ClimateGate latest... and a viral pop song!

The British media - with one or two exceptions - is still being embarrassingly quiet on ClimateGate.

ClimateGate Deniers, anyone? Well, why shouldn't the label be two-way traffic..?

Bizarrely, The Times is instead serving up more apocalypse. Seems to have backfired when you read the comments of their own readers. Ooops! Wonder if they got a slap on the hands for the story in their sister publication, The Sunday Times?

Anyway, not so silent on international shores.

The Wall Street Journal invites us to follow the money swooshing around the climate alarmists and their cause in not just one but two separate articles on the topic.

The Australian press is obviously reporting on the huge repercussions in Australian politics over a proposed emissions trading scheme bill which has led to the Australian opposition Liberal Party voting in a new leader - Tony Abbott - following mass resignations over the legislation.

Abbott seems to tap in to the growing opinions of people worldwide who have read about ClimateGate when, although he is solely talking specifically of Australian ETS proposals, he says: "As far as many many millions of Australians are concerned what the Rudd Government ETS looks like is a great big tax to create a great big slush fund to provide politicised handouts run by a giant bureaucracy".

Don't forget the bit about global government, Mr. Abbott. You defend Australia's sovereignty, before they nick it off you too.

There's a great quote on Peter Roff's blog on U.S. News: "It is starting to look like President Barack Obama, aided and abetted by former Vice President Al Gore, Sens. Barbara Boxer, and John F. Kerry and others, may have lied this nation into a war against man-made global warming."

Here in Britain, one or two lone brave voices are continuing to examine the aftermath of ClimateGate. Melanie Phillips in The Spectator blogs is one such hardy soul and, in her latest post, she links to a fascinating read from J.R. Dunn on American Thinker.

Meanwhile, ClimateGate (Hide The Decline) is becoming an internet hit 'choon'...
