Members of the Aboriginal community sit on a property at Roebourne in the north of Western Australia, just 30 kms from the booming mining town of Karratha in June 2008. Australia's outback Aborigines will be among the worst affected by climate change as soaring temperatures likely cause more disease and spur distress about the changing landscape, a new report shows.

That’s retarded. What about people who are now in danger of freezing to death, if global warming is true, then they will most benefit from it.

In the words of Theresa Heinz Kerry, “shove it scumbag”.

"That's a lie! We deserve the biggest share of the carbon credits!"

Women and minorities yadda yadda.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

They were there before the white man.
They’ll be there after the white man.

I guess another way to spell hubris is l-i-b-e-r-a-l.

Yeah, right. A culture that has been around best anyone can tell about 30-50 thousand years...

[shankbear]

This group has been around for thousands of years. Their culture has probably seen so many climate changes that this is just a yawner. Or have they become spoiled to modern ways as opposed to their “natural” situation? The climate has always changed.

Hmmm.... sounds like American Aborigines will be freezing their, um, feet, off tonight. especially if they live in the North!

[TheConservativeParty]

I’ll switch places with them! It’s gonna be -21 here tomorrow night! A balmy -18 tonight and a high of -6 tomorrow.

   The outback could look like this before you know it!

[facedown]

Ah, another faux article from The Onion.....oh, wait.....

[yorkie01]

I’d bet my bottom dollar that Australia’s aborigines could care less about global warming. They simply don’t have any money-grubbing lawyers or money-grubbing leftwingers in this dog fight.

[Fresh Wind]

Don’t laugh, distress about the changing landscape is very often fatal, especially if you’re a protected minority.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

I bet by tomorrow a lot of New Yorkers will be wishing for a bit more global warming.

[Fresh Wind]

Wow, that mesa’s a butte!

Cicero,
That is a great photo.
The Polar bears, the polar bears.
The children, the children.

If it keeps getting colder this whole global warming thing could boomerang on the enviros.

I can remember a time when scientific papers were not authored by soothsayers.
