....If scientists told us there was a giant asteroid headed for Earth and we could deflect it but our governments ignored them and tragedy happened wouldnt our leaders be culpable?
Whats the difference?

The difference would be that it was headed for the world as a hole and the world AS A HOLE would act. Huge difference.

.....Dont you insure your house/business?
Yes, but not the rest of the world's, and that's the difference here.

....The risks of climate change and the destruction it will wreak are worth insuring
against.

Agree, all that is needed is for the world to take steps to insure against this problem, not us alone.

Can anyone who is not still trying to use the global warming fraud to promote one world government, or simply following the lefty script, still actually believe CO2 is a danger to life on earth?

The promoters & particularly the UN have used so many lies, distortions & tricks to try to keep their world government push using it alive, any idiot could see it, if they looked.

Hell they even changed it's name to climate change, as they knew, just as well as all thinking people, that the planet is cooling, & would get colder under the influence of a slow phase in the sun, evidenced by fewer sun spots.

It is not rocket science. That it is, is only claimed by those who don't want too many to understand. Understanding is the real enemy of the warmist crowd. Understanding makes their theory untenable, & destroys the attempt to move us back to the dark ages, & the feudal system of that time.

George W Bush a 'leftie', Hasbeen?

Although Luntz later tried to distance himself from the Bush administration policy, it was his idea that administration communications reframe "global warming" as "climate change" since "climate change" was thought to sound less severe.

Carbon Tax gone now Welfare to big business to clean up

Will the states need to Raise GST because tony is paying his mates

Aussieoy, how is Tony paying his mates?

As I see it, at best, all he's doing is giving back what was taken away. Besides, the billions taken away, once re injected, could generate jobs because after all, money spent on taxes like this don't create jobs, except for the pen pushers.

For a business to prosper, the most important thing they need is cash flow. This move will provide just that, not to mention a huge boost to business confidence.

Watch this space I say.

Precisely what was happening with investment in renewable energy technology.

Solar thermal in Australia? Not if 'King Coal' has its way.
