Dickie “As Sir Nicholas Stern advised, the biggest market failure of all is the global warming threat itself.”

And if I recall, the Russians, in the mid 1980’s the problem with the American Star Wars project was the “threat itself”.

I do not seek or desire to be dragged, screaming and shouting along the path of global warming by Nicholas Stern or anyone else.

(Unlike the Russians, who capitulated to the ‘threat’).

I do not support paying government to buy off supposed strategies which are unproven.

In times of war, it might be prudent to accept more governmental direction in our lives.

But we are not at war.

We are not even playing at war.

Until the reason for “Global Warming” is proven, we should not re-engineer our entire economy and impose unnecessary and fraudulent taxes on a perceived threat.

If it reasons like a pig, stinks like a pig and grows fat on consuming swill,

it is, most probably just

Dickie has failed again to address the flaws in Severinghause's theory.How does CO2 act like an amplifer Dickie?Dickie's poses grandiose number sof 270 billion tonnes of Co2 being released into the atmosphere ,yet for every molecule of CO2 there is 2500 molecules of gases that make up the rest of our atmosphere.CO2 is a minor gas.

During the Jurassic period CO2 levels were 1000%[ten times] higher than now.CO2 levels have been as high as 18 times that of the present.We have only added 30% to the environment since the industrial revolution. Scientists still don't know caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.It is pure conjecture again on your behalf Dickie!

The role of a scientist is to be sceptical.It is not proven that CO2 is the major influence of our climate.There are no verifiable,repeatable experiments that show proof of C02 being the major cause.

All of us should remain sceptical,since the cure of carbon trading may well be far worse than the perceived disease.Politics,money and ideology have stolen the debate and the real science is coming a poor second.

Dickie your assault on me,says more about your own insecurities and flaws than mine.If your perceived truth is real,why is it not self evident?

Ah yes, this article reminds me why I will never vote Liberal again. All greed, no responsibility.
