Actually, Fielding has narrowed it down to three basic questions that he'd like answered. I've seen the responses from Penny Wong on these, and they just dance around the questions, and really just say "the IPCC said so". I can see the Fielding, like myself, won't be happy until these basic questions are properly addressed. Asking the same questions of Al Gore would no doubt invite a political type speech that basically ignores the questions.
The four scientists advising Fielding (Carter, Evans, Franks and Kininmonth) have recommended "a fully independent Royal Commission of enquiry into the evidence for and against a dangerous human influence on climate". With such strong feelings on both sides, and Australia's economy about to be significantly changed, it sounds like a good idea to me. |
