Greenpeace Warmist: Hey, All You Warmists Shouldn’t Feel Guilty About Being Complete Hypocrites : Stop The ACLU
See? It’s that easy, Warmists. It’s Someone Else’s fault, so, buck up little campers, don’t feel guilty…do any actually feel guilty? I’ve yet to run across any Warmist who feels guilty about being a climahypocrite. They also seem to have lots of excuses handy as to why they barely take even token measures within their own lives. Anyhow, I really find amusement in the notion that Warmists are supposed to fight back against those who attempt to make them feel guilty, because that’s apparently more important than practicing what they preach.

SPECIAL REPORT / Economic heavyweights France and Germany continue to violate limits of one of Europe’s most common urban pollutants, nitrogen oxides, despite their legal obligations to clean up the air.

At the same time, France, Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom have sought to exempt dozens of coal-fired energy stations from the EU’s pollution regulations for large-combustion plants, allowing the heavy polluters to continue operating at least until the end of 2015.

The greens have deluded themselves into thinking that somehow market forces didn’t apply to manufacturing “clean” tech. It just illustrates the lack of policy competence in the green community, and the cleverness of crony capitalists, who know the silly greens will lobby for your sweetheart deal if you sprinkle some of their favorite phrases into the promotional literature.
The carbon tax could be a bitter pill on polling day | The Courier
However, Ballarat MP Catherine King said the Liberals were misleading the public about the effect of the carbon price on the economy.
“Last year Victorian retailers like EnergyAustralia increased household electricity prices by around 8.5 per cent to recover the costs of the carbon price,” Ms King said.
“In Ballarat ... this works out around $2.30 per week for a typical household consumer. The government’s household assistance, which averages $10.10 per week, is specifically designed to cover this.   [Can someone explain to me again how redistributing money like this results in bad weather getting prevented?]
