Because the day to day weather is highly variable one cannot attribute the severity of any specific weather event (such as the current La Niña-associated Queensland and Eastern and Southern Australian floods) to man-made global warming.
However increased greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution leads successively to global warming, increased sea temperature, increased evaporation and thence to increased precipitation.
Indeed the incidence of floods has greatly increased throughout the world over (…)

Climate Emergency Network, La Niña, Climate Change & Queensland flood disaster - stop burning coal & gas
15 January 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria in Australia are currently ravaged by floods associated with the latest La Niña climate event. However man-made global warming from greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution has increased sea temperatures and increased the likelihood and severity of such flood disasters. The Climate Emergency Network has issued a statement urging Australia, a world-leading per capita GHG polluter, to stop burning coal and gas.
Queensland, Australia, continues to be ravaged by (…) -

1 commentA proposal for 1,000 MW gas-fired power plant to be built 1.5 kilometres from the SE Queensland, Australia Lockyer Valley town of Gatton (population 6,000) has drawn the ire of local residents. The local Lockyer Valley Regional Council (LVRC) has rejected an application from the proponent, Westlink, to build the plant. Westlink is appealing this decision of the council. [1].
The local opposition to the gas-fired power plant has been stated by Chris Hall of Keep Lockyer Rural: “[ re (…) -
Australian hypocrisy & Mainstream media censorship over 20 million Muslim refugees & Christmas Is horror
21 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
The Age newspaper of Melbourne is arguably Australia’s most “liberal” newspaper. However, as described below, even after the horrendous Christmas Island (Australia) refugee disaster (50 refugees killed in a wrecked boat) The Age still censors the Awful Truth about 20 million Muslim refugees that anti-Asian Apartheid Australia has helped the US generate.
The Age (part of the Australian Fairfax media empire) is certainly more ethical and progressive than the Australian taxpayer-funded (…) -
WikiLeaks saga elicits Censorship & active Genocide Ignoring by Australian Mainstream Media
17 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Two major features of WikiLeaks are that (1) the leaked cables simply provide documentary confirmation what sensible people had surmised already about the war criminal, genocidal US Alliance and US state terrorism; and (2) the real scandal that neither WikiLeaks nor Mainstream media (MSM) will report the horrendous carnage of 8 million dead so far in the US War on Terror.
Below is documentary evidence of how one of Australia’s leading "liberal" newspapers, The Age (Melbourne), actively (…) -
Pro-US Australian Labor Government threats to WikiLeaks & Julian Assange => decent Oz will Put Labor Last
10 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Leading WikiLeaks figure, Julian Assange, is an Australian-born Australian citizen (see Wikipedia: ). So far the WikiLeaks releases re Australia have exposed what US officials thought of PM Rudd (“control freak”); Rudd’s advocacy of US war with China and Australian soldiers for war in Pakistan; successful lobbying of the Labor Government by BHP Billiton to block a $21 billion Chinese investment in mining giant Rio Tinto; revelation of secret Australian Government pessimism over the (…)

Radically changing 2-Party Australian & Western politics: how Greens can force required climate action
5 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
World action on climate change was sabotaged at Copenhagen in 2009 by the US with the help of other world leading per capita polluters, notably Australia. Now we are seeing a re-run of Copenhagen at Cancun. However progressive people in the 2-Major Party Western Lobbyocracies can do something to force requisite strong action on man-made climate change - they can adopt a radical strategy of refusing to support the more progressive but still woefully inadequate major party (Labour in the UK, (…)

The Great Cholesterol Deception
November 17, 2010
By Dr. Peter Dingle
Millions of Australians are prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs – statins like Pravachol®, Zocor® and Lipitor® – each year at a cost of more than $1 billion dollars with very little, if any, benefit. In the US, some 40 million people currently take statins at a cost of more than $3.00 per pill, more than $1,000 per year, totalling more than $40 billion a year. While there are many exaggerated claims and a lot of (…) -

Finding the real “faceless men” behind Gillard in the MSM
by Dadon and Rudd
Before he began promoting Julia Gillard, Israel Lobbyist, Albert Dadon (see attached photo from The Age, 29/6/2010), was “one of Kevin Rudd’s most trusted kitchen cabinet advisers on Israel” (The Age 25/6/09). Pre-PM Rudd was cultivated by Dadon, who had organised two trips to Israel for him. Dadon also foundered the Australia-Israel Cultural Exchange (see insert photo of the AICE magazine, (…) -
Expose US war crimes by "proceeds of crime" prosecution of former Australian PM Howard over his memoirs
15 November 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentThe leaders of the US Alliance have yet to face war crimes trials before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for their involvements in the Iraqi Genocide (4.4 million deaths, 1990-2010) and the Afghan Genocide (4.9 million deaths, 2001-2003).
However Australian Guantanamo Bay prisoner David Hicks (who has committed no offences against Australian or International law) is reportedly under investigation by Australian authorities for a possible “proceeds of crimes” prosecution over the (…)
