It's 100% gone just like the GALP

You really are a simpleton, aren’t you? No political nouse whatever.

Bwhahahaha says monk who has been proven wrong on every political prediction he's ever made

[Jovial Monk]

Have I? Then the bets I placed on McKew beating Howard in Bennelong in 2007 shouldn’t have been paid out on? Or the other winning bets?

Nah. Fortunately we won’t find out if Abbott would cancel the Carbon Price (nope) because he will never be PM.

[IQS.RLOW]

You also said Kev would be PM for evar


ALP polling would turn 12 months ago and every month there after
Malcolm would roll Abbott
ALP would get a bigger majority in 2010

The list goes on and on and on

[Jovial Monk]

Got any links to that catalogue of rubbish?

Julia will win over Abbott—one look at his net approval figures would say that. But you need some understanding of psephology to see that.

BTW the latest Newspoll—24% were uncommitted, refused to answer etc etc—if you are a Lib I would not draw much comfort from it.

If the pictures of those towering wildfires in Colorado haven't convinced you, or the size of your AC bill this summer, here are some hard numbers about climate change: June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States. That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe.

Meteorologists reported that this spring was the warmest ever recorded for our nation – in fact, it crushed the old record by so much that it represented the "largest temperature departure from average of any season on record." The same week, Saudi authorities reported that it had rained in Mecca despite a temperature of 109 degrees, the hottest downpour in the planet's history.

The Greenland ice sheet melted at a faster rate this month than at any other time in recorded history, with virtually the entire ice sheet showing signs of thaw.
The rapid melting over just four days was captured by three satellites. It has stunned and alarmed scientists, and deepened fears about the pace and future consequences of climate change.

Sure looks like it is melting to me.

So you have illustrated the problem.

Monk has pointed out that not only is the ice receding, it's receding faster than it ever has before.

Newfie you have pointed out that the last time in history that there was less ice than there is now was one hundred and thirty thousand years ago.

The peak concentration that co2 got to during that last interglacial was 285 ppm. We are now at 310 ppm.. We have cored going back six hundred and fifty thousand years... Through six previous interglacials... It has never been this high.

The rate of melting and he concentration of co2 both being the highest ever is probably not a coincidence.
