Here I was all set to knock out a Christmas column full of cheer and bonhomie but life, or more accurately, Daily Life has intervened.
I normally disapprove of intra-media byplays but Fairfax Media’s Daily Life section has become so full of cranky third wave feminism that someone needs to hold it up to the light. Among this waste of ink and kilobyte street corner psychobabble, comes a contribution from self described feminist Polly Dunning who tells her harrowing tale of giving birth to a shame boy. The good news is she’s slowly getting over it.
I’m not allowed to swear anymore, at least not at volume but this is sorely testing my already fragile grip on self-control.
At first blanch this was merely another addition from women who have recently given birth and have come to believe that having done so, they have unlocked the secrets of the universe. But on further reading this is a tale of a woman not just at war with men but also her own male child.
Full column here.

Short answer No, you goose. Too busy. More later.
If you think you spotted a chink in my armour you are mistaken. Unless it was my manservant hiding again?
Didn’t make the New Year, sadly. Vale.

No need to cogitate too deeply JB, but during your deliberations bear in mind that nearly 60% of the earth’s land surface is already uninhabitable. And much of the remainder is not too flash for pitching the tent either.
So I guess if (and its a BIG “if”) you’re still prophesying armageddon, it will not be such a biggie Revelation after all me old mate.
I see Father Mulcahy from MASH died too.
If you are having trouble with your manservant here’s a tip.

Bassman 10:28pm .
Just a reminder you often saying the Murdock Press who has a strong market with 70%readers , you saying all those qualified press editorials are bias and wrong but your figures right .
Just lookingnover articles Shanahan Judith Sloane Paul Kelly Sheridan C Kenny Graham Lloyd Richo Sam Maiden John Black Gerard Henderson , the list goes on . You condemn them as you post at times , so that explains why you don’t believe the science . I would read Judith Curry if younwant more accurate figures on debts and deficits being hard balanced on both parties .I am not a Turnbull fan but conservatives coming to power 317 billion debts from Labor ,249 billion deficits leaving 60 billion hidden debts after 2013 election , Bowan budget turned out 48 billion , you see why these Australian editorialists need to be priority comes to economics .
Don’t let yourself down by dodging these reputable writers on economics and science matters also , stop whinging over me following Roberts who have not posted on him till he proves himself .
All I said to you once he went to a university in Chicago studying science and climatology being in the top 10 unis in
America .Lets just wait on his term if he performs and no doubts he will stuff up in some points. I will let scientists do the talking , not your failed 6 predictions raised by failed spin doctor Tim Flannery who is not even a climatologist , but a zoologist where he belongs.If you want all those predictions sent again he got wrong starting from desal plants onwards tied in with climate he stuffed up , I will be glad to send them having the list .
Go have a break and leave your toys idle for some time.
Cheers.
Rodent=Delusional. Sad.
Oldies could flock to this although there are probably not enough of them affected to dislodge a government. The Looters lost a million voters last time though.

JB 98:08am.
Just one thing laughing at your reply and love you throwing all at me .
You mention millions of tons ice melting , that ok by me seeing Arctic but,” Where after all that is the 80cms rise Al Gore and Flannery uni speeches bellowing on about”? The coastal levels have not risen , again by scientists .
Be careful on scare campaigns JB bynthe billionaires club fleecing your pockets old mate!
Sit back and when we see the politicians scientists panicking JB ,..then we know we are in trouble .
BTW read Graham Lloyd article benefits of higher Co2 ,..careful of those sharks inthe streets, JB!
LIKE my mrs says JB ,..”Good fortune for you if you wait”.
JB .
Sorry old mate polishing up last two lines ….
“hard at work and get yourself out of the moron club”.

