Ah, it must be wonderful to be a lefty politician smacked in the face with reality
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd last night did an about-face on deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, days after Australia’s delegation backed the plan at the climate talks in Bali.
A government representative at the talks this week said Australia backed a 25-40 per cent cut on 1990 emission levels by 2020.
But after warnings it would lead to huge rises in electricity prices, Mr Rudd said the Government would not support the target.
The repudiation of the delegate’s position represents the first stumble by the new Government’s in its approach to climate change.
Rudd just learned first hand what could happen when one tries to please people who are hysterical over climate change, ie, the natural processes of the Earth and Sun.
An ESAA report released this year found cutting carbon emissions by 30 per cent of 2000 levels by 2030 wold push up power costs by 30 per cen
Not to mention all the reallocation of $$$$ to non-productive countries from productive countries that has been bandied around. Why does the word “socialism” come to mind? Well, that, and hypocrites, regarding the Bali meetings.
Greenpeace campaigner Steven Campbell said Australia should slash carbon emissions by 20 to 40 per cent of 1990 levels by 2020.
Why? As in, “why 1990?” What is the significance? So many of these climahysterics, when not chaining themselves to boats and trees, say that climate change started either in the 1980’s or the turn of the last century. So, why 1990? And, if it is 1990, why are they not slamming Bill Clinton for not “doing something,” including his failure to sign Kyoto?
Tell ya what: all those who believe climate change is mostly man’s fault or all man’s fault, you change your lifestyle, pay more for energy, and give lots of your money to the UN. What? You do not want to do that? You want everyone else to do that, because you just cannot give up your Suburban, what with all the rugrats, soccer games, vacations, and, you just do not have the time? Go figure.

The IPCC falsified data showing a sea level rise from 1992-2002 according to Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner, former head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University in Sweden. In an interview by George Murphy, Mörner cites various examples of falsification of evidence claiming sea level rises.
