The Bali climate conference has inevitably put Indonesia under the media spotlight. The conference itself is not the only story deemed to be newsworthy:
Indonesian scientists say many of Indonesia's islands may be swallowed up by the sea if world leaders fail to find a way to halt rising sea levels.
Doomsayers take this dire warning by Indonesian scientists a step further and predict that by 2035, the Indonesian capital's airport will be flooded by sea water and rendered useless. (That might put an end to Indonesia as a climate conference venue).

The following story made the ITN News in the UK and ABC News online in Australia (Thanks Luke):
Because of illegal logging, the climate conference host, Indonesia, is losing an area of forest the size of a soccer field every 10 seconds. Most threatened are the peatlands of Kalimantan and the orangutans which call them home.
This is what they're making way for - palm oil plantations. Chasing a boom in demand for biofuels and along the way, killing up to 50 orangutans a week.
The unintended consequences of CO2 hysteria.

la la lah lah lah - not listening now. You got it wrong.
Thats right, Luke, all you need to do is pretend the truth is not there, and it will go away. Works for Al Gore, works for the IPCC.

60 years and not the slightest evidence of sea level rise in Sydney. Thats nada, nothing, ini tipota, mo2 yeh5, or the big zippo, Luke. No wonder they felt the urge to check out Tuvalu and Kiribati (too far away to check what they are up to and a local population that will believe anything).
So how, exactly, DID Church and his mates explain that one, Luke? Well, er er ah, they didn't did they. What they did do was weave in numerous references to the long duration of the Sydney and Fremantle tide data (to suck every last drop of credibility out of them) but then bury it under a large, fetid load of "reconstruction" that showed a trend that he plucked out of his backside.
No wonder you're grumpy, the "Dark Side" caught out again.
Nope no arguing the point - readers can judge for themselves - it's pretty self-evident that you're a rank fuckwit with a pea sized brain. Your whingey whiney drivelly little explanation is simply hand waving nonsense. New Years resolution is no more helping you out. You either get it once or you don't so you can expect far less assistance with your education in the future. What's the difference between Grott and a computer - you only have to punch the data into a computer once.
Is that all you can come up with, Boy Blunder? Not a word of substance. But thanks for the link to Church, I knew this stuff was covered in slime but didn't have the evidence.
Sixty years of exagerated temperature increase and old "pinch gut" didn't record a scrap of increased sea level.
"rises (natural amplitude) substantially higher than the long term trend", I love it. Any more Church and Hunter baaarf, Flukey old boy?
Nope - you got it TOTALLY wrong - stop obfuscating.
