Educational Protest against Al Gore on 13th July

Protest

All members of the community sceptical that CO2 causes climate change are most welcome to join in an "Educational protest" outside where Al Gore will be giving a speech at Docklands on Monday 13th July.

If you are interested in attending the protest and want more info, email info@climatesceptics.com.au

Billets are available for anyone travelling to this event.

We will meet at the southern end of Southern Cross station at 6.15 am to get organised for a 6.30 am start.

Please bring a placard. Try to be humourous as well as educational.
T shirts saying "Global warming? C.R.A.P. Carbon Really Ain't Pollution" will be available to buy & wear.

Leaflets with 10 questions for Al Gore will be supplied for volunteers to hand out to those attending Al Gore's Breakfast.

The event will go from 6.30 am to 7.30 am (including a few speeches at the end.)
We will then have a cuppa afterwards at Southern Cross Station to debrief.
The event will be videoed and put on Youtube.

This event will be an important one in helping to turn the community`s view about climate change around . In years to come you may like to remember you were there.

Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Yours in Scepticism.

Leon Ashby
President.
The Climate Sceptics Party.

Melbourne's Hottest Day

From Andrew Bolt's Blog:

What the preachers have seized on to blame the fires on man-made warming is that Melbourne suffered its hottest day on record—46.4C—a week before the flames roared over our towns.

Global warming, right? Wrong.

First, Melbourne did in fact have a hotter day before, four years before the Bureau of Meteorology started officially recording temperatures.

As the Argus newspaper reported at the time, the temperature on February 6, 1851, soared to 47.2C, helping to superheat the fires that then roared across 10 times more land than was burned last week.

AND despite claims that global warming is now heating this land like never before, Victoria’s highest recorded temperature is still the 50.7C measured in Mildura 103 years ago.

South Australia’s is also 50.7C, recorded 49 years ago.
NSW’s is the 50C of 70 years ago.
Queensland’s is the 49.5C of 37 years ago.
Not much recent warming obvious there.
