Al Gore Heading to Melbourne as Temperatures Drop to Record Lows

Published on July 8, 2009 in Eco-loons. 1 Comment Tags: , .

You can tell Al Gore must be on his way to Melbourne considering this news:

MELBURNIANS have shivered through the coldest morning of the year, with the mercury plunging below zero degrees celsius in suburbs across the city.

In Melbourne’s west, temperatures dipped to a 12-year record low in Laverton with -2.1 degrees, while in Moorabbin residents woke up to a chilly -0.8.

Scoresby and Viewbank households also reached for extra blankets, as temperatures registered -0.6 and -0.5 degrees respectively.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said the CBD was the only area unaffected by the icy weather, which recorded 3.4 degrees overnight.

“Across the metropolitan region it was the coldest morning of the year,” he told AAP.

But he said open areas of central Melbourne – including Federation Square which broadcast the Michael Jackson memorial service live from Los Angeles at 3am (AEST) – would have felt much colder.  [AAP]

Yet I’m sure the global warming faithful will be out in force to welcome their evironmental capitalist environmental evangelist, Al Gore. 

Kevin Rudd Not the Messiah of Climate Change

I have always said the global warming climate change issue was in fact a religious movement and this is just further evidence that it is:

THE Rudd Government has shrugged off criticism that its climate change plan emissions targets are too weak, including from its own adviser.

Professor Ross Garnaut has savaged parts of the Federal Government’s climate change plan, saying a massive lobbying exercise by vested interests secured a generous deal for business.

Prof Garnaut, hired by the federal and state governments to advise on what Australia should do about climate change, said the scheme was “over the top” after “unprecedented lobbying from vested interests … unprecedented in Australian policy-making, the extent of it”.

“There’s no doubt that the rate of return in lobbying has been very high,” Prof Garnaut told AAP.

He also thinks the Government should not have ruled out a deep, 25 per cent cut in emissions by 2020.  (…..)

Opposition climate change spokesman Greg Hunt accused Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of setting up false expectations that he would take tough action on climate change.

“It’s about the impression of activity, clothing it with a moral purpose and then the failure to deliver practical action,” Mr Hunt said.

“He’s not the Messiah when it comes to climate change, he’s just a very naughty boy and he set those false expectations.”  [AAP]

And here I thought the global warming crowd had found their Messiah, Al Gore?  I didn’t realize the search for the real global warming Messiah was still on going.
