Oh, it might only be all over the internet, but the lame media can not stop it now. The silent majority has been rudely awoken, and just like a bear woken up before spring, they are angry.
Australia is erupting.
SYDNEY — A leading climate-change sceptic seized control of Australia's opposition on Tuesday, vowing to kill carbon trading legislation ahead of key UN talks.
Right-wing maverick Tony Abbott ousted Liberal Party leader Malcolm Turnbull by just one vote, 42-41, in a result that should doom marathon attempts to pass emissions laws.
A second defeat of the government bill -- aiming to cut carbon pollution by between five and 25 percent of 2000 levels by 2020 -- would give the government powers to call a snap election.
"We will oppose the legislation in the Senate -- that is the right thing to do," Abbott told reporters, adding that he was "not frightened of an election on this issue".
Turnbull had sparked a party revolt by supporting the government's carbon legislation, and warned that the centre-right Liberals faced electoral disaster if an early election were called.

"In this document we work through an example weather station—Hokitika—to illustrate our approach and methods. We also address NIWA’s response, currently on their website, that the Wellington adjustments are justified by altitude differences between stations where no time series overlap is available (Thorndon, Kelburn and Airport).
The UK is erupting.
Hulme Key Excerpt: [Upcoming UN climate conference in Copenhagen] “is about raw politics, not about the politics of science. [...] It is possible that climate science has become too partisan, too centralized. The tribalism that some of the leaked emails display is something more usually associated with social organization within primitive cultures; it is not attractive when we find it at work inside science. It is also possible that the institutional innovation that has been the I.P.C.C. has run its course. Yes, there will be an AR5 but for what purpose? The I.P.C.C. itself, through its structural tendency to politicize climate change science, has perhaps helped to foster a more authoritarian and exclusive form of knowledge production - just at a time when a globalizing and wired cosmopolitan culture is demanding of science something much more open and inclusive.
The US is erupting.
The White House on Monday made exceptionally clear that it wants nothing to do with the furor over documents that global warming skeptics say prove the phenomenon is not a threat.
Despite the incident, which rocked international headlines last week, climate science is sound, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stressed this afternoon, and the White House nonetheless believes "climate change is happening."
"I don't think that's anything that is, quite frankly, among most people, in dispute anymore," he said during Monday's press briefing.
And Canada is getting blamed??
Canada's image lies in tatters. It is now to climate what Japan is to whaling
The tar barons have held the nation to ransom. This thuggish petro-state is today the only obstacle to a deal in Copenhagen
When you think of Canada, which qualities come to mind? The world's peacekeeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbour, decent, civilised, fair, well-governed? Think again. This country's government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee's tea party.
So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so insistent have my Canadian friends been that I weigh into this fight, that I've broken my self-imposed ban on flying and come to Toronto.
So here I am, watching the astonishing spectacle of a beautiful, cultured nation turning itself into a corrupt petro-state. Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man. The price of this transition is the brutalisation of the country, and a government campaign against multilateralism as savage as any waged by George Bush.
Typical lefty, dumb as a brick, and can't get his facts straight. What's he doing in Toronto? The oil sands are in Alberta, come on and visit us, but it better be by dog sled or on cross country skis, not by air. We should see him around 2012, just in time for the world to end. HA.
Talk about over playing your hand! We now all see that all they had was a pair of threes, and some fake aces up their sleeves.

Actually, Harper is a leader, as he said in India that the Copenhagen talks were bogged down with 300 points of contention and that leaders need to look at the big picture. It is not the leadership that the green shafters want, but he is protecting our soveriegnty and forestalling a massive aid program with no goals. The e-mails only add substance to our cautious position.
Hunter, you are right. The left is in panic mode. The nonsense about Polar bears eating their own because of AGW just goes to show how much they know about polar bears. Bears have been kinown to eat their young just like many cats eat their new born.
I.m trying to send you something but your mailbox is full. I'll try again later. Cheers.
Yeah, it would be a shame if George Monbiot could use Copenhagen to build momentum for his World Parliament that he wants so badly.
carbon billionaire Al Gore is under attack at his gigs. you tube We Are Change Al Gore. fun to watch.Phil Jones resigns from CRU.Michael Mann soon to get the boot from Penn State.

I watched the Monk debate tonight and lizzie was her usual self, interrupting and pointing her finger.
She said she had read every leaked e-mail, do I believe her, NO. Did you know global warming is the cause of the increase of aids in Africa. She phoned some king over there and he told her so.
