Inflation up, carbon tax blamed | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Just as the economy gets the staggers, here comes the carbon tax, driving inflation higher than expected
...
And remember, this tax - which costs us money and jobs - will do absolutely nothing to stop any global warming.

In fact, the planet has not warmed in 16 years.

PBS Frontline climate change special cites bogus ‘consensus’ | Watts Up With That?

Frontline repeatedly implied that there is an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists that our CO2 emissions are driving us to a global climate catastrophe. They cited 97% as the fraction of the climate science community who agreed with climate alarmism.

That number is easily dismissed. It comes from a 2009 online survey of 10,257 earth scientists, conducted by two researchers at the University of Illinois. Strangely, the researchers chose to eliminate almost all the scientists from the survey and so ended up with only 77 people, 75 of whom, or 97%, thought humans contributed to climate change.

Besides the fact that, with tens of thousands of climate scientists in the world, 77 is a trivial sample size, the survey coordinators did not ask respondents how much humans had contributed to climate change. The poll is therefore meaningless.

Winter is already setting in motion: first shots of polar USA, Europe and Asia. And the Arctic ice rapidly growing ... by Peppe Caridi | Climate Realists

Not only Europe but also Asia and North America are experiencing intense first polar trips. We have already discussed in this article of the early snowfall that affected the Northeast China / East Asia, where more are expected in the coming days of snow and ice storms arriving in Korea, where temperatures will most likely beat the old record, if they are confirmed projections for Halloween night, which could lead snows on the coasts in Korea, and in the following days even in Japan.

Meanwhile, Canada and the U.S. are preparing to live the first winter storms, just at the same time to arrival of the cold weather in Europe. In short, the winter is already setting in motion, and it does well in advance.

Most definitely, listen to the concerns of small businesses. Big businesses like onerous mandates; big government harassment is a good way to kill potential competitors. Just because a business complains about the rules, regulations and mandates does not mean they "just want dirty air and water." Business sees a flaming hoop, with no valid justification, not a reasonable rule to prevent pollution. Politicians should listen, not make ridiculous accusations.
