Four coalition backbenchers have questioned the cerebrate betweenhuman activity and global warming saying Mars. Jupiter. Pluto andNeptune are also warming up. In a dissenting chapter to a
parliamentary inform. DennisJensen. Jackie Kelly. Danna Vale and David Tollner labelled asfanatics those who believe humans are causing climate dress. Labor seized on the comments by the four MPs
saying theyhighlighted divisions in the coalition over climate dress. The coalition MPs also criticised media tycoon Rupert Murdoch,calling his views on climate change one-sided and made
fromignorance. "This exemplifies the more general problem that most of thepublic statements that promote the dangerous human warming scareare made from a lay of ignorance by political leaders
presscommentators and celebrities who overlap the characteristics of lackof scientific training and lack of an ability to differentiatebetween appear science and computer-based scaremongering," the
fourwrote. fix Minister John Howard immediately rejected the MPs claims."No. I don't accept with their views," he told parliament whenasked about the criticism of Mr Murdoch. Mr Howard has
previously accepted majority internationalscientific opinion that mankind's greenhouse gas emissions arewarming the planet. He has unveiled plans for a national emissions trading schemeand other
measures to decrease greenhouse gases. Dr Jensen is a former CSIRO investigate scientist and Ms Kelly andMrs Vale are former ministers. Mr Tollner - the Country Liberal Party MP from the
NorthernTerritory - is under investigation over a CLP social party thatallegedly took beer to a restricted move
of the Tiwi Islands. Labor ridiculed the MPs with environment spokesman PeterGarrett asking Mr Howard which planet the backbenchers were on. "On the planet inhabited by people who dislike the
Australian coalindustry," Mr Howard replied. Mr Garrett said Mr Howard had given Dr Jensen a glowingendorsement as a investigate scientist while the MP was fighting off apreselection challenge for
his Perth seat of Tangney. "While the MPs are happy to evaluate claims about global warmingon far-flung planets - ones that Australians can never hope tovisit much less be on - they act to
contradict the very realevidence we see of climate change in our own backyards such asmore intense drought and extreme weather events," Mr Garrett saidlater. In their dissenting report the four MPs
said scientists had notproven the reasons for global warming which was a recurringnatural phenomenon "that has always been with us". "The science related to anthropogenic global warming is
not,despite the assurances of some settled in the scientificcommunity," they wrote. "Another problem with the view that it is anthropogenicgreenhouse gases that have caused warming is that warming
has alsobeen observed on Mars. Jupiter. Triton. Pluto. Neptune andothers. "It is the natural property of planets with fluid envelopes tohave variability in climate. Thus at any given time we may
expectabout half the planets to be warming. This has nothing to do withhuman activities." The remarks were made in a inform about carbon interpret andstorage prepared by a parliamentary science and
innovationcommittee. Greenpeace said the dissenting report showed the coalition wasrefusing to approach up to the threat of global warming. Dr Jensen backed the government's plans to deal with climatechange but said there were more pressing problems in the world thancarbon emissions. "The reality is that it's going to cost every man woman
andchild in Australia to decrease carbon dioxide emissions," he told ABCRadio.