Just a thought.
Is it possible to reverse the order of entries on the blog – ie putting the latest first.
One can currently get to the end fairly quickly if using a Windows browser but I cannot find a fast way to get to the end on an IPad. It takes quite awhile when the entries grow in number.
I can change the order. What do others think?
I think that’s a great idea JackSprat and JTI
It is a bit of a pain having to scroll through on an IPad but happy we are all here so whatever is easiest.
Having a bit of a slob day today as there is no cricket, it’s the Star Wars pop-up channel and reading……yes I know but it is on mute…….Jar Jar Binks is infinitely better with no sound.
Great idea Jack.
Presently the blog allows you to hit the home arrow which takes you to top, but then have to scroll down to the latest comments. This is a pain late in the blog’s life.
To see the most current at the top makes sense, and then scroll down for threads you are interested in. You could have a toggle to go to the bottom of the page, but starting from the top makes more sense.
Cheers
Lou
Yep, newest on top would be great JTI
Ok. I’ll fix this up for the new column tomorrow.
I think that’d be much easier JTI if you can arrange it.
Your blog’s so easy on an IPad but it does take a while to scroll through to the end if there’s over 500 posts.
Thanks for the thought, Bella
I think Yes for looking on a touch device of one’s own choosing. But also, a Top or Bottom button is pretty easily programmable in HTML.
My problem is before, I could scroll from anywhere on the page, middle, top, bottom
Now, I can ONLY scroll from the right side? Anyone else like dis? That said…Jack has done a great job setting all this up. Humble servant of the nation with many talents…hee hee.
I guess that means you’re always going left Bassy?
That explains a few things Bassy –
Bit of a true confession there – coming from the right and going to the left. Wonders never cease 🙂
JB 09:08am
Next on your conspiracy drive we expect Sydney harbour will be boiling , Sharks as Flannery told a university crowd will be swimming in Sydney streets .I feel sorry for yku JB over the moon landing being real and 911 WTC you say
Americans involved , shows mate you are mentally unfit and need “urgent attention” . How can you expect to qualify and mentally stable , then enter into any climate discussions knowing you are laughed at over years? You obviously missed out on the Santa gifts of science books along with history books then allow yourself to degenerate into stuff you don’t understand .When scientists add more needed to be done and backed by IPCC Nasa being inconclusive data , I expect JB you may understand that. Implicating yourself into indocrinated idealogy before scientific facts , shows you are persistently lost with the tenacity determination of goating yourself into the net as you often do being short on top comes to brains .
Another thing , that ridicule scrap book of duplications shows your mental capacity to enter into human discussions just defeats your purpose of competitive in the subjects of climate having year 4 mentality extracts like that .You are a monumental failure JB not having pragmatic coherence to undsrstand that when scientists say inconclusive .well it remains that way till confirmation reports follow. Get your head out of your bum JB ? Also,…cut the rhetric , reinvigorate your life into reality while keep your ears open on climatologists hard at wkrk and get out of the morkn club, while at it , drag Bassman out with you.
Cheers.
Bassman 10:28 pm .
When are you going to surrender all this exaggerated nonsense as I must explain to you once again that you are totally ignorant , times lerceptive but you never follow the scientists saying” inconclusive evidence” .You lacking” coherence” adding the fact bloggers remind you not having pragmatic posts so fallacious with exaggeration having bloggers picked you up on a reputations all over the shop. NOT MUCH AUTHENTIC POSTS THESE DAYS BASSMAN! Your hand in hand with JB has dragged you into the gutter comes to facts with him still reading his regular conspiracy where bloggers soon sorted him out on past facts he won’t admit on. I challenge you to come up with your bullshit that you once said after Al Gore speech ,”if the Arctic melts significantly , seas will rise 80cms you once said ” I challenge you to repeat that ! Scientists NZ have completed findings are the same as varies average 3cms on ElNinos etc. Pacific Is will be disappearing after you believed Flannery 2006 speech . Show me evidence on evacuations as Al Gore stated that people will have to go to NZ .You believed all this crap you told me when Arctic melts
Your GBR ,, I sent on the Blog scientists GBRMPA says after cyclone Yasi assessment 2011 is growing in coral 6%a year after that damage as will Pacific Islands coral . Cyclones decreasing lacking maritime heat , only one last year.
Your problem is left wing idealogy comes before scientists work.
Stop listening to fake internet garbage with disgruntle scientists turfed out being too political and not following their work accordingly how scientists should . Tune into likes of Prof Lindzen and Judith Curry group of scientists and move away from your mad AbiasC deceitful bias reports now have you at gutter level education of false reports.
,
But what if Lindzen and Curry are wrong, Rodent? Surely climate change requires the assessment and management of risk. What do we say to our grandchildren if large parts of the planet become uninhabitable? Sorry but we backed the wrong horse because it suited our ideological purposes at the time?
Hear, Hear.
Saw the corollary of this once. A bloke wrote “If those who support climate change are wrong in their predictions…well, nothing will happen but if the denialists are wrong there will be catastrophic events”.
I even read where Rupert once said “Let’s give the planet the benefit of the doubt” .
I even read where Rupert once said “Let’s give the planet the benefit of the doubt”. The government of which Abbott was a senior minister believed on the balance of probabilities that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that something should be done about it. The Liberals invaded Iraq and found that their evidence was wrong-there was NOTHING THERE! The evidence for global warming is a lot stronger than was the evidence for Weapons of Mass Destruction and the War of Terror.

