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.
