By Ted Christie, published 3/2/2012

Twenty-one dollars a tonne is too timid a carbon price to make any impact

Wars don't always come from the outside. They can start from within as they did in Germany.
Don't forget the IRA. They fought a bloody 30year terrorist war against Britain who marched into Ireland in the 1600's and all the British settlers poured in and built houses and towns there.

It was never a religious war the IRA always stated their aims clearly and that was for control of Ireland. In other words an Irish republic not under the control of Britain.
Rwanda-internal war
Sri Lanka, - internal war.
Solomons-internal war
Fiji- internal military take over by the original Fijians against the
huge number of Indian immigrants.

Its happening all over the world and don't think it can't happen here.
The internal riots in France where 20,000 cars were torched.
The French had enough forces to take back control, next time they may not be able to take back control.

We've seen riots in England and the Cronulla thing here too.
Small examples of bigger things to come.
It can erupt at any time anywhere and as was the case in Rwanda and Bosnia there can be thousands dead before anyone can do anything about it. So don’t count on Law and order.

I still say the biggest threat to peace and the planet is overpopulation and the throwing together of big tribes into one territory or country. Global warming is the new Greenie religion they always have to have one.
Overpopulation is ominously real, Global Warming is still not 100% certain.

So when the first (I believe) exchange to trade Carbon Credits goes belly up, this doesn't mean anything? The Australian Govt still goes ahead and introduces this farcical legislation? $23 - $200? You have to be joking - you can't even get 5 cents in the USA!

From Wikipedia (not my favourite - but still useful occasionally);

"
The now defunct Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) was North America’s only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and trading system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.
"

"
Final Trading Position

The effective final CFI position was reached in November 2010 when the carbon credit price per metric ton of CO2 was between 10 and 5 US Cents, down from its highest value of 750 US Cents in May 2008. Trading reached zero monthly volume in February 2010 and remained at zero for the next 9 months when the decision to close the exchange was announced.