“If the Arctic melts significantly, seas will rise 80cms” you once said …..Please don’t verbal me. I have never said this. I said this….”sea levels have risen about 8inches since 1880 and sea temp 1.5F.” But that is NOT the point. The point is the RATE of CHANGE. Temps and sea levels are increasing at a rate faster than ever before since recordings were started. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are 40% higher than pre-industrial (before factories were invented!). The climate is at its warmest in the last 1000years.

Gore? I don’t think I have mentioned his name on this blog EVER but I agree with just about everything he says. Get ready for his new film about to be released!
Should really get you, Alan, Bolt, Plimer and the disgraced Bob Carter will need increased blood pressure scripts.

Look at this…a 5yr old could comprehend it. Throw your hat in the ring and have a go. They are ALL WRONG according to you.

Jean Baptiste (9,08am 2/1)
I see your latest AGW missive to Rodent included:
“Ultimately you will represent yourself as a better man than those who fought for awareness of the peril, because they in their full knowledge were laggardly in preventing the disaster.”
But wait JB …… there won’t be a living soul left who will be “representing” anyone or anything. We’re all going to perish, remember. Your man McPherson said so.
Or do your 2017 comments signal the beginning of an indication that you are now having doubts about the extent of the calamity that you earlier believed would befall us all.
Now, I wouldn’t be so audacious as to suggest that you’re furiously backpeddaling JB, but think I spot a chink in the armour me old mate.
Yvonne 09:27am.
Problem with Bassman is he has been holding hands with JB too long never able to think for himself using fake figures and idealogy from the cheer squad hate club never any solutions to follow
Calling Dutton names when everyone else calls the man as passionate letting out 2000 kids plus from Labors locked up prisons , then you can’t get any reply from him . For a man educated , does not show any credentials adding the facts bloggers catch him out on fake reports. Going off on fake figures , does not earn you credability as I can never get answers from him on the Costello time securing this country from GFC when everyone else sees figures but not him .
No point exaggerating inthis world , call it as it is like I keep telling that global warming is steady rising since the ice age but throwing in bullshit idealogy first before facts leaves him crazy and stupid just like JB never any real commonsense locked into a distorted world .We must follow the scientists who saying inconclusive evidence so far knowing Co2 risen sharply has halted rises since 1998 .
These idiots Bassman and JB don’t understand science and facts , they quote locations some higher then others while North America is recording freezing temperatures in winter getting worse every year. They won’t give answers as usual. Always whinging these blokes hen bloggers many here state facts crueling them on hysteria and lids they generate. You can’t negotiate commonsense to dead-heads well indocrinated against experts in climatology
These bloke only indocrinated into their little world of idealogy before science and they many times shamed by bloggers here knowing how f……g stupid they are allowing themselves to deteriate into kindergarden levels .
They yet to get back to me on why the sea levels still constant after big melt in Arctica or scientists saying shifting to one side , I am out on that one . You can’t get through to humans that are stupid leaving me I must be mad arguing with them.
cheers Yvonne .
