    This article has been severely panned in Deltoid :- Deltoid

    The Australian wasn't content to publish Phil Chapman's silly ice-age article, but also published a news story that treated it like a legitimate scientific paper. Now, instead of publishing a correction to Chapman's falsehoods from a climate scientist they have an article by Christopher Pearson. Even though it was the Australian which published Chapman's piece a few days earlier, almost half of Pearson's article was a quote or paraphrase of Chapman.

    Pearson also gives the view of climate science you get from the Australian's bunker:
    read on
    and as you might expect it has spawned a rash of sceptics circulating it and claiming AGW is dead.

    Believe this article & you (generalised) need medical treatment

    Hint: Click the 'silly ice-age article' link in the quote and see what comments posters make of it

    Do you people ever read beyond the headlines?

    But this year's temperatures would still be way above the average - and we would soon exceed the record year of 1998 because of global warming induced by greenhouse gases.
    That's from one of Poptech's precious links.

    You've lost the debate on this. Global warming is happening.

    Even as much as you would wish it Alana, I don’t need treatment but I fear you may.

    To save time, I suggest you read the only link in Poptech’s post probably considered reliable by most scientists i.e.
    Coolest Winter Since 2001 For U.S., Globe, According To NOAA Data
    (or the other science daily one)........

    and I would be most grateful if you could pick out the bit where it says words to the effect that the GW phase is over and Global cooling is about to happen – I think I must have missed it.

    (PS, by all means read the other links, most of which I have, and direct us to the original peer-reviewed papers that the oft repeated crackpot deniers quoted have published)

    This is a serious one,with two very large tropical/reef fish tanks totalling 100sq ft and 1.25 ft wide, are there any problems that MMGW/CC can cause the fish?

    I'm not going to take a blog with e-mails that can easily be faked above accredited reports and news articles.

    As for your cache link, again have you read it? Even the 'unaltered' version reads:

    "But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years."

    I'm also slightly suspicious of your animated GIF, because the editing time of the article hasn't changed between the 'old' and 'new' versions of the story.
