Thread: July 1st The Countdown

20 days to go and haven't heard a skerick about the impending event from the opposition. Abbott has finally turned his attention to other matters. We'll see what day 19 brings.

The opposition has told the Australian public that the carbon tax will not stop global warming, and every scientist will admit that reducing carbon emissions by 0.0004% over 18 years will effectively “do nothing”.

What do you want Abbott to do - he has finally realised that some Aussies are idiots, but the intelligent ones need no more convincing.

The global warming prophets and propagandists, who enjoy living in style on other people’s money, gathered last month in the plush resort of Cancun, Mexico, where January temperatures usually hover around 80 degrees. God must have a sense of humor because Cancun was hit by its coldest temperature in a hundred years.

The first day of the conference featured an address from Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon, who spoke with much concern about global warming and the damage humans are perpetrating on the planet. He cited the deaths of 60 people in Mexico because of weather extremes, but didn’t mention Mexico’s 22,000 deaths caused by the illegal drug trade.

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced that “we need to fundamentally transform the global economy, based on low-carbon, clean-energy resources.” Barack Obama’s announced goal of fundamentally transforming the United States has morphed into transforming the world.

This 16th annual conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), called COP 16 (Conference of the Parties 16), attracted some 20,000 delegates from 194 countries. It had little to do with any science about climate change and everything to do with trying to get the United States and other industrialized nations to redistribute their wealth to the poorer nations under the supervision of eager United Nations bureaucrats.

Like previous climate-change conferences, COP 16 deliberately pitted the poor countries against the rich countries, encouraging the poor countries to demand what the rich countries have without earning or paying for it. This is the internationalist version of the basic Marxist tactic called the class war.

COP 16 propagandists blame every human tragedy on the high standard of living enjoyed (and earned) by the rich countries. Our over-consumption is alleged to cause global warming. We are guilty because we are prosperous, so we supposedly owe reparations to the poor nations.

At COP 15 in Copenhagen a year ago, the poor countries ganged up on us and agreed that the United States should create a $30 billion “Fast Start” global climate fund by 2012 and reduce U.S. greenhouse gases by 17 percent below the 2005 levels. This Fast Start climate fund would be committed to grow to $100 billion by 2020.

Fortunately, the Copenhagen proposals were never formally adopted. President Obama came and left empty-handed, Communist China refused to limit its emissions, and the Third World dictators didn’t get the $100 billion handouts they expected.

The poor countries now say they want cash handouts, not loans, because they don’t want to take on any debt. They also floated a scheme to force 37 industrialized nations to transfer their technologies along with huge financial bonuses to the poorer 155 nations.

It's not supposed to "stop global warming", it's supposed to lower Australia's net ghg emissions. Which incidentally, though often apparently ignored, is what Tony Abbott has promised to do as well, with tax payers money. I'm sure Abbott has realised "that some Aussies are idiots", it's pretty obvious who his slogans and sensationalist rantings are directed towards.

Sorry zig

All its designed to do is add to the current Emissions Trading Scheme Market valued at $ 136 billion dollars per annum.

And heaven forbid zig there actually worried if the price falls.

They want the annual cost to keep on growing.

I think these guys running it have forgotten what its all about now, they have a new profitable market.

Quick zig get in there and make a quick buck because that's all the carbon tax ETS is designed to do.

Reducing CO2 emissions eeerrrrr thats for the fairies dude.

I think he realises he stuck his neck out too far on this one. He was and is still hoping for something to fast track him into government to save his bacon, such as: Craig Thompson and Peter Slipper.

Nah, I'm not discussing the ETS again with you dumber. Especially not when you still haven't read the legislation, or the reports, or even the Oppositions policy.

Buying & selling pollution is suppose to reduce carbon emissions - LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Next you dick heads will be telling me there are fairies at the bottom of the garden. LOL LOL LOL LOL

No wonder every week there is a TV show highlighting how DUMB Aussies are in being coned by scam artists. LOL LOL LOL LOL
