Well, the Australian Carbon Tax has been in effect for three days now and no; the sky hasn’t fallen, yet! Would our elected officials lie to us? For instance “Ms Gillard, and indeed not only Greg Combet, but everyone in government from the ALP, to the Greens and the independents, Mr Oakeshott and Mr Windsor, also claim that it is essential to stop CO2 emissions to save the planet. Yet the coal industry is going to continue exporting coal to the world, which will continue using coal in expanding fashion. Other nations that Australia exports coal to will continue to use coal at an expanding rate; this includes China, now the world’s largest CO2 emitter and Australia’s largest market for coal.
So, we have a situation in Australia where Ms Gillard and other people like Mr Combet, claim that Australia’s prosperity will increase if we stop using coal, yet Australia is going to increase exporting coal to foreign nations, primarily China.
Does this mean Australia wants China to be less prosperousObviously this does not make sense. Either Ms Gillard believes what she is saying, in which case she is a fool.
Or she is a liar.” Whatyareckon?
