In which the pond trips around a Dame Slap shoot-out to roam down Dame Slap memory lane ...


Dear sweet long absent lord, another epic fail by the reptiles ... yet it's not as if Dame Slap didn't set it up for them to do a decent clickbait splash, with popular bonus meme ...

Turn to the google splash, and the subject matter pops up like Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach ...


There's your hook, reptiles, spaghetti westerns, the emitting Turnbull's emissions, and climate science ... put them in a landscape, and what do you get?




Now it's on to the shoot-out and hopefully a healthy burst of patented Dame Slap climate science denialism ...


Oh dear. Notwithstanding righteous denunciations of activist bureaucrats - damn you Canberra cardigan wearers, damn you all to hell, or at least to roast in the Sydney heat which is remarkable for December, but sssh, no talk of global warming please - can the pond deplore this bit of tame Dame Slap navel gazing and fluff gathering, which is far removed from the grand old days of talk of international conspiracies and world government ...

Please allow the pond to fondly recall those wonderful moments, so that we might have "The ugly ... this week's reminder of Dame Slap's lack of authenticity, now firmly wedded to discussing a science she doesn't believe in, in the context of Liberal party policies designed not to contribute to sorting the issue, but to placating its mad right wing, ranging from Cory to Dame Slap ..."

There's the real ugly, right there, but it seems it's left to the pond to revisit Dame Slap's glory days, when she was an internationally respected climate science expert, and jogged along cheek by jowl with Screaming Lord Monckton ...

Let's see how we got from there to here, thanks to Dame Slap and her kin. First there's the international report for the WSJ...


What a fruity rich stew of paranoia and hero worship.

And then there was the domestic version ...


Now it's a tragedy that international readers were spared the mention of Dame Slap's daughters, but perhaps at this point, as the talk by the weather people is of yet more heat records, the pond should pause for a Wilcox cartoon, with more Wilcoxian moments here ...


And so back to Dame Slap in the present ... and yes, it's a backdown, with not a whit, a jot or a sundry mention of international conspiracies and world government ...


And there it pops out, the old saw, the revealing denialist moment, the talk of barely 1.3 per cent of global emissions, and not making one iota of difference to global levels and nothing to do with us ...

The love of brown coal is moving and consoling - after all there's nothing like energy inefficiency and massive stupidity to warm the pond's heart.

But where's all the brave scribbling about international conspiracies that we saw in the old days...

What's all this talk of consensus seeking, as if there's some sort of credible issue that must be tackled, when we all know the only way forward is dinkum brown coal for Australia, and the good black stuff for the world ...

What happened to the real Dame Slap, the denialist that stood tall and proud alongside Screaming Lord Monckton, denouncing the pack of lies ...

How did she end up much further down the chart?


Won't make an iota of difference?

Alarmingly, that puts her at point 4.

Oh for the good old days when she was firmly stuck in 3b:

It's only an excuse for the UN to introduce world government ...

Please, permit the pond to finish off those halcyon memories of those halcyon days ...

First the rest of the WSJ piece ...


And now for the rest of that piece for domestic consumption in the lizard Oz ...


Come on Dame Slap, where's the inner brave denialist  from your golden days when you spread the paranoid word to the world?

Forget easy talk of Malware and prophecies of doom for Zinger Bill.

Explain once again how 2017 is going to be great for the planet ... with a climate denialist in the White House, and the head of a company that for years actively thwarted climate science as Secretary of State ... did we mention Rockefeller Family Fund Takes on ExxonMobil?

Time for a little more climate denialist spine, lest you end up looking like the other spineless ones shuffling around ... (and more Moir here) ...

  1. Pity Dame Slap doesn't apply her logic to her own writings - "I'm less than 1% of denialist commentary, I might as well not bother."

  2. "Keating forged his reputation..."

    Well, whaddaya know, an apt word choice there by Slap. Yes, Keating's "forged", as in fraudulent, reputation.

    As in the circle jerk trickle down bullshit spun by Keating, Howard, Gillard, Ruddd, Costello, Swan, Hockey, Bowen, Cormann, Chalmers, Abbott, and any number of other tories along with their fellow crony neoliberals that form the Alternative Lieberal Party apparatchick majority of frauds now for some 33 or so years.

    Continuing in that active voice of Slap's that Keating et al repeatedly spew "...through a steely determination to drag old Labor into new economic realities."

    Whither neoliberal Labor now?

    Oh sure, Shorten, Palashay, the whole damned cabal are out walking both sides of inequality street now. Walking both sides, saying one thing here the diametrically opposite there, as if the punters can't see them do it. They desperately want Adani to commence a three degrees celsius planetary busting super coal mine in central Queensland... Tony Burke just on the RN Books and Arts program this morning taking the opportunity to spruik big immigration for labor's, Keating's, the one per center's, ponzi, fraudulent, GDP boosting BIG AUSTRALIA. Fraudulent fucken liblab bullshitters.
