Who is funding climate change sceptics?
The Sunday Age has commited to reporting on the 10 most popular questions.

The top question so far, with more than 230 votes, listed by Jason Fong soon after the project opened on Sunday, asks: ''The very point of Australia's carbon tax is to reduce global warming. How much will reducing 5 per cent of Australia's around 1.5 per cent contribution of global CO2 emissions reduce global temperature by?''

It has cost the Australian taxpayer $4 million, for 20 pages of lies and deceits. Worth it? HELL NO.

Julia Gillard claims she is quite happy to use the word “tax”, yet the term does not appear once in this entire document. It’s a “carbon price”. And they reckon households won’t even pay it, only the “big polluters”. Even if consumers aren’t going to be taxed directly, there is still going to be a price impact. That would be why they’re bragging about the compensation on the front page.

There were 45 references to carbon dioxide as “pollution”. I guess that’s the only way they can support their assertion of a ‘clean energy future’, another lie.

They actually brag about the formation of the ‘Climate Change Authority’. Yay, we have a new bureaucracy!

Now it is the NSF using taxpayers' money to propagate Warmism

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $700,000 grant to the Civilians, a New York theater company, to finance the production of a show about climate change. “The Great Immensity,” with a book by Steven Cosson (“This Beautiful City”) and music and lyrics by Michael Friedman (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”), tells the story of Polly, a photojournalist who disappears while working in the rain forests of Panama.

The grant is a rare gift to an arts organization from the foundation, a federal agency that pays for science, engineering and mathematics research and education. The company says it plans to spend the money on the development and evaluation of the show, as well as on a tour and educational programs, including post-show panel discussions with experts in related scientific fields. No performance dates have been announced.
