Dear Poirot,

It's been a pleasure sharing cyberspace with you.
I'm taking a bit of a break.

Why thank you, Lexi - and allow me to return the compliment.

Enjoy your break : )

Poirot and Lexi,

So which one of the tag-team is in the ring now ? Orca or pussy-cat ?

Joe

P,

Without some global agreement and action at least by more than a tiny fraction of the world's polluters, the carbon tax is frivolous and the melting of the arctic ice has nothing to do with whether Aus has a fixed, floating or no carbon tax.

".....since the price on carbon came into effect, more than half a trillion dollars has been added to the combined value of housing and stocks listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. That is $500,000,000,000.00, or the equivalent of $22,000 for every man, woman and child, all of which has accrued in just over a year.

And this half a trillion dollar does not include dividends, in the case of stocks, or actual and imputed rent on dwellings. Dividend payments on stocks over that time are around an additional $65 billion or so."
