Rudd let slip a line in his frustration this week that reveals how little he knows about the topic he holds so dear. He has so completely swallowed the PR on climate science, that when poked, he reflexively fires back exaggerated scientific claims that would make even the IPCC blush. In 2007 the IPCC and Gore et al offered Rudd the perfect Election-Wedge-on-a-Platter. They’d primed the audience with propaganda; trained the crowd to recite: Carbon is pollution. It looked like a no-brainer. Yet having based his leadership and campaign on it, it’s obvious he had not done even the most basic of checks (and still apparently hasn’t).
It’s an abject lesson in the importance of doing some homework before rewriting a nation’s economy.
Last week Tony Abbott (the Australian opposition leader) told school children that it was warmer ”at the time of Julius Caesar and Jesus of Nazareth”. This banal line set off a flurry of denial and bluster.
Rudd was incredulous in the Parliamentary Hansard record to the opposition members last week:
…how is it that, in the 21st century, you could support this Leader of the Opposition, who says that the world was hotter in Jesus’ time? How could you actually hold to a belief, in defiance of total science around the world, that somehow in the last 2000 years the world has become cooler, not warmer? How could you stand behind a leader who says that the industrial revolution, in effect, did not happen?
In defiance of “total science”? Or totalitarian science?
It’s true it’s difficult to know the exact temperature of the globe in the year one (it’s difficult to know the exact global temperature in 1975, too), but there are scientists reporting in journals from all over the world that back up Mr Abbott. We know it really must have been warmer in Europe thanks to written historical records and artefacts that pop out of melting glaciers. As William Kinninmonth points out, Hannibal took an army of elephants across the Alps in winter in 200 BC. And we all know that the Romans are not known for wearing fur coats.
Rudd is apoplectic with the non-sequiteur about the industrial revolution: If temperatures were warmer in 10BC, somehow that nullifies the steam engine 1800 years later? In Rudd-land, no one can even imagine the parallel universe where carbon might not control the climate.

KRudd the Dudd wants to be a Big Man on the World stage like his Messiah, His God, The ONE, the Anointed, Yes, that Satanic Muslim from Kenya in the White House!!
BIG KEV just worships Obama!! He gushes like Muhammad did of "Allah" in Copenhagen on his meeting with his fellow puny cretin Obama!!
As Obama will face Treason as a Usurper and Muslim from Kenya, Lil Kev will be tossed from ?sshole to Breakfast once BHP, Rio Tinto, Anglo, etc etc, have finished with the little boy from Nambour, Queensland.
Go Kev, give us some more of your big "Aussie-Ism's" 'coz we know you're just a regular bloke!! Well at least a bloke that paid Pole Dancers and Prostitutes and put them all on the Aussie Tax Payers Tab!!
And as for your "?ucking Rat ?uckers" comment in your description of the Chinese because they wouldn't follow your "Leadership" on "Global Warming" in Copenhagen…..
You are a dirty, foul-mouthed little boy aren't you Kevin!! You told us you were a Christian, and Obama the Muslim Jihadist also told us He was a Christian!!
But now we ALL know the Truth!!
Yep Lil Kev, in a nutshell, you ARE HISTORY!!
And Not Soon Enough for Me!!
In the USA, they have a Death Penalty for Treason, and how I will celebrate when Obama the Muslim, Hater of Jews, hater of Christians and Traitor is publicly executed!!
Preferably in the way of his own people – that reserved for us Kaffirs, us "Infidel's", by Beheading!! That which he mocked publicly recently over the tragic barbaric slaughter of Daniel Pearl!!
Well Kev, sadly we cannot reserve that honour for you despite how much you copy Obama in EVERYTHING you do!! Healthcare / Cap & Trade / Global Warming / Taxing BIG OIL / Taxing the lifeblood of this Once Great Nation in our Mining Giants to try and recover the huge surplus you inherited but have now ?issed up against The Wall…..
Yes, sadly Kev, we will not see your Public Beheading – which brings me to another point – there have been more extremist Islamic Jihadist's arrive in your brief watch than in ALL the Years of John Howard's Outstanding and Fiscally brilliant Government!!
Maybe the family honour will have been offended of some lunatic Muslim fanatical Jihadist you Presented the Red Carpet to "Welcome Jihadist Muslim to Australia, we offer Shariah Finance too…..!!
So maybe, somehow through "Allah's" (i.e. Satan's) "offended" follower you have welcomed, you may yet ALSO be honoured with a savage and slow beheading as you gurgle and scream in gutless terror and agony – for this is "The Way of Allah"!!
OK, I think I have made my Point!!
God (the Real One – the God of the Jews and the Christians) Bless Israel, Australia, Britain and America!!
For we truly are the Home of the Free. But not for long if we allow the Death Cultists Free Access to our Lands!
Now Rudd's making taxpayers fit the $38.5 million advertising campaign bill for his mining tax. Only recently he branded government advertising as "a long term cancer on our democracy". What is wrong with this bloke? He has no morals and no backbone.
Enviroment well we as Australian's put very little into the atmosphere compaired to the big players and they are not going to conform but think about it this way when the polar caps melt china goes 2/3rds under water then all we have to do is keep them out. As for Rudd might be a bit of a talker but at least he is nationalizing our resources and getting some of the profits back off the mining companies most owned by oversea's investors on ya kevin. The trouble is in this country people live in a little comfortable bubble my advise is before you criticize go and have a look I travel regularly to third world countries we arn't so bad at what we do if everyone goes down the Green path we won't have any work nor money get a grip.
Living in "kruddland" is getting sillier by the day, but must admit had a laugh at top krudd getting his mouth in the way of intelligence AGAIN!
All this carbon emission crap is just another excuse to bleed money from the Australian householder.
How is the average Australian householder who already consumes less than 9% energy going to reduce emission by paying more for energy?
World overpopulation is the problem. People who choose to breed in plague proportions are the polluters of this planet.
Global warming is desirable, not undesirable. So why not work to warm the world up for real by pumping more CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere? Learn about the proposed Antarctic Volcanoes Project.

TL, a scientist did a experiment with 2 small trees, in a confined space.In the one he put the amount of carbon in atmosphere as of today (around .455) and in the second container he tripled the carbon (CO2)……….the tree in the second container, took off and loved it………grew twice as fast as the first…….NOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE!!!!!
After all we do need oxygen to breath, so thank goodness for trees etc.
