Global Warming Melts Liberals

Warning, warning!! - there's a Liberal iceberg breaking out near you. Following the marathon  meetings earlier this week to try and shove the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme down some very reluctant dinosaur throats, the climate change party skeptics have melted down into open revolt. Tony Abbott et al have resigned their posts in the front bench and senate, leaving Malcolm's Ice Sheet cracking open.
A pity after all those negotiations with Ian McFarlane and Penny Wong.
Is it the taxation aspect that the pollies don't like or is it the climate change theory thats causing the meltdown. Whatever happens to the Liberals, they are handing Labour an election win on a plate (so long as it happens before the next big thing!). (update: except for the incompetence of Labour!)
By the way, my patio is covered in mud from a small flood engendered by the short, sharp, shower that dumped 36mm of rain on my place within 30 mins this afternoon. A veritable flood of mud and leaves came rushing under the fence from next door, overloading the drains and spreading into the house. Great excitment and some work for the family in mopping and cleaning up. Climate change or just weather - your choice!
