For what it is worth this word is entereing the venacular , just thought I would put it out there

Ineptocracy  (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where  the least capable to  lead are elected by the least capable of  producing, and where the  members of society least likely to sustain  themselvesor succeed, are  rewarded with goods and services paid for by  theconfiscated wealth  of a diminishing number of  producers.

Hi Denise,

Try this for real Green House Gas generation - for use in a greenhouse.

Runs off propane or butane to create 2,3,4, times greater CO2 than natural CO2.

Ah Michaelng,

It's not the kiddies drinks you should be worried about, it's the beer production and wine making.

These are great producers of CO2.

Don't tell Gillard, Swan and Combet though.

Warning Shortage Of Carbon Dioxide

Will This Mean A Drop In Carbon Tax

Carbonated Soft drinks may be scarce due to lack of production of Carbon Dioxide

Al, post on the Galileo discussion too. A lot of people look there. People like Pur ves and Wooton need to be discussed because although riding an ice polar bear down George Street is not exactly being in the background, it does show the ability they have to 'get people in' by spending lots of money.

I have to thank the ABC because, until recently, Purves and Wooton have been in the background somewhat. Why people who would seem to be intelligent businessmen would associate themselves with the likes of Tim Flannery is quite remarkable. I wonder indeed what is in it for them? Is it for the historical accolades of "saving the planet" they have seen themselves receiving from a naive public? Is it really altruism? Imagine funding that book full of inaccuracies by Flannery. I really have to wonder about their intelligence.
But then Julia Gillard is said to be of high intelligence so I suppose I am answering my own question.

Indeed Bev, he will. How interesting that he comes out now when he has not really  been in the public eye previously.

He does have a lot a stake reputation wise to convince people on climate change or AGW it is obvious. He has been at it for years. This is a very interesting read.

"This is not to parallel the friendly takeover of environmentalism in the past decade with the self-interested clout exerted by those funding Australia’s carbon lobby. Wootton and Purves might gain from generating carbon credits on their farms, but by all reports their philanthropy is driven by genuine altruism rather than vested interest. However, they embody much of what movement insiders cite as problematic – neo-liberal minded corporate greenies chasing incremental results based on ‘what’s possible’. So perhaps it’s inevitable that, as more groups come to rely heavily on the same patronage, the environment movement’s centre of gravity has shifted."

Inside The Perverted Intellect Of The True Believer

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Steven Goddard

If you put a block of ice inside a dry pot, and put it on a stove with the lid on – the ice will melt and the level of the water will steadily increase. It will not go down for a few minutes and then come back up later. This is basic physics. As the number of molecules of liquid water steadily increases, the level of the water has to steadily increase too. There is no physical mechanism which will allow the level of the water to temporarily decline – even for one second.

If the ice caps are steadily melting, then sea level has to go up every year. Sea level can not be going down, and the ice be melting at a record rate, and ocean heat content be increasing. It is physically impossible, and if you start arguing that it can happen because of statistics – it is because you are spectacularly incompetent to discuss the subject.
