New Tax - Inbound
Sydney Morning Herald: Final Copenhagen Text Includes Global Transaction Tax
"The text also proposes a range of innovative mechanisms for raising the money, ranging from a tax on air and sea transports fuels to a tax on financial transfers". Could see new taxes on Housing and Comercial property...Darling's repayment cash must come from somewhere!

Can we not be fitted with a chip from birth that can detect & record our own carbon foot print, from the amounts of farts one does in a year to the in take of clean air (breathing) & have an annual tax, this should bring quite a profit for the country...?

Gordo can command the weather & tides all he needs is some more tax, that said Jesus did do it for free.

Wasn't that Moses or somebody? Jesus didn't commant tides, he just walked across the water.

I can't decide whether this climate change summit is a fantastic achievement (to get all the world's countries together to address the problem) - or does it just illustrate how big is the gravy train for politicians, academics and the finance industry?
I beleive in man made climate change and I think someone ought to do something about it, but I am a trifle sceptical about the way they are going about it. I really can't imagine everything being zero carbon in 40 years time.

cyril,
check out Lord Moncktons other videos whilst they are still on utube and also his writings. We all want the best for the planet, but others
want much more.

@Cyril: "I beleive in man made climate change"
Will someone tell me what bloody difference it makes whether it's caused by man or not. Crunchy, maybe ask your Lord Monkey too.
Pick something else - cancer - natural, but no one bitches "bloody doctors meddling with nature for the benefit of people!"
"and I think someone ought to do something about it" - agreed, either way.

Climate change is man made - made by H.A.A.R.P. and missile tests maybe?
By the way H.A.A.R.P. is in Alaska ie. Arctic where the ice disappeared for a while.

So what are they going to do with all this tax revenue money? Burn it? Cos if they don't it'll just be spent by governments on polluting pursuits anyway.
If man-made CO2 is responsible of climate change, even if we magically trim our CO2 emissions by 50% from tomorrow, it'll just be p1ssing in the wind in the overall scheme of things. We may as well stop talking bull and get on with digging up all the oil and gas and burning it and crossing our fingers, cos that's what's really going to happen, along with quite a few devastating wars as we all fight over the few resources left.

Like turbines and solar panels?

When Charlie tells little bro Andy to take the car to the next golf competition, 50 mile up the road,and not mom's Wirly Bird, then I will adjust my own travel arrangements.
China, tow the line and lower your emissions, " OK. You’ve had two hundred years of Industrial Revolution, when we've had ours, then come and talk, until then, go swivel...

@rumble: The reason it's important to continue the antihuman propaganda of global warming is so that the corporate polluters can blame us (citizen's of the world) for climate change and therefore tax us. Carbon taxes leads to carbon trading where corporations can continue polluting while buying carbon credits so they can 'appear' carbon neutral.
The temperature has not changed to any statistically significant degree over these last 10 years and is less historically over this last 10,000 year warming period we are in, and the CRU emails show they spun and fudged the data, bullied warming skeptics, hid the medieval warming period when vikings landed in North America and prevented any real discussion of climate change while completely ignoring the SUN (that big hot burning ball of gas next door to us) as the culprit for climate change.

"You’ve had two hundred years of Industrial Revolution, when we've had ours..."
You think the Chinese are going to sit around and miss out on the fruits of a green revolution? You're kidding, right?

4 new coal fired power stations each day, You've rumbled me Rumble!
16. rumble said...
"4 new coal fired power stations each day"
That says where they're at, not where they're going, eg building world's biggest photovoltaic plant.
17. crunchy said...
8. rumble The difference is that they can lay a guilt trip on humans and tax the living daylights out of them for breathing.
Monkey see, monkey do. Lord Monckton is a good man. It would take an arseh0le to think otherwise, even a little one.
