RE lateline with Tony Jones : The man from NASA undermines the super trade talks . The man from NASA is not playing the game, or is he ?.
So now Copenhagen is not trying to do what's needed. If Politics is about compromise, it is also in this case about being totally ineffective - let alone totally incredible .
Like Rudd, these quick fiz merchants and fearmongers are prepared to compromise on what would have cost us the earth, to fix up what they said was fixing the earth . Totally incredible-that's what they are!
How can this be? Tony Jones and our polys take themeselves too seriously - after all, what do they know? . A big picture scientist up the front on Lateline would probably not answer Jones standard repeat question ; "will you please say yes or No " - he would probably take so much time to answer the question that it would be "time to move on "- how convenient, how convenient a truth is the way we talk about the truth ?
Well , we've moved on alright, and current affairs on the ABC have run out of time running the same old same old reactionary agendas .
Did James from NASA deal effectively with any of the questions? ; lets just say without being greek, that he ducked and dived in the same way a man looking to defend misplaced concreteness would be expected to do.
As a scientist I didn't learn a thing, but that NASA are employing scientists , like they do here, to defend the blinkered views they have of how the world works .
The fact that NASA and CSIRO can't be trusted to give us more than what comes from the school of mere description, ( including the now infamous schools of wild speculation and monitoring ) shows just how sorry the state of objective science is in both places in some areas.
To say anymore would be to miss the point of these very words !

And guess where Tony goes for comfort on the following night - another journo. Not just any journo, but one who really likes to follow hot air discussions - if he was so good at following he might have noted that the eagle had landed/ the balloon was running low on fuel.
Would you expect to find any dissension in the congregation? About as likely as finding Assupta in church at Ballyk.
Now its Monday 14 December and Tim Flannery is on the screen - now widely recognised as unreliable in his warnings about all sorts of things .Lateline goes nowhere because Jones wants to talk how not amounts . The wong-flannery consensus doesn't go beyond numbers - they will be happy with a big tax . How we use the money - well that can wait ! Too much change talk is not in anyones interest at this moment . See booklearnin.blogspot.com for my predication for copenhagen.
