"Climate Change Will Kill Australians!" And So Says ABC With No Proof.


The Australian Broadcasting Corporation or as I know them when it comes to climate change and the truth  "The Australian Broadcorping Castration" are at it again with their headlong mad rush after the Brown/Gillard socialist express.

I have seriously raided Australian Climate Madness to hapilly show you how the ABC applies "lipstick to the pig"!

"...Let's scare people by saying they will die if we don't "tackle climate change"… with a pointless carbon tax that will reduce global temperatures by seven ten thousandths of a degree. The ABC, or Groupthink Central it it should be known, shamelessly and uncritically regurgitates an AAP/AFP article plugging a biased and one-sided report from the Climate Commission on the effects of climate change and health:
A new report is warning more Australians face dying in heatwaves and catching infectious diseases as a result of climate change.
A Climate Commission report out today, titled The Critical Decade, says climate change-related injury, disease and deaths will continue to grow in decades to come unless sustained action is taken.
The Climate Commission report says climbing temperatures will lead to more natural disasters and changing rainfall patterns, which will have an impact on people's health as much as on the environment.
It includes a worst-case scenario where deaths from hotter temperatures in Queensland and the Northern Territory could multiply tenfold by 2100.
Alarmist tactic number 94, throw in a worst-case scenario and lo and behold, the news agency pick up on it! Brilliant.
Report co-author Professor Lesley Hughes says even a small rise in temperature can be detrimental to people's health.
"A small rise in average temperature actually means a fairly large rise in the number of days, for example, over 35 degrees [Celsius] every year," he said.
"So as average temperatures go up, the number of extremely hot days go up in a disproportionate way. So what we're concerned about with climate change, amongst other impacts, is the impact on heat waves." (source)
I seem to recall reading that the Little Ice age was pretty shit for humanity as well. Marc at ABC News Watch has more:
Despite his expertise, surprisingly no work by [Paul] Reiter was cited in the climate commission's  report on Climate change and health. The commission has presented only one side of a complex argument.The lies of omission are the greatest lies of all. The commission's report is another example of cargo cult science in action. It is clear that the commission has no intention of fulfilling its charter to Explain the science of climate change and the impacts on Australia. It is purely a political body. I have no doubt the ABC in its coverage of this report will once again fail in their duty to ask the hard questions.
And indeed they have. They regurgitate a press release from an alarmist news agency."
