Apparantly Climate Change is Bull….a quiet Bull

bigfeet 11 August 2009 11 August 2009 3

I see that The Climate Sceptics are holding a protest against the Emissions Trading Scheme on the 13th of August at Parliament House.

This part of their website jumped out at me:

“The theme will be “Man Made Climate Change is Bull” and a quiet bull is being organised to be at the event.”

A quiet bull? Now that has got me intrigued. They will be bringing a bull to Parliament House? Any climate sceptics out there know anything about this?

What's Your Opinion?

This is what the head of ANU’s climate change institute had to say when invited to engage the “Climate Skeptics”. Worth a read.

Sounds interesting, I might wander up the road and have a look on thurs. I see they have “speeches, limericks and songs” as well as Barnaby as one of the speakers, so they’ll have the bull and the bull excrement bit covered.

It’s a well-run campaign… midget, bull, broom.
