Gillard should be glad Alcoa’s smelter may die | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Terry McCrann on the Gillard Government’s crocodile tears for Alcoa:

WHAT on earth is the problem?

 Julia Gillard and Greg Combet should be over the moon, or at least, wildly ecstatic, at the possible—probable? certain?—closure of Alcoa’s aluminium smelter at Point Henry near Geelong.

Even if such closure is not a direct consequence of the Gillard Government’s carbon tax, it is precisely what the carbon tax is intended to achieve.

They should be shouting in joy from the rooftops: one down and five to go. And doing so even more joyously, because the first closure looks like coming `free’, thanks mainly to the high value of the Australian dollar.

We can at last see the future and it is one in which all evil planet-destroying aluminium smelters have been driven from our fair land, should be the Gillard-Combet mantra.

For in the eyes of Gillard and Combet, aluminium smelters are only, and then only just, `out-eviled’ by coal-fired power stations themselves.

 After all, aluminium is often described as `congealed electricity’. And trust me, they can’t run on electricity `produced’ by wind farms. It’s gotta be baseload and can only be coal.

What Drives The Climate In The 21st Century? | Real Science

It is abundantly clear that CO2 is not the primary driver of climate. If it were the primary driver, we would see minor variations around a consistent trend. What we actually see are linear segments with wildly different slopes – the exact opposite of what Hansen’s theories require.

Industrial Destruction Advocates « the Air Vent

Another 501C working for you. As insane as it can be, they are openly advocating working with mid-east countries for oil instead of our friends to the North.  It isn’t like the oil won’t be burned.  It will be burned by China, while US dollars go to the middle east.

Our brilliant climate leaders – doing the right thing – again.
