The “independent” Climate Commission has released its first report. The “independent” Climate Commission was appointed by an Australian Federal Labor/Green alliance government that wants to introduce a carbon tax. So the Federal Government appointed members to the Climate Commission that would endorse the Labor/Green alliance views. And surprise, surprise, it has produced a report that [...]
Australian Green Senator Bob Brown wants you to forget what he said in 2007. He wants you to forget that he said that he wanted the coal industry shut down. He was quite happy in 2007 to have tens of thousands of jobs lost, whole towns wiped out, support industries shut down.
He said in 2007 [...]
A Deloittes report commissioned by the Australian Federal Government states that the Carbon Tax price will have to be at least $40 per tonne to encourage the building of gas-fired power plants. Of course the Federal Government Labor/Green Alliance Climate Change Minister Greg Combet is running away as fast as he can from the idea [...]
The Federal Government Labor/Green alliance would like to close down all operating coal-fired power stations in Australia. The fact that these coal-fired power stations all work perfectly well, and could continue to work decades into the future means nothing. The Gillard government is determined to destroy this infrastructure and replace it with renewables or gas-fired power stations.
Why [...]
People who believe completely in the AGW (anthropomorphic Global Warming) view of the world have been in recent time referred to as “warmists”. While the anti AGW proponents are referred to as Climate Change Skeptics, or Climate Change deniers. There is a new term for warmists, that is “Warmenist”.
A great description from Urban Dictionary:
Gullible, scientificially [...]
Professor Ross Garnaut who is an economist, not a climate scientist, says that the debate on the carbon tax is a debate between science and ignorance. If you don’t agree with the Professor, you are ignorant.
He said- ” It’s not the first time we’ve had contests between knowledge and ignorance that are of great significance [...]
Once the GST was passed by the Australian Parliament most people accepted the GST as a new tax, and a done deal. Many people may have whinged about its implementation, the dreaded BAS form, and all that is involved in the GST. Ultimately in the end, nearly everyone agrees that the Federal Government has to [...]
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced Australia will have a Carbon Tax in place from 1st July 2012. Australians will then pay more for fuel and Electricity.
All Australian businesses will pay more for their energy use. Any overseas competitor in the USA or China will not have to pay a Carbon Tax.
Even if your [...]
Yet another climate change committee
The Federal Labor/Green alliance government, not content with wasting the taxpayers money on the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, is going to waste another $5.6 million dollars on a Climate Commission headed by Tim Flannery. This Commission according to Minister Greg Combet “It will provide expert advice on climate [...]
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has dropped several schemes that are a response to Climate Change, to save money for the Queensland Flood reconstruction. Its good riddance to most of these schemes. However the Labor/Green alliance has promised the upcoming carbon tax will be used to fight climate change, by making every Australian pay more [...]
President Barack Obama’s 2011 State of the Union address makes no mention of Climate Change. No mention of a Cap and Trade scheme, or a Carbon Tax. No mention of Global Warming.
So the leader of the richest and most powerful nation in the world makes no commitment on Climate Change. Meanwhile on the other side [...]
The Greens (the party) and other Climate alarmists will tell you that investment in renewables will result in tens of thousands of new “Green Jobs”. What they don’t tell you is that most of these “Green Jobs” are in China.
News of another Solar panel manufacturer moving to China from the USA. Australia has no Solar [...]
Australian Labor/Green Alliance Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency Greg Combet said yesterday “Our reliance on coal-fired power generation has made us prosperous.” However Greg Combet obviously does not want this prosperity to continue, as he wants to tax coal fired power stations out of existence.
Greg Combet says “Around 80 per cent of our [...]
The Climate Change alarmists are getting frustrated with the Australian population, and its growing climate change skepticism. If individuals or countries do not toe the Climate Change Religion line, then its time to use force.
That failed Greens candidate in the Higgins by-election Clive Hamilton, says its time for “the suspension of democratic processes”, and Dan [...]
The Chairman of the Productivity Commission chairman Gary Banks has warned against subsidising alternative energy sources. He says “most of the programs in question serve more as industry assistance than environmental assistance”.
He says that a carbon tax will have significant implications for productivity.
We are already paying for the subsidies for Solar Panels and Wind [...]
The latest survey from Essential Media shows that the majority of Australians do not believe that Climate Change is caused by mankind.
More interestingly a bare majority of Labor voters (53%) believe that “Climate change is happening and is caused by human activity”. This will be interesting when Prime Minister Julia Gillard brings in [...]
South Australian Premier Mike Rann tweets “Announcing that SA wants to set the toughest emission limits anywhere in Australia for electricity production.” and “The C02 emission limits we are proposing would effectively prevent the construction of new coal fired power stations in SA.”
That guarantees South Australians will be paying more for their electricity. South Australians [...]
It was a year ago on the 20th November 2009 that the Climategate emails were released from from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia.
What a difference a year makes.
In November 2009 Bernard Keane at Crikey was still banging on about Climate Change Deniers and saying “denial is only one [...]
Having just heard another obsequious interview by Alison Carabine on ABC Radio National Breakfast about the ACF (Australian Conservation Foundation) and ACTU (Australian Council of Trade Unions) report entitled “Green Gold Rush: How ambitious environmental policy can make Australia a leader in the global race for green jobs“, I thought I would download it [...]
Professor Tim Flannery speaking on ABC Radio Darwin here, interviewed by a fawning ABC announcer, makes more way out comments about Climate Change.
He says that most Climate Change skeptics are “men over 65″. This is contracticted by this Galaxy Poll here that shows that two thirds of the population now do not believe that [...]
