OT - new carbon tax 26-Feb-2011 At 7:49:36 AM TonyB

Message

I remember arguing with people about the GST before it came in. Most people claimed the country "needed" it. They could not understand it was just another tax, without any benefit. The masses voted in a government on the basis of this new tax.

Carbon trading is even worse than a tax. It will only benefit large companies like BHP who have unviable factories with large CO2 emission that they want to move offshore. The taxpayer will now fund them to do this. IPCC's Pachauri has already scammed millions of dollars in exactly this fashion by relocating his steel mills. Our new tax will do zero for the environment. The USA has dumped it and has also dumped financial support for the IPCC because :

"My constituents should not have to continue to foot the bill for an organization to keep producing corrupt findings that can be used as justification to impose a massive new energy tax on every American."

All this on the basis of a very shonky CO2 theory that doesn't have a single shred of evidence to support it. I recently had a series of emails with Dr Kevin Trenberth, lead IPCC author, of ClimateGate infamy. I asked him what was the best evidence for man causing global warming. He replied that it was sea levels. I pointed out that sea levels have been rising for the past 8000 years, with the rate of rise slowly decreasing to the point that there has been almost no change over the past 50 years.

I pointed out to Trenberth that his mate Dr Phil Jones, the man responsible for the IPCC temperature data has admitted that there has been no temperature rise for the past 15 years. In the typical fashion of a scammer, he lied: "he didn't say that". I pointed out that Jones did indeed "say that", both to parliament and on BBC interview.

The sun has now entered solar cycle 24, which looks like being quietest since the Little Ice Age. Svalgaard's well supported theory on the magnetic solar influence on cosmic rays and on cloud seeding will soon be put to the ultimate test. It is likely that the natural causes warming over the past 300 years since the LIA, will soon end and the world will cool 2 degrees over the next 20 years ... but you can be sure we will never lose our new scammers' tax.
