ChristinaMac1,

Has it ever occurred to you that financial investors make their money out of “investing”?

Fossil fuel prices have hit the deck because the world is awash with them even the USA is exporting cheap surplus fossil fuels. So why not invest in renewables where your profit is paid for and guaranteed by taxpayers and consumers? At least for the moment.

Rockefeller and the likes of Citigroup are not your friends, they just want gullible people like you to help boost their profits.

I can’t decide if your gullibility is based on ignorance or ideology? In the end it won’t really matter because money will always chase more money. It’s the marketing that catches the useful idiots.

In reply to "Thinkers"
Don't worry, Tony Abbott WILL be gone soon - next election.

Families face paying up to £40 extra each year for wind and solar farms to meet climate change targets after the government revised its energy price forecasts. The subsidy required for each unit of renewable electricity will rise after the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) conceded that gas was much cheaper than it had predicted. A glut of gas on the world market means gas-fired power stations have become cheaper to run, making wind and solar farms comparatively even more expensive. --Tim Webb & Ben Webster, The Times, 3 October 2014

ChristineMac, the only shift in the polls is in Abbot's favour.
Your wishful thinking is a poor basis for prediction.
"Carbon Tax Bill's prospects are deteriorating.

Tally, why address yourself to me?
Not sure about that myself, however to respect your point of view.

Short-hand....Whatever I've ingested?

For people like you, the big picture often escapes the combined thinking's of anything worth-while.
Meaning MAN with blinkers on.
The human-race is running by the seat of its preverbal pants and although no-one wants to scare anyone, education and understandings of the global money-making machine which has to run in all four directions to be able to function efficiently so all can enjoy our lives around the world. Well most of them...However, climate models are worthless... For the mathematically minded:
There are a few different methods of how to calculate the SOI. The method used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology is the Troup SOI which is the standardised anomaly of the Mean Sea Level Pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin. It is calculated as follows:


[ Pdiff - Pdiffav ]
SOI = 10
SD(Pdiff)


The Southern Oscillation Index, or SOI, gives an indication of the development and intensity of El Niño or La Niña events in the Pacific Ocean. The SOI is calculated using the pressure differences between Tahiti and Darwin.
“The Carteret Islanders of Papua New Guinea have become the world’s first entire community to be displaced by climate change.” Papua New Guinea shares an island with Indonesia, another nation.
20 million people are expected to be caused by climate change.

Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate.

I can see why people think your broken record.

Tally, you have referred us to a nonsense video. You are reminiscent of the liar, Al Gore, who made the totally false statement that climate refugees from Tuvalu, had migrated to New Zealand

The fellow in the video, you linked, is a liar or an ignoramus. A study of coral islands showed that even if sea levels rise, and currently, they are not, the islands grow faster than the sea levels rise.

“the study suggested the islands had a natural ability to respond to rising seas by accumulating coral debris from the outlying reefs that surround them.
"It has long been thought that as the sea level goes up, islands will sit there and drown. But they won't," Professor Kench said”

The Cartaret Islads have problems, but linking them to climate change appears to be baseless. There is an effort to falsely present the inhabitants as climate change refugees.

In your list of climate lies you left out the false assertion of ocean acidification. I am sure this was a memory lapse rather than any scruple about misinforming us.
