Climategate claims its first big political scalp (Australia)
The Telegraph ^ | 12/1/2009 | James Delingpole

Posted on 12/01/2009 6:16:18 AM PST by markomalley

Australian conservatives have shown the way by dumping the party leader who was in favour of massive carbon taxes and replacing him with one who stated last month that AGW is “crap.”

This makes Malcolm Turnbull, the suddenly-ex-leader of Australia’s Liberal party, the first major political victim of the Climategate furore. And his replacement Tony Abbott, the first politician to reap the benefits of the world’s growing scepticism towards ManBearPig. Of the three candidates, he was the only one committed to delaying the Australian government’s proposed Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

The trouble began last week when Australia’s opposition Liberal party began haemorrhaging frontbenchers, all of them preferring to lose their jobs than be railroaded by their leader into voting with the Government on Kevin Rudd’s new carbon tax.

And hopefully the rest of the world will follow...getting rid of the politicians who bought into, encouraged, financed, and ultimately would benefit from this racketeering scam.

This needs to be sent to all eco rats and Rinos in Congress, with a note saying: “Support Eco Fraud and go home!”

Guarantee you that the U.S. will then foot/fund the whole mess, as WE ARE THE MOST GUILTY IN ALL THIS GLOBAL WARMING thingy after-all/sarc.

There is no way the Libs will allow their ILK/GORE to go down in all his fraudulent investments, they are all financially tied to this scheme. Follow the money.

A very bitter former Senator and Vice President Al Gore seen here en-route back to prison after a federal appeals court refused to review his 20 year sentence for his lead role as spokesperson in the “Climategate” fraud conspiracy. The same court recently rejected the appeals of the lengthy sentences of the 137 alleged UN “scientists” – Gore’s co-conspirators – for falsifying data supporting so-called Cap and Trade legislation that trial testimony disclosed would have virtually destroyed what remained of the U.S. economy while unjustly enriching Gore and a cabal of insiders.

Obama was to meet with Australia just before Copenhagen.

Rudd to meet Obama before climate talks

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will travel to Washington next week for talks with United States President Barack Obama ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

Mr Rudd has been working with other leaders as a "friend of the chair" of the summit, but has already indicated a legally binding agreement on global emissions cuts was unlikely to be secured.

He said Mr Obama had invited him to Washington following the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Trinidad and Tobago this weekend

I wonder if this meeting was because of the resistance in Australia. I think Obama was put in office in part to push this UN global agenda.

A few comments from the UK. They don't want this either.
Green tax agenda seems to be being pushed by governments on their people globally.

In Professors Plimer and Carter, Australia has two of the most articulate proponents of climate change scepticism. This would not have happened without their tireless marshalling of the evidence and skillful presentation of the argument.

At least they have a Party that is prepared to make a stand against all this nonsense unlike us!

The only way America will follow suit is if we get REAL NOISY, people.

John Stossel is on now with Bill O. discusing Climategate.
