CSIRO corrupted by Carbonerra

Even the numerous state departments of Agriculture and Forestry are so cowed that not one scientist is prepared to say out loud that, over the life of a cow or a tree, there are ZERO net emissions or extractions of carbon dioxide.

It’s time to de-politicise the Australian government science industry. The once great CSIRO has abandoned objective climate research in favour of global warming activism.

This started with its selective promotion of extreme drought scenarios. With a portfolio of unproven climate models to choose from, CSIRO chose the extreme ones to support the alarmist Garnaut report. Then CSIRO applied pressure on staff who disagreed with Penny Wong’s ETS. The last straw was the recent appointment of CSIRO’s Chairman – he is a lawyer whose day job is a merchant banker with a huge vested interest in carbon trading. He is a global warming alarmist whose long term climate observations are taken on weekends from his yacht in Port Phillip Bay. Both CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology are now focused, not on climate research or weather forecasting, but on holding secret meetings to discuss how to spread alarmist propaganda on man-made global warming. Even the numerous state departments of Agriculture and Forestry are so cowed that not one scientist is prepared to say out loud that, over the life of a cow or a tree, there are ZERO net emissions or extractions of carbon dioxide. All government science organisations should be removed from the ACT (Australian Carbon Territory) and the corroding influence of Carbonerra City. They should be directed by scientists and producers from the agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining and processing industries they supposedly serve. Finally, government research projects should have a specific life and goal and be put out to tender. For a report on CSIRO drought alarmism see (click here):
