Your carbon foot print? (38)

I know when i use that through the washing, the smell drift's through the house...i'll remember that!!

Aren't cows vegetarians and they want to charge them for burping greenhouse poluting gases?

But cows are so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would rather one cow than a years supply of vegetables !

Tis a sad day when we have no power due to gases being over our daily limit while big brother switches our smart metre off for 24hr.

This Carbon Tax is about as much about reducing CO2 emission as CS is about getting a date for Friday night. Read past the "Carbon" and take notice of the "Tax". It's all about imposing a real broad based tax on us all to pay for the ever increasing public service and political elite.

1. John Howard's GST (Which could have been Paul Keating's GST but he couldn't sell it at the time) didn't get up as a real broad based tax because it had exclusions. Food, rent, education services, health services and real estate had to be excluded to get the tax approved by enough members in both houses of Parliament. A Carbon Tax will tax everything that you do.

2. How is the Carbon Tax going to reduce World wide carbon emmission? Do you REALLY believe that taxing 0.0032 of the World's population who produce 0.002 percent of the World carbon emissions will make any difference ... HUH?

3. Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency Greg Combet is already spruking that the taxes raised by the Carbon Tax will go towards social welfare relief and tax cuts for low inciome earners ... Doesn't sound much like the construction of renewable energy sources to me.

4. Tony Abbot flat out avoided stating that he would remove the Carbon Tax when asked by the news media representatives ... Of course he won't! A politician will never give up a tax. It's what he pays his public servant "experts" with.

Probably shorter than you think for the planet to repair ... but I'm not convinced that we are all damaging anymore than I believe every moggie is an unrelenting extintion machine.

I do believe (on observing published evidence that there is a global warming trend and that industrialised human activity is probably responsible. But we may have been heading for a newice age without warming. That is what this planet does. It has a series of ice ages which both dry and cool the climate. The last glacial maximum (LGM) was less that 10,000 years ago and ALL of civilisation, agriculture and industrialisation has developed since then.

Of course if the recent movements in the Pacific Plate indicate a new volcanic super eruption ... well it won't matter what we do. We are up for the amounts of ash in the atmosphere that will trigger another ice age and there is nothing that you or I or any government can do about it.
