1. How hard could it be? Put these words into sentence form: die, bears, tragedy, 100m, America, ice, change, carbon offset.

1. “It’s this kind of journalism that last night won the reporter, Liz Minchin, the United Nations Association of Australia’s prize for best reporting on global warming.”

1. Worth bearing in mind that the UN Association of Australia is basically just a self-appointed local mouseketeer fan club.  As if the real UN isn’t bad enough, this is just a mob of Volvo-driving wannabes, who in no way represent the UN.

1. Oh I dunno, cuckoo, they seem to do a right good job as a representational entity.
