The Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus)
The Common Wombat is a large (about the size of a pig) herbivorous burrowing marsupial with a wide habitat and endemic in the Mitta Valley. They are more closely related to the Koala than any other animal. Wombats live in underground burrows, often creating an extensive labyrinth of tunnels. The home range varies from 5-23 ha and during summer the Common Wombat is mainly nocturnal. In winter they can be seen grazing during the day.Breeding may occur at any time during the year and usually only one young is born.The Common Wombat lives at least 5 years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity.

Anthropogenic Cause for Global Warming
There is little doubt that our Planet is experiencing a cycle of warming but the contention that warming is solely due to the actions and lifestyle of the inhabitants will turn out to be the hoax of the century. These hoaxes have been perpetrated by vested interests before, remember Y2K and the global freezing claims of the 1960's and 1970's? Our Planet has always been in a climate cycle of varying duration and certainly well before humans existed. Whilst there is a strong argument to live in an environmentally-friendly society and minimise energy consumption, this is a feel-good response that will not reverse climate cycles.
Think of this the next time you read a scare story on Global warming ....
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary"
H.L. Menchen

The Real Deniers
William Happer is hardly a climate change "denier." A physics professor at Princeton, he is a former director of energy research for the U. S. Department of Energy, where he supervised work on climate change between 1990 and 1993. He is also one of the world's leading experts on "the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases," and on carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect...... Prof. Happer added that while CO2 concentrations have risen steadily for more than 100 years, warming began before that -- 200 years ago -- and even during the time when temperatures and carbon concentrations have risen together, the link has hardly been consistent. For instance, while CO2 was rising rapidly from 1950 to 1970, temperatures were going through an especially cold period...... Any warming in recent decades, then, "seems to be due mostly to natural causes, not to increasing levels of carbon dioxide." Why then do organizations such as the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continue to put faith in climate supercomputer models that show disastrous warming in the coming century?...." The real deniers , Lorne Gunter, National Post "......Because, as Prof. Happer explained, the IPCC believes in what is called a "positive feedback loop." In short, water vapour and clouds account for about 98% of the greenhouse effect versus less than 2% for CO2. The IPCC believes, though, that a doubling of CO2, while not significant on its own, will trigger a huge increase in the greenhouse impact of water vapour. But so far, in the real world, "the feedback is close to zero and may even be negative." Prof. Happer testified.....two weeks ago, three of five independent scientists asked by Japan's Society of Energy and Resources to assess the current state of climate science concluded that global warming, to the extent it is still occurring, is a natural phenomenon, not manmade. In his official contribution, Kanya Kusano, program director at the Earth Simulator at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, called the IPCC's warming theories "an unprovable hypothesis" and likened the current supercomputer models to ancient astrology. Even the Discovery Channel, never a fan of scientists who dissent from climate orthodoxy, reported last week on a University of Wisconsin study that shows global temperatures have at least flatlined during the past decade and that that trend could continue for another 30 years.
