The big picture missing from The Australian

Doesn't the Australian today have yet another article promoting the Jennifer Marohasy screams of "Fraud!" against the entire Bureau of Meteorology?  Oh yes, it does, again smearing the Bureau on the basis of the claims of a biologist funded by a climate change denying fund.

I'm a little puzzled why the BOM doesn't come out and simply put these graphs more prominently on its website:


Here's the Bureau's explanation of the above graph:
Both adjusted and unadjusted temperatures show that Australia's climate has warmed. Since 1955 adjusted and unadjusted data are virtually identical. It is during this time that most of the warming has occurred in Australia.
The graph below shows temperature trends since 1910 from the unadjusted temperatures (AWAP), together with those that have been carefully curated, quality controlled and corrected for artificially induced biases (ACORN-SAT). Carefully curating and correcting records is global best practice for analysing temperature data.
 And the ocean temperature record around Australia follows a similar pattern:


 Again, why has the Right become so insistently dumb and gullible on matters of science?

    That's easy:

    "We have to wonder why the kings and nobles failed to recognize and solve these seemingly obvious problems undermining their society. Their attention was evidently focused on their short-term concerns of enriching themselves."

    Even Davidson admits to AGW.

    Another problem is highlighted by a recent article in the SMH where Darville was quoted as saying people are better off left alone. Incredibly ironic given she is a lawyer. What!? Some "spontaneous order" will arise to address the problem. Spontaneous order is animism without the metaphysics and just as stupid.

    Is Marohasy a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic like Katesy or simply goebellsising like Davidson?
