Follow ups on Terror Police Raids - Obama Still Uncertain-Keep Calm & Nothing Else?
“...a tendency to play down the subject ... and to pursue it most aggressively as a story about political divisiveness rather than one about national security mistakes and the lack of government transparency.”Coalition’s workplace policy reflects a sensible line Letter by Des Moore published in The Australian 11-12 May 2013 Interpreting the Islamic Bombings Commentary by Des Moore, an interview with Dr Mark Durie on Christian Worldview Radio, an article on the Benghazi congressional committee inquiry, and an interview of Des Moore by Michael McLaren from 2GB. Industrial Relations - Unions in Control Commentary by Des Moore and letter published in The Australian along with article by James Massola and Mark Skulley published in The Australian Financial Review 6 May 2013 Boston Bombings - More Concerns on Policy Reaction Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 4 May 2013 The most important development (or, rather, lack thereof) since the bombings in Bostons is the paucity of coverage in Australian media of policy implications and mention of Muslim extremists. Material has been published here on the course of investigations by the FBI, now indicating that the younger bomber had “friends”. Jihad! What jihad? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 1 May 2013 In a recent Quadrant Online article, I suggested the “initial reactions of government leaders and most media commentators to the Boston bombings had been to ignore or brush aside the wider policy implications for the West”. I concluded, however, that a variety of policy actions could and should be taken without delay and “the first of those must be to acknowledge that a problem exists.” Terrorism after the Bombings – Where to Now?

Ask a paleontologist Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 10 April 2013 The attempt to portray a picture of ever-rising temperatures continues despite the absence of supporting evidence. It is typified by frequent references to purported and much-repeated "records”, such as “the hottest start to April for eight years” and the supportive claims of “experts” with Nobel Laureate awards in a science, but not necessarily ones awarded for achievements in climate science. Anger at Pay Push Letter by Des Moore published in the Herald Sun 4 April 2013 Time to review policies Letter by Des Moore published in The Australian Financial Review 26 March 2013 Last week’s fiasco was triggered by Labor’s media bills Letter by Des Moore published in The Australian 26 March 2013 Was Our Summer Really Angry? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 12 March 2013 It is hardly surprising that the hot summer experienced in many parts of Australia has led our very own warmists to claim it confirmed the dangerous global warming threat of rising temperatures. While this claim has been widely reported in the media, including the ABC and The New York Times, as if it is factually correct, in reality the warmists have a problem.

This is not to suggest that our American alliance is in any danger or that, if we faced a direct military threat, the next President of whatever political complexion would not do his utmost to provide military support.

Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 24 October 2012 The surprise improvement of two percentage points in Labor’s polling on a two-party preferred basis in the latest Nielsen poll, and the large improvement for Julia Gillard in the preferred prime minister stakes, has led some commentators to suggest the carbon tax is no longer a major political issue. Given that the imposition of the tax has been Tony Abbott’s principal attack dog, he is now, it is suggested, on the back foot.

Equally important, how do we assess the response of Western governments to the protests and subsequent developments?

The 18 slides and accompanying text used by climate change adviser Professor Will Steffen, which have been examined in the attachments by four independent scientists and me, are rife with errors or misinterpretations of data and a failure to identify important areas where major scientific uncertainties exist. Yet Steffen’s presentation on the state of global warming science on Nov 10 has been used by Ministers (including the Prime Minister) to justify the claim that they have a policy based on “the science” but which, in reality, has little or no substantive scientific basis. by Des Moore - 29 April 2011 Climate of discontent Prime Minister Julia Gillard now faces a raging controversy over her decision of 24 February to impose a tax on carbon (or more accurately on carbon dioxide emissions) for three to five years from July 2012. by Des Moore - Quadrant Online, 18 April 2011 Carbon: marching in unison makes the most sense Letter published in The Australian, 18 April 2011 Possible carbon exemptions Letter published in The Australian Financial Review, 13 April 2011 Carbon Tax - Gillard’s Major Error Comments on the Gillard Carbon Tax.

With the help of graphs (also attached) composed by Tom Quirk and (earlier) by Bill Kininmonth, the document updates the arguments and data that reject the dangerous warming thesis.

Transcript of the presentation to a branch of the University of the Third Age on “The Threat from Islamic Extremism – Can Governments Handle It?” It suggests that the world has moved into a new environment in which sections of Islam are seeking to overthrow western dominance by means that should produce a response at both international and domestic levels that extends to cultural as well as military levels. But in regard to homegrown terrorist threats, the presentation questions the adequacy of the response so far by the US, UK and Australian governments. Proposals are advanced for improving the responses.

Article by Tom Quirk published in Quadrant Online, 5 October 2009 Global Warming and Uncertainty – What is the appropriate response? In this presentation Des Moore argues, based on a national interest test, that the uncertainties about mainstream climate science and the extent of dissent are so large that they rule out any application of the so-called precautionary principle. He also argues that even if it were accepted that temperatures will increase over time, the large uncertainties about the timing and extent of the alleged mitigating action said to be needed suggests that no case exists for governments to start a comprehensive program now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Some say we live in “interesting times”: my feeling is they are fearful rather than interesting because of the danger that major governments could act on another scare started by some scientists who have persuaded ministers on both sides of politics that their doom-laden analysis is correct. I say “another” because a long record already exists of scientists starting false scares and persuading politicians to intervene. But more of that record shortly...

This address examined various arguments and claims made in support of the thesis that increasing human activity is the principal cause of increased global temperatures and that urgent government action needs to be taken to reduce (in particular) CO2 emissions. It concluded that the case has not been made and that many scientists now reject the thesis or do not accept it as providing a basis for such action. It notes that the essence of the thesis - that the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere lead inevitably to damaging increases in temperatures - is contrary to analysis showing that warming effects from increasing concentrations diminish progressively and are now very small. This analysis is generally accepted by scientists and also in the reports of the Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change.
