The latest piece by the Greens that Cyclone Yasi is caused by climate change, on the back of the Greens blaming the floods on coal mining, is incredulous as much as it is contemptible. 
 
Deputy Leader Christine Milne said that cyclone Yasi was a “tragedy of climate change” and another reason we needed a carbon tax.
 
I hate to suggest a web address but a good summary of cyclones in Queensland is http://www.windworker.com.au/qldcyclones.htm.
 
Maybe the Greens can now tell us what caused each one of these events back to the early 1800’s as they are obviously self endowed with the omnipotent capacity to do so.
 
In the mean time I wish with everyone in the southern part of our State the best of luck, prayers and whatever it takes to cope in the North with the coming hours to protect life. I wish everyone the strength to carry on through the days getting the basics back together and then the months repairing.

Yes, let's hope that everyone gets through the cyclone season with minimal damage to property and no further loss of life.

I once tried to email Christine Milne (Greens Senator) about one of her party's policies. Not only did I get no answer, but when I looked at her blog, she only seemed interested in her flower gardens, home vegetable patch, works of art (seaside sculptures), and some photographs of scenery.

I would normally expect something a bit more momentous than this from a Senator elected to represent the people, not to mention someone who is the Deputy Leader of a political party.

Surely Christine Milne should know that the climate changes every day of the week, and sometimes from minute to minute. Otherwise we could be stuck every year with 365 days straight of cyclones and flooding, with both her flower beds and vegetable patch coming to a sticky end.
