Mark commented on David's question: “You do forget that you get them before 55 if you have done 20 years. The civilians have to wait unitl 55 or older. Can we afford this expecially when it starts before the 55 or older mark?”
Mark commented on David Nicholls's question: “When you are against the Bolt and Alan Jones cheer squad with their shock jock connections and Tea Party Hit Squad nobody would ever get any questions other than their right wing agenda. Bolt financed by Gina and Alan Jones running anti carbon tax rallies you know they are never going to be fair in commentary.”
Mark commented on David Nicholls's question: “Militant Atheists? Strong debate not blowing up abortion clinics and suicide bombings. The gospel of Athiests? Atheist do not believe in gods or supernatural fairy stories. This country was not founded on Christian value, if it were we would be committing genocide, rape, slavery, murder and human sacrifice according to the bible. I don't see the law that a woman has to marry her rapist in our laws or she is stoned if she is not a virgin on her wedding night as in the bible. Christian values have a lot to answer for.”
Mark commented on stuart's question: “"LNP delegates at the party's state conference passed a motion yesterday calling on Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek to stop the teaching of ''environmental propaganda material, in particular post-normal science about climate change''. "The mover of the motion, Noosa LNP member Richard Pearson, attacked ''false prophets who would poison the minds of our children in our schools''. This was from of these leading LNP members". Religious right in government there. False Prophets now, I wonder where he got is science information from?, the...”

Mark commented on Mark's question: “What a wasted question, I can anticipate the response already. That cannot be determined. It is the typical Queensland question. The LNP state, going backwards very quickly in education and common sense.”
Mark commented on stuart's question: “So we get a vote on the Direct Action Plan TAX then with the same targets? I assume Bolt is ok with this? He tends to agree with one party all the time.”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “This is the same rubbish posed in the q and a after the global warming swindle film. The film that cherry picked graphs and the date "now" was 20 years before. It was one reading in atmosphere and was not on the correct equipment. Go look up the q and a on youtube, it was debunked but people keep bringing it up. To hard to explain in texting.”
Mark commented on David Nicholls's question: “It is not them that openly do this but they associate with a church and then use peer pressure with the other students to push the one not going to religious instruction to go. They push that person outside the class. There are dozens of reports of older students picking on non religious students for not believing in their god. Religion divides people by their parents religion. Just look at Northern Ireland to know what it can do. In public schools it should not be there, what then are churches for? They have students telling other students...”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “Vested interests in their wealth to ignore the science, you do know the difference? So you run away shouting that it is against all wealthy people. Now that is the problem with the deniars. Inflate the comments.”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “Well when people attack science for political advantage or religious advantage I defend. It is easy to throw doubt and harder to defend when the science is complicated.”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “What do you think Peer reveiwed science does? It has checks and balances to do this. It is not a scientist in a shed with a thermometer checking the air temperature and running to a shock jock to declare the hundreds of scientists are wrong. It stops fraud, that is why they have this in science. Where are the peer reviewed science against the climate change? Can you find any? If you say it is a conspiracy then you had better accuse every country and every science institute and politicians of all persuasions about this. You however choose...”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “Any reduction is a win, if this lets us get ahead of other countries with new industries the better. Some backward thinking people here. Destroy this tax and we gain nothing, China is the biggest manufacturer of solar panels using Australian scientists who have had to go overseas. We use the money to make cleaner industries cheaper. Remember Tony(Mr NO) has the same targets as the Labor Party. Is he telling a lie?”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “You mean Abbott and his workchoices promises and his agreement to an ETS until he gained the leadership. Do you really believe he will bring in the Direct Action Plan TAX? You forget their was a hung parliament for 2 weeks. Tony bribed a Tasmanian politician during this time. All bets were off to form government, Tony will not let us know which policies he ditched during this negotiation. So stop the BS.”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “I'll answer this. .01 percent. Now what? Has it achieved anything? It is a silly question as it is mean't to be mischievous. I have heard it before from Senator Barnaby Joyce the anti climate change nut case. Is anybody going to check the answer?”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “The oceans obsorb some of the heat, science change is complicated so letting the backyard boys just argue one part of it is deceit. They need to take in to account all the variables. Air temperature is just one aspect.”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “Get in an office room start smoking, reduce down the outlet fan and increase the smoking and see what happens. It is not rocket science. ”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “These questions have got to be coming out of Queensland, the bible belt area, the new Texas. The climate and evolution deniars. They believe the world is 6000 years old and rail against science. What next stem cell research and intelligent design in schools?”
Mark commented on Mark's question: “Typical responses from the deniars. Any reduction will be good because of the increasing temperatures. There is not a globe over australia, we share the same atmosphere. Pointing to pseudo science nut cases does not win the argument. Peer reveiwed science is when an independent scientist checks the results of an observation. The Bolt argument checks the science from his shed at the back of a house. ”
