RE Dr Karl Kruszelnicki from GLW link -
"I see geosequestration as a useful short-term thing. In 10 years we will probably still be burning coal so the question is whether we catch the emissions or just release them. But you can't keep doing that forever."

Both so called 'clean coal technology' [sic] and geosequestration aka 'carbon capture & storage' are fallacies.
Both are prohibitively expensive and neither actually achieves the desired results.
Both fables are just coal industry filibuster trying to avoid the inevitable.

Considering CCC has preferenced Pauline Hanson and Family First

Until last year, the man John Howard appointed to advise him on science policy was Dr Robert Batterham.
How confident can Australians be that he provided independent advice?

At the same time that Dr Batterham was working as the PM's chief scientist, he was earning an estimated $700,000 a year as a director of Rio Tinto, a company with a huge vested interest in Australia's carbon policy.

Taxpayers also fund the Commonwealth Government's Australian Greenhouse Office.
Gwen Andrews was its chief executive for four years, including the period John Howard was meant to be deliberating whether to ratify Kyoto. According to Andrews, he did not ask her for a single briefing.

Dr Graeme Pearman was for many years the head of the CSIRO's Division of Atmospheric Research and reveals that CSIRO scientists were gagged under pressure from the Government.
They were not allowed to talk about the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

HOWARD LIVING IN NUCLEAR FAIRYLAND

Mr Howard's announcement that Australia must 'consider' nuclear
power as a solution to the climate change issue shows that he either
does not know or does not care about the arguments that have been
raised against nuclear power for decades. They display a degree of
ignorance - or worse, ideological bias - that ill-fits a prime
minister, who clearly does not understand the realities of nuclear
power. He is living in a nuclear fairyland.
