Australian CO2 output has no global effect

Here’s my real-world response to Jim’s and Paul’s letters. The Royal Society and USA NAS study concluded there would be no change in CO2 levels or temperature for 1000years EVEN IF the entire world stopped greenhouse gas emissions today. See...

Politicians complicit in Queensland grab

As readers are aware, after the rain in the Northern Darling Watershed, the NSW Government initially placed a ban on water harvesting from the flood plain and in the process called for Queensland to do the same. However, within days it caved in...

Keelty fails to respond to water take

THE Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is shocked and alarmed that Mick Keelty, interim inspector- general of the Murray-Darling Basin, has failed to react to the recent decisions of the Queensland and New South Wales governments to allow recent...

Train line an example of neglect

THE latest train accident needs answers to the questions that have been asked for many years and not answered or cared about by politicians. The Sydney-Melbourne rail link should be of a high standard and high speed. If it was, it would be used and...

Boozy party was insensitive

TO me, the boozy behaviour of Victorian Labor Government pollies in Bali, while this state was on fire, amounts to dancing on the graves of those who lost their lives in the inferno and those who were left with charred properties and potentially...

Time to deliver on health care promises

I RESPOND to the article headlined ‘Health care a test for all, says Webster’ (Sunraysia Daily, February 19): Instead of platitudes such as “it is greatly concerning to me” and “I am very passionate about this area” (we’ve heard it all...

Oregon not a reliable source on climate

Quoting the Oregon Petition as a source of informed opinion about climate change is ridiculous. The Oregon Petition was promoted by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, a quite small independent research group, in 1998 and is quoted by...

Bogus signatories undermine argument

i WRITE in response to Neville Gardner: As for the thousands of scientists at the Oregon Petition, has he actually validated the list, as it has been criticised for its lack of verification, with pranksters successfully submitting the names of...

Caravan park plans can go further

THE redevelopment plans for the Wentworth Caravan Park are long overdue and how it has been shows a lack of tourism vision for the fine location and a growth tourism industry. Too many caravan parks have not kept pace and have 70s infrastructure...

National economy not improving

A NEW report from Deloitte Access Economics predicts Australia’s already-struggling economy won’t improve through the Liberals and Nationals’ seventh year in office. The economy was already floundering under Scott Morrison and Josh...

Holden must answer to customers

REGARDING your article about Holden’s retirement and the compensation people will rightly deserve and the potential for huge markdowns on stocked vehicles to offload stock. What about loyal customers and their compensation? I purchased a Holden...

Fires still a threat in February, March heat

While conditions have recently eased in some parts of the state, parts of Victoria are still very dry and above-average temperatures are expected for Victoria throughout February and into March. Now is a good time to revisit bushfire safety plans...

Number in dispute among scientists

In response Paul O’Neill (LTE, Sunraysia Daily, February 18), the 97 per cent number he quoted is a standing joke and I can link to thousands of scientists at the Oregon Petition site to support my claims. Dr Lomborg actually supports CO2...

Workers available but rates must be fair

MILDURA Council has concerns around availability of harvest labour and, longer-term, the risks to horticulture this may cause. Since January I have received around 20 phone calls a day from working holiday maker visa holders asking if I have beds...

Lomborg is no climate scientist

IN reply to Neville Gardner (Sunraysia Daily, February 14), although Dr Lomborg is a scientist, he is a political scientist, not a climate scientist. Climate scientists have a specialty – Dr Lomborg’s primary focus is social issues. Climate...

Court embodies higher values

There was a time when Margaret Court was revered and adored by the Australian public as one of the greatest female sports women in Australian history; a wonderful representative of the game of tennis and arguably the finest tennis player in...
