Way to go, Jen. Now that you're recognized in the National Library, maybe Luke will accept quotes from you as being legitimate.

Woody - I'm sure we're all about Truth, Honesty and Integrity.
Congratulations Jen on arriving !
I'm sure myself, Pinxi, Motty and Rog will all cringe when we read what we said in 10 years time. I would have used the spell checker, grammar checker and less insults but funnier ones if I had know that national archival was on the cards.
In 10 years who of us will be eating humble pie (or crow) in a globally warmed or cooled world?

I echo Luke's comments. Excelent outcome - congratulations.

It will be interesting to see how everyone comes off knowing what we will in a decade or two from now.
I'd love to be wrong about AGW, but we wont be particularly worse off as a society if so and we HAD prepared. But if Jennifer, Andrew Bolt et al. are all wrong, will the sceptics recant? I fear not! They'll still be clinging to the denialist line even if the waves were lapping at their front door.

Now I do feel like lawnmower man.
How does a delighted librarian look?
I trust their servers are solar powered, bunkered in a secret location & backups are etched onto titanium plates?
Just the hanging evidence archive that we\'ll need Luke when we have eco deliverance and the comrades take over. Purrrrrrrrrr.

Good one Jennifer; Congratulations!
Julian: I reckon everyone will be having a hard look well before Luke’s ten years are up at their beach front and ridge top real estate values. The smart ones are likely to be growing their own fruit & veg somewhere else.
Meantime I’ll be listening to my expanding collection of good oz jazz in a quiet place.

Hey well done Jennifer!
Luke et al will now really have to look out for their P's and Q's!
I will limit my posts from now on to only those statements which are worthy of record!
In this company that's going to be difficult......

Jennifer,
Not sure I like this ... who will be in charge in twenty years time? Enviro-thought police perhaps. Will dissent be made a retroactive crime?
Never mind, we are right, aren't we? By 2027 the drought will have broken, and increased snow on Antarctica will have dropped the sea levels. Heard Island will have blown its top, and volcanism will, by law, be mentioned at least five times in every news bulletin and political speech. Submarine fumaroles will be identified as the cause of El Nino, and there will be street demonstrations against them.
Vikings will reappear in Greenland, cloned from mummified remains. They will convert to Islam, only to be eaten by rampaging (infidel) polar bears. Emperor penguins will invade Tasmania, and Saint Bob will retreat to a cave on Cradle mountain, with Saint Kerry as his acolyte.
Oh blimey! My great grandchildren might read this ... hello kids.

Don't worry Davey when the comrades want to lynch you next we'll remind them that you knew nothin bout no climate science, you were just suss o the politiks. Unless the attak of the giant squids gets you 1st. You'll b trialed by consensus not by blog. We'll be banishing al unecesary letrs to - more eficiency, less waste, less servr space etc.

Good one, Jen.
The delicious irony in all this is that all those who hide behind pseudonyms will receive no recognition for their perfidious efforts.
Those of us who use their own name, state our opinions with pride and dignity, and suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous blogitude for our trouble, will take our rightful place in history. History is, after all, made by real people, not cartoons or caricatures.

But what about the Simpsons?

Congratulations, Jen.
A worthy recognition

Congratulations Jen,
Seems Motty's unfettered egotism is fairly stoked by the news, personally I couldn't give a rat's a*** whether history remembers me as Lamna nasus, my real name or at all, that isn't the purpose of trying to do the correct thing..... but if Motty needs re-assurance of his immortality, all he needs to remember is that the matter that currently is 'Ian Mott' has been around since at least Big Bang and will still be around long after the rather small star around which this planet revolves, runs out of fuel......
