Australia Climate Council revived after being axed
BBC News ^ | September 24, 2013

An Australian climate change body scrapped by the new government has been relaunched as a non-profit organisation reliant on public donations.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott axed the Climate Commission, set up by the previous government, last week.

But the group resurrected itself as the Climate Council, saying it hoped "Obama-style" public donations raised online would keep it open.

Then they need to be outlawed, like the MuzzieBroz in Egypt.

They have no authority under the law, so, keeping the doors open doesn’t mean much.

"Supporters of the rebranded Climate Council say it will provide impartial and fearless advice about impending threats to Australia from more bushfires, droughts and rising sea levels, the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney reports."

Praise be to the IPCC.

Let's see how well they do when they've been cut off from swilling at the public trough.

They never quit. They just reform, rename, and retry later. They know that, if they can survive, eventually they will have another sympathetic government.

The climate change data has been discredited for nearly half-a-decade, but the hoaxers are still pushing it. It is too lucrative for them to just let it die. They have too many years of effort invested in it.

Lies, bigger lies. With enough fancy packaging, lies sell. Just ask most elementary kids about paper or plastic, etc.

PM Abbott should have the group investigated by Aussie law enforcement.

If they are untruthful in their statements made for donations, pull the non profit tax status and prosecute for fraud, criminal organization or cult.

In case of environmental violence, charge terrorism, and charge donors for funding it.

“obama style” donations? Translated from Australian, that means “illegal”. I am further convinced that all LIBs everywhere should be jailed.

This applies to EVERY liberal idea and philosophy. Make someone else pay for it, by force of government. And then they have the gonads to accuse conservatives of wanting to "control" THEM. Makes my blood boil!
