So it’s the same old conspiracy theory we’ve been hearing from the denial industry for 10 years, and it carries as much scientific weight as the contention that the twin towers were brought down by missiles. The truth is that global warming is a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry: created by fanatically anti-industrial environmentalists supported by scientists peddling scare stories to chase funding and propped up by complicit politicians and the media … The fact is that CO2 has no proven link to global temperatures … solar activity is far more likely to be the culprit.” Manmade climate change, the channel tells us, is “a lie … the biggest scam of modern times.

A company called Wag TV is currently completing a 90-minute documentary for Channel 4 called The Great Global Warming Swindle. If even Bush now grudgingly acknowledges that there’s a problem, surely we’ve seen the last of the cranks and charlatans who had managed to grab so much attention with their claims that global warming wasn’t happening? Though conservative in its assumptions, it shows that if you persist in believing that there is no cause for concern, you must have buried your head till only your toes are showing.

On Friday, the world’s leading body of climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will release a report forecasting global temperature rises of between two per cent and 4.5 per cent. Thirty per cent is the amount necessary to meet scientists’ calls for reductions to combat climate change, the newspaper reports said. Meanwhile, a report due to be released today says a 30 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions would cost $75 billion in new infrastructure. The CSIRO report says the coastline will be devastated by 110-metre storm surges by 2100 and bushfires will almost double as rainfall is expected to fall by 40 per cent. The frequency of droughts is also tipped to increase to nine out of every 10 years by 1970, forcing Sydney residents to reduce water consumption by 54 per cent for the city to remain sustainable within the next 20 years. Heat-related deaths will increase from the current average of 176 per year to 1312 by 2050, the report predicts. The CSIRO has predicted Sydney would resemble the dry, harsh conditions in the village of Paterson, 150 kilometres north-west of Sydney, in less than 25 years. In summer, maximum temperatures could rise by up to seven degrees by 2070, according to newspaper reports. Sydney temperatures to soar: CSIRO reportĪverage Sydney temperatures will soar by 4.8 degrees by 2070, according to a CSIRO report commissioned by the NSW State Government.
