    *ABC hatchet job fails to suppress global warming truth*

"Four hundred years ago, Johannes Kepler, the man who discovered 
universal gravity, actually refuted the method of the IPCC report, of 
statistical analysis, as being like Plato's Cave, of seeing the shadows 
on the wall ... as being reality. But these guys are just looking at the 
statistics of what they are empirically seeing, that's 'true' for them. 
Now Johannes Kepler actually proved that the previous models before him 
were incorrect, method-wise. Method is very important---that's the crux 
of it."

When LaRouche Youth Movement member Lucas Duncan intervened in the 
studio audience discussion following the ABC broadcast of the Great 
Global Warming Swindle, he went to the heart of the scientific debate. 
Minutes earlier, marine geologist Bob Carter's assertion that 1998 was 
the "hottest year on record", and the earth had since cooled, was howled 
down by IPCC mouthpiece Prof. David Karoly, who insisted that a 
statistical analysis using averages showed the earth had warmed. The 
average of the three years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was warmer than the 
average of the three years 1997, 1998 and 1999, and a linear projection 
between those averages showed global warming, he said (see graph 1

Carter's use of physical measurements shows the earth has cooled since 
1998; Karoly's statistical averages shows warming. The difference, is 
method. Kepler proved statistical averages are flawed, and a fraud. The 
standard solar systems models prior to Kepler---those of Ptolemy, 
Copernicus and Tycho Brahe---all had planets orbiting in perfect 
circles, despite the observed contradiction that the planets sped up, 
and slowed down (perfect circles would have caused uniform motion). The 
contradiction was dismissed, by each model using an average of the 
planets time and speed (called mean time). Kepler rejected the use of 
average time, and insisted on taking the actual observed measurements, 
and in doing so, made the most profound discoveries in astronomy: that 
the planetary orbits were elliptical, and swept out equal areas in equal 
times. The rest is scientific history.

The ABC's host Tony Jones called this a "slightly obscure point to be 
making" and didn't give the "scientists" on the panel the opportunity to 
answer. But by that time, it was just another example of the sheer bias 
in the ABC's handling of the broadcast.

The ABC crafted the "expert" panel to create a predictable effect. Out 
of the eight panelists, Bob Carter was the only scientist supporting 
Durkin's general hypothesis. Professor Carter recently reported at a 
Lavoisier Group meeting, that the ABC invited and disinvited him several 
times and at that time he still didn't know whether he'd be on the 
panel. He had never experienced this type of behaviour in his entire 
academic career.

Tony Jones ridiculed Martin Durkin's failure to identify Fred Singer's 
period as head of the US National Satellite Weather Service as the early 
1960s, but the ABC had told William Kininmonth, the head of the 
Australian Bureau of Meteorology's National Climate Centre (for twelve 
years until 1998) and a former Australian delegate to the World 
Meteorological Organization Commission for Climatology, that he was not 
required on the expert panel, despite the fact that he said he would be 
available. Why would the ABC prefer to feature Mont Pelerinite Ray Evans 
and former punk rock band member, Michael Duffy over Kininmonth? The ABC 
also knowingly picked Robyn Williams for his howling protests against 
Durkin's film going to air. However, Williams was quite happy having 
genocidalist, Dr John Reid on his Ockham's Razor program last year. Dr 
Reid said a "humane way to reduce the population might be to put 
something in the water, a virus that would be specific to the human 
reproductive system and would make a substantial proportion of the 
population infertile." Dr Reid made numerous hideous statements on 
population control without a whimper of protest from Williams. At the 
end Williams merely said, "Some startling suggestions there from John 
Reid..."

Most of the so-called errors that Martin Durkin made, were not errors at 
all and any honest scientist will tell you, in most part the criticism 
of Durkin's charts was baseless and even fraudulent. The 1990 IPCC 
report showed temperatures were clearly higher during the Medieval 
period. This was too inconvenient for the global warmers, so since 2001 
the IPCC has attempted to rewrite history, by using what is known as the 
hockey stick graph. (see graph 2 
<mailbox:///C%7C/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/0sb5vw5w.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=640835540#graph_2>) 
The hockey stick is a proven fraud and the computer program used to 
generate it, produced hockey sticks from just about any set of data! 
This is the "up-to-date graph" Durkin didn't use.

If the ABC had integrity, it would now subject Al Gore's movie to 
similar scrutiny, and a similar debate. That probably won't happen, but 
the widespread recognition of the bias in the broadcast means that many 
Australians know that what they were exposed to contains truths, despite 
the efforts to discredit it.
