Current global temperature- right back to long term average. Total net warming since 1970– zero

Real purpose of the climate change scam– higher taxes to pay the likes of Tim Flannery to scare us into doing something to fix the non-existent problem.

From Andrew Bolt:

16 August 2010, just six months ago:

Julia Gillard has said there will be no tax on carbon while she leads the federal government…

‘’There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.”

Today:

JULIA Gillard says Australia have a price on carbon from July 1 next year if she can win the numbers in Federal Parliament.

Julia Gillard today announced a carbon price would start on July 1 2012 if she can get legislation passed in federal parliament.

In a deal with the Greens, the PM said tackling climate change and cutting pollution was critical for Australia’s clean energy future.

She announced a two-stage plan that would start with a fixed price on carbon for between three and five years, with the second stage being an emissions trading scheme.

So Gillard broke a solem promise – or lied. Asked about this – six or so questions into the press conference – she avoided giving any kind of direct answer.

Worse than the lie, here is a tax on the carbon dioxide emissions that will do zero to world temperatures – which may not even cause us harm if they rose. We will pay plenty in exchange for zero good. Many MPs within Labor know this, too, but dare say nothing.
