Climate Common Sense: Canadian PM shoots down case for Carbon tax

One of the fundamental tenets of the Labor government's argument for a carbon tax is that it will be part of a global market allowing carbon indulgences to be traded.

This means that all the major emitters such as the US, China, India and Japan will not be swapping carbon paper credits with the Aussies leaving us up sh*t creek without a paddle if we continue with a carbon tax.

Never did the discussion entertain the possibility that massive urbanization is the proximate factor in human-caused global warming, a theory postulated by Dr. Michael Crichton in 2004.

We've lost the science in scientific. We no longer seek results from testing; we create testing to support predetermined claims. It has become solely a grant-grab with participants including universities and private groups alike. And, as Crichton said, "Everybody has an agenda. Except me."
