Sick of boring old Dick and Jane readers? Stuck for Christmas stocking-fillers? Fed up with the fascist media / Maoist teachers? Why not try some ‘political education texts for kids’. Reminiscent of those What’s Happening to Me? sex-ed books we sniggered at back in the 80s, all are cute, informative and (of course) thoroughly objective. There’s wonderful titles such as Why Mommy is a Democrat, Why War is a never a Good Idea and The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming.

Our conservative friends shouldn’t feel left out. Also available is Help Mom! There are Liberals under My Bed (a possible crossover into the horror genre Down Under). For Bolt and Blair, there’s The Sky is Not Falling: Why it’s OK to chill about Global Warming (it’s blurb claims to give “kids the scoop, not just about global warming, but the real-world consequences of the Left’s responses to it”). At least we now know what’s on the coffee table at AWH headquarters.

The children of Australia are missing out and need their own titles, like Mummy, When’s the Election? and Why Kevin says Executing People is Wrong, except in Other Countries, Unless they are Australians. Suggestions?

Continuing the great tradition of climate-change-denying premature induction, Australia’s kraziest kolumnist:

Continuing the great tradition of shivering at protests over global warming:

About 100 school students from across Sydney have gathered to protest during the APEC summit, in defiance of authorities who asked them to stay in school…

They are protesting about a range of issues, including the Iraq War and climate change…

They walked for about half-an-hour, moving down Goulburn Street before returning to Belmore Park for more speeches as rain began to fall.

Same story in Brisbane, where soggy students marched in the same cause:

Ferny Grove, Runcorn, Kedron and Cavendish Road state high schools were also represented at the rally, organised by the socialist alliance Resistance.

Weather in Brisbane?

WINTRY conditions returned to much of Queensland yesterday, with the temperature in Brisbane 7C below average.

Andrew Bolt, a hardcore climate change denier, often argues his case by highlighting alleged examples of poor climate science and biased selection of statistics.

Then he comes up with this example of the flawless logic and scientific thought that makes Bolta one of the media’s leading commentators.

The global warming activists keep running into cold weather:

A week ago it was this:

More than 1000 people braved the rain in Brisbane today to join politicians and community campaigners in the annual Walk Against Warming rally.

Today it’s more of the drizzly same:

Four people have been arrested over a climate change protest at a Gippsland power station…

They broke into the site about 5:00AM and spent five hours locked to the equipment in cold rainy conditions before being taken away by police.

Brilliant stuff. And it carries on from a whole string of protests last year that met the same soggy fate, generating terrific news coverage like this:

Thousands of people have marched through central Sydney, ignoring wet and windy weather to protest against global warming.

At some stage people must surely wake up to the fact that the climate isn’t behaving as the warmists claim.

So, let’s get this straight. It’s cold and rainy on a given day in a given place so therefore global warming is a myth. Oh, and it’s autumn — a time of year that is never cold and rainy.

Is this man for real? As Bolta himself snorted above: Brilliant stuff.

UPDATE (4/9): After suggestions by Steve D and Bruce I have labeled this post ‘premature induction’ and will continue to highlight further examples of Bolta and Timmeh Blair’s premature induction.
