. now you've been mislead

surrounded by the living dead
as the pressures building in your head

an explosion is all thats left. boom!

------------------------------------------------------------------

hopelessness the end is near

with my head hung low I shed a tear.
with our eyes wide open we can't tell

that we're killing our earth that we're killing ourselves

that we're killing all our children's health.
could this really be God's plan?,

the end of earth the end of man.

maybe start the whole thing all over again.

the end of John the end of Beth,

the end of Tim the end of Jeff.

the end of air the end of rain

the end of moutains and desert plains.

. . . . . . . . . many millions of years later . . . . . . .

as the grass starts to grow and flowers start to bloom,

sunlight puts an end to darkness and gloom.
this planet draws energy from the star's bright light

then creates many diffrent forms of life.

there are two laws of nature not seen on any road sign,

we all must be born and we all must die.
between all that theres nothing but time,

for us to make our mark for others to find.

to keep the fire burning an eternity of light.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

diecronum deposits, are flowing through my vains,

and they're getting logged in the small blood vessels, in my brain.
what harm could all this cause?, does anybody know?,

diecronum deposits in your soul.

we're living in a world, with polution and desease.

our daily modern conviences that bring us to our knees.
those taking certain things to make them feel a certain way,

descrace upon their face bring human race to mass decay.

so as we grive unable to breathe,

can not evolve unable to grow.

diecronum deposits in your soul.

Geez, what is the point of paying all the bills if it is all over tomorrow.

And - Cancel Christmas.

Thanks for that Chomsky moment S-J.

It's now the 3rd of December so if anyone has any last minute 'bucket list' items I suggest you only do the important ones.

So someone selected a few quotes from whatever she said and ran with it then linked to the Sun Herald as proof.  

Yeah right. Whatever she said you can guarantee it has little resemblance to the conclusion reached by the newscorpse and their lackey repeater.

So when Rupert's mob report that call me Dan won the election in Victoria I should remain circumspect? I wonder if Rupert's mob reporting on today's weather forecast aligns with the BOM. Can't be too sure about these things can we.

You are 100% correct. By the way the correct name for a she elephant is 'cow'. We don't go about saying "I offered she my seat on the train because she looked tired." We use the correct terminology and in that case it would have been the use of the word 'her'. We don't say "Here comes the winning 'she' team. Most of us 'understand'.

Back to your statement....Professor Penny Sackett did not say that the world would end in 5 years. Nor did she say it would continue on for another 3 years or whatever. She left the way open for speculation so I took up her invitation to speculate. Do you understand?
