Australia's Most Useless Degree

University of the Sunshine Coast has the first four graduates from the world's first Master's degree: Master of Climate Change Adaptation.

While this may sound really great to the true believers the 12-18 months of study required to get one of these is a lot of work for what is essentially a pseudo-religious con. So when the alarmism has run its course, and the science is allowed to emerge, the graduates will be left with a useless piece of paper.

On the plus side they can apply for a government climate change position then move sideways later.

What I am really interested in is the course material for the degree. As someone who went out and read a large number of books, journal articles, economic texts, blog entries there is nothing substantial from the other perspective.

You could of course limit the discussion to say the 1990's and ignore anything discovered this millennium. You could also limit it to just IPCC summary stuff and materials from GISS, Hadley and the Climate Institute. The problem is that all of the actual evidence, i.e. what has been observed, contradicts all of their stuff since it is almost all computer models generated by people in armchairs.
