Title shortened to fit in the requirements for length of Titles here on FreeRepublic.
Wonder when Al Gore will not longer be welcome in any country.
Any day now will be too late to suit me.
And in other news today...
The Australian Dollar has surpassed the US Dollar.
Last time I looked the AUD is about .05 above the USD.
Mining jobs are booming, and so is construction.
Patience Ernie, patience. The day will come.
Would that mean that if you couldn’t or wouldn’t pay the tax, you would not be allowed to take a breath?
The largest tax fraud in human history. This is global.
But a carbon tax should help slow down the problem of excessive booming of the Mining Industry.
It is a Revenue raising scheme.

One question, for those who know Australia:
Are the Australian people going to be Australian sheep, and passively accept this?

Only problem is – How is this message conveyed to the population at large?
Gillard has the ball and the umpire is on her side.
I do not know how many people read Quadrant but it would be a drop in the ocean compared to the masses that are subjected daily to the party line put out by the Government over every media outlet.
Also, I am not sure what credibility Professor Bob Carter, Alan Moran and David Evans have with the public compared to all the scientific bodies Gillard claims are on her side. Let us be frank, unless you are a sceptic, not much.
Yes, there is a big movement going on opposing a Carbon Tax but it is as disorganised as the rebels in Libya. What the movement needs is a big name leader that can articulate the message in your article and win over the majority. At present the Government strategy is to demonise the opposition as redneck extremists that do not understand the science. This image needs to be strongly counteracted.
Not only does Gillard have a large number of people on her side such as the CSIRO and BOM, she also has the bulk of the MSM including the ABC. But most important of all she runs the elected Government albeit by deceit and she is counting on pushing the tax through and then hoping the public will get used to it before the next election in 2 and a half years time.
I really cannot see how she can be stopped unless the opposition and argument against increases at least tenfold.
Question is at post #13.

Congratulations Professor Carter for your continued efforts to bring some sanity to the Australian government and, more importantly to the Australian people.
I trust that somebody in your staff has forwarded copies to both the Federal and NSW State Liberal politicians (Labor seems to be away with the fairies at this time).
For people reading from outside Australia, it is interesting to note that the former Labor state government was trashed in the recent NSW elections.
Swings of over 30% were recorded against them in seats where people working in the coal mining and steel industries live, as well as in the equivalent state seats of the two independents in the national parliament who have foolishly joined the Labor and Green parties in a sort of coalition.
Communists worldwide spew the same lies.

Excellent summary of the non-science.
One minor point in section 7 about gov’t action:
“redirection of funding to areas that the government considers to be more productive, or more politically supportive. ”
This sentence really deserves to be expanded with specific examples. Most people don’t especially want an “efficient economy”, because “efficient economies” send jobs to China. But most people can understand immediately, and get properly outraged, when they see exactly who is getting filthy rich from their tax money, and why the tax money is going to those “politically supportive” organizations or corporations. Think Al Gore in the US, Rajendra Pachauri in Britain.
