Skeptics continue to argue, although the science is indisputable and the evidence convincing

Floods in Boulder, Colorado,
are further evidence that
our climate is changing.

Science has illustrated repeatedly, and conclusively, that humanity is headed for catastrophic climate change.

Yet the conversation about whether or not climate change is real continues unabated and if the election of a conservative government is any marker of concern, then most Australians align themselves with the skeptics.

Sitting here writing this, I can hear the television news in the background reporting on devastating floods in Colorado, U.S., in which 24cms of rain fell in just three days in Boulder, a city that normally receives only four cm of rain for all of September.

Climate change skeptics continue to hold their position, despite this overwhelming evidence that equates precisely with what the climatologists have been predicting.

With the world careering towards climate catastrophe, the Tony Abbott-led Australian Government rushes with enthusiasm to deconstruct whatever positive moves the former Labor Government had put in place to mitigate climate change.

Just today (September 13) the Melbourne Age reported that coalition MP, Dennis Jensen, who is a vocal climate science skeptic, has called on Prime Minister-elect, Tony Abbott, to appoint him as science minister.

In the midst of all this Rolling Stone magazine reports in a story headed: “Global warming is very real” that scientists continue to fight deniers with irrefutable evidence that the planet is headed for catastrophe.
