Dear Sophie, getting harder and harder isn’t it?

Throw in a “title” that appears self critical, spread a little blame on your own side for their ineptitude then extend your displeasure to the opposition and the media.

You start off with your conclusion; that we need a “carbon dioxide tax”, then you have to reverse engineer your article to support that conclusion. Not very convincing is it?

It’s interesting that the 45,000 people out on the streets shouting tax me, tax me, represent 0.2% of Australians. I get this sneaky feeling that you actually see this as significant.

As for the rest of your article, it’s the same old proselytizing. Faith, ideology, dogma and self imposed ignorance.

It really is time you started thinking for yourself.

What is it about Arts/Law, [our Julia did it] that makes people incapable of smelling BS, or doing the math & science themselves to understand this rubbish.

Could it be that the ideology is so deep in these schools that they all come out so far left that any BS will do, as long as it promotes the left.

Come to think of it, why is global warming so strongly supported by the left. Surely falling for the rubbish should have nothing to do with ones political ideology.

I have finally heard a few lefties who don't want a carbon dioxide tax, but I am still to hear of even one who doesn't believe in global warming. Are the high priests of AGW that good, or the congregation that easily lead.

Oh dear.....Here comes the conspiracy agents.

When is the commentariat going to realise that we are all polluters and if we are going to have an effective tax, then we should all be paying. Giving compensation to pensioners and the low paid defeats the purpose of the whole exercise and does nothing to reduce CO2 emissions.

Yes, David, but its not about 'pollution' its about creating a new source of funds and a new economic system. Global Warming is just the vehicle to manipulate people through fear and fear is one of the only ways to get money out of people these days. Its similar to a protection racket. Hand over your money and we'll stop bad things happening to you.

If it were about 'pollution' then no-one would be recompensed for 'polluting' like pensioners will be.

Interesting point Hasbeen. Support for AGW is 80% from the Greens, 60% from the ALP and 30% from the Lib/Nats.

Perhaps we could invite Quantumleap to explain this
