Jon J:

Did you even read any of the peer-reviewed articles in the link you provided? Not one of them challenges AGW theory in their synopsis.

And as regards to your claim that "most geologists don't support the AGW hypothesis", try reading this from the Geological Society of London:

http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/webdav/site/GSL/groups/ourviews_edit/public/Climate%20change%20-%20evidence%20from%20the%20geological%20record.pdf

And this from their American counterpart:

http://www.geosociety.org/positions/position10.htm

Your information is based on false assertions made by non-credible sources

Correct TrashcanMan.

JonJ does the same as Ian Plimer - cites numerous peer reviewed papers and articles hoping that no one actually looks at them. If they do, hopes that they don't understand them.

If they did then the so called 'sceptics' and 'deniers' house of cards crumble.

Couldn't help but burst out in raucus laughter when one of the 1st of JonJ's peer reviewed articles challenging AGW was co-authored by Stefan Rahmstorf.

That's right, the same Professor Stefan Rahmstorf who is a contributing author from Real Climate:

Yep, JonJ's link is a complete farce, imho.

The tax compensation package is mostly smoke and mirrors. Tristan has made the same error as many commentators and ignored the changes to the Low Income Tax Offset. The LITO is $1500 and will reduce to $445 next year which has the effect of reversing many of the tax changes announced.
Essentially, people earning between $18000 and $70000 will pay about $6 a week less tax next year although those earning $20000 to $26000 will pay a little less again.
The situation changes radically when you adjust for 2.5% inflation. Those earning $18000 to $36000 still pay about $6 a week less tax but everyone else gets gets virtually no tax relief or pays more tax.
The tax package is good in that low income earners get some tax relief but the majority get no compensation or pay more.
I would think that the government will get even more income tax with this package before we even consider the money raised from CO2 emissions.

Now that the rest of the world are waking up to the fact that anthropogenic global warming is a con, and therefore not justifying any CO2 emission reduction action, Labor and the Greens are pressing ahead with a carbon tax. What did we do to deserve such a crazy reaction!
