its worth noting
re oil

mucgh of our fertiliser[as well as plastics] is made from oil
if we stopped using it to run cars trains planes..transport etc
we would need to dump it[after we got out the other stuff]

its pure insanity to think we can blame one thing
when there are many greenhouse gasses
[most far worse than carbon]

thus either tax all of em..
or live with the problems..the others will still bring
no quick fix is available

[their TEMPERARY-solution
is by far a bigger problem]
solar cells have a max life expectation of only 20 years
so in 20 years we will be doing it all over again

in the meantime..
just building the damm things
is adding to the problem..[if there really is one]

cant see brave PM..bob guilard taxing miners[for their methane
and farmers for their nitrouse oxides[leeching off their fields]
or the methane leeching out of their cow's buttox..

or taxing kids for the co2 in their coke[soft drink]

but why bother
those in power want a new tax credit to trade with
and they know the poor will just have to payup..or giveup

Your co2 and carbon explanations are kindergarton stuff.
We are talking about a carbon tax. Tax the polluters,
If you consider yourself a polluter Pay the tax.
There are lifestyle polluters, There are manufacturers that are polluters. There are alternatives to all problems, People just need a push.

Re Raw Mustard’s comment:

/// Where is our natural justice?

I guess this is the best we've got, see you at the rallies ///

I noted, but was not surprised, that ABC radio was reporting last night that there were opposing rallies in Melbourne concerning the carbon tax –but it only interviewed one side –the Getup initiated pro-tax rally.

I'm surprised that Bob Brown and his Greens haven't blamed the coal miners for the earthquakes. They were quick enoughto blame them forthe Queensland floods.

get out..gwet up is protesting..pro tax
how about that..diddnt take em long to addopt the govt line

thus it becomes a war of signs
the media will say its all pro warming tax

gotta admit
thats clever

ps they know how to play sign wars too
you can only beat that by becomming a spokesperson
or doing your own media..[packaging it and distributing it

Mise,
I’ve been thinking the same. I’m sure they ‘re working hard at finding a connection!

Following on from there, it’s interesting that the recent series of earthquakes pretty closely approximates the recent series of storms /floods. For many regions the quakes have been the worst for a long time --but the consensus remains they’re not connected and there’s escalation.

However, across the street in AGW–land the ‘experts’ are telling us the weather-events are all related and they are getting bigger and badder.

Perhaps our noticing of both has more to do with our increased coverage of the globe, both in terms of our numbers, and in terms of our interconnections –as the speaker below highlights (much to the disappointment of his ABC host).
