Rudd government to introduce an ETS based on consumption not production?

By Mark Bahnisch on June 15, 2010

Writing in today’s Fin, Laura Tingle, who’s normally very well informed, reports on work being done in the Department of Climate Change on a new version of the ETS, this time based on consumption not production. The idea is that [...]

Jesus wept

By Mark Bahnisch on May 10, 2010

Tony Abbott has been explaining to Adelaide primary school children that we’re in an age of global cooling. Biblical Palestine was warmer, it seems, when Our Lord trod the desert sands. Read all about it at Still Life With Cat.

By Mark Bahnisch on February 19, 2010

I went to a circus and a science debate broke out

By Mercurius on February 12, 2010

Today I attended the debate between UNSW computer scientist Dr Tim Lambert (author of Deltoid blog) and Lord Viscount Christopher Monckton of Brenchley. The venue was the Hilton Hotel Grand Ballroom, and attendance was about 60% of capacity, that is [...]

Shock! Horror! Political journosphere shocked by the ALP playing politics!

By Mark Bahnisch on February 5, 2010

Ben Eltham has a wrap up of the week in politics at New Matilda. It’s certainly fair to say that it certainly didn’t go all the Coalition’s way. What surprises me about the commentary we’ve seen in the lead up [...]

The cultural politics and sociology of anti-science in Tony Abbott's Australia

By Mark Bahnisch on February 4, 2010

Overland editor Jeff Sparrow has a great piece in Crikey today, reflecting on the significance of Christopher Monckton’s tour of Australia. If you’re not signed up, I’d strongly urge you to take out a trial subscription to read the whole [...]

Joyce and Monckton: Singing from the same hymn book

By Mark Bahnisch on February 4, 2010

Peter Hartcher on Barnaby Joyce’s address to the Press Club: ”Because we represent the alternative government in Australia, that does not mean that we are omnipotent and that our views permeate to become the views of everyone else. We have [...]

The politics of 'direct action' on Climate Change

By Mark Bahnisch on February 3, 2010

After last night’s round of interviews with Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce, one thing is clear about the Coalition’s climate change policy. No one believes in it. They’ve come to this pass because of the momentum of the twin drives [...]

So, just whose policy sounds more complex now?

By Mark Bahnisch on February 2, 2010

Presiding as he has been over the Nationals-isation of the Liberal Party, Tony Abbott might pause to consider one of Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s bon mots: You can’t straddle both sides of a barbed-wire fence. The first stage of selling the Coalition’s [...]

The politics of climate change, the impossibility of conservatism, and the role of the imaginary

By Mark Bahnisch on January 4, 2010

One of the accusations frequently made by climate change deniers or ‘skeptics’ against those who would like to see concerted action taken to ameliorate the impacts of anthropogenic global warming is that of being somehow apocalyptic. A related charge is [...]
