Does Sacrifice Appease The Sun? | Real Science

Julia and other greens around the world believe that sacrifices must be made in order to control the climate. This is an age old idea which was used extensively by the Aztecs. It was well known at the time that global warming was ubiquitous and caused by a lack of human blood being spilled.

“Carbon Sunday” – The madness in Australia over the Carbon Tax | Watts Up With That?

They are calling it “Carbon Sunday”.

This is a collection of links and excerpts regarding PM Julia Gillard’s speech announcing the tax. In a nutshell, from what I can see, the majority of Australians are pissed, and she’s toast, partly because she lied about it before taking office, partly due to the fact it is being implemented as a deficit from the get-go. Oh and then there’s the fact that it won’t make a bit of difference to the temperature, and will be nullified by China.

Apparently, the way it is structured, it looks “Almost bordering on a bribe” (-Andrew Bolt, see his interview with Lindzen below) .
