The Punch generously published Steve Fielding's climate change wisdom today. Apparently he does believe that climate change is happening, but there is no change in the climate according to his graph, so he can't support the legislation. How you can think climate change is happening if there's no climate change is probably one of those deep questions only engineers and Family First senators can get their heads around. As a fairly ordinary person, I'm having trouble.
160 comments and counting. Well scored, the Punch.
Not be outdone, our Kev has responded. Even better score, Punch.
Shorter Rudd, the rest of the world accepts that something needs to be done rather urgently, so it's best we hop to it. Kind of like the rest of the world agreeing it's best not to marry immediate members of your family. We wouldn't want to be seen stalling on something like that, would we? Or sending children into mines or eating one another or buying and selling one another. None of these things were good for the future of humanity, so we stopped doing them.
30 comments, early hours yet.
Fielding appears to be attracting the sort of attention he wants, which is nice for him.
Comments are interesting for what they say about the Punch readership.
Interesting choice of venue for Rudd, given his recent observations on newspapers.

Well, its nice to know what the Labor Right thinks about these issues, even if only by proxy.
But I can't help thinking tabula rasa must make unfulfilling reading.
