Australia's Prime Minister John "Most Annoying Voice in Politics" Howard leads his euphemistically named Liberal party to the polls tomorrow (and it might be tomorrow there already) trailing badly in the polls. According to Julian Glover in the Guardian this might be the world's first election decided on climate change. Taking orders from his master Captain Codpiece Mr. Howard has continually sneered at even the idea of man made climate change whilst doing absolutely nothing (like his master) to address it despite the fact that Aussies are the world's worst per capita greenhouse gas emitters. Meanwhile as miners, loggers and polluters of every size, shape and description lay waster to the continent the country in deep in the grips of its worst recorded drought. Should Mr. Howard and the Liberals lose as expected to Kevin Rudd and his Labour Party it is save to assume that his neglect of this issue will be largely to blame.
