Goldman Strikes Again: Did A Probe Into “Global Warming” Fraud Cost A Prime Minister’s Job<\/a><\/h3>\n

When Tony Abbott became Australia’s prime minister in September 2013, the chain of events that would prematurely end his tenure may already have been in motion: just a few months later China would order its out of control shadow banking system to put on hold its debt issuance machinery, which as we reported a year ago, ground to a\u00a0complete stop around November 2014\u00a0<\/a>(which also was the explanation for the dramatic slowdown in the US economy over the winter as the collapse in China’s Total Social Financing growth sent a deflationary ripple effect around the globe), which – as we warned at the time – would have dire consequences on all of China’s “feeder” economies, namely Brazil and Australia.<\/p>\n

But while we have been tracking the implosion of Brazil’s economy\u00a0since December<\/a>, long before the rest of the world noticed the calamitous collapse of what was once Latin America’s most vibrant economy, it was a very recent event in Australia – not the country’s\u00a0parallel economic slowdown also due to China’s hard landing<\/a>: that was painfully clear long in advance – that took many by surprise. Namely, the resignation of Tony Abbott almost exactly two years after becoming Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

And while it is easy to blame his admission of failure on external factors, namely the Chinese slowdown, a very surprising finding has emerged over the past few days, one which reveals Abbott’s “ouster” in a totally different light.<\/p>\n

According to Freedom of Information documents obtained by Australia’s ABC, now-former prime minister Tony Abbott’s own department discussed\u00a0setting up an investigation into the Bureau of Meteorology amid media claims it was exaggerating estimates of global warming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it appears that the prime minister himself had dared to question to prevailing status quo on “global warming.”<\/p>\n

ABC reports\u00a0<\/a>that in August and September 2014,\u00a0The Australian newspaper published reports questioning the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BoM) methodology for analyzing temperatures, reporting claims BoM was “wilfully ignoring evidence that contradicts its own propaganda.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
