Can anyone explain to me why there were Ice Ages before Man walked on this planet Earth? Why were early Man nomadic, moving from one place to another when climatic or environmental conditions became unfavourable? What caused the heavy downpour and big flood that resulted in Noah building the Ark and transporting pairs of animals to safety? Why were there frequent floods along the banks of the River Nile which left evidence of markings on the huge columns in ancient Egyptian temples? What brought about all the droughts, forest fires, cyclones and tsunamis in various parts of the World in pre-industrialisation history?

I stress the word pre-industrialisation because those were days when coal power generation plants were not around and the mode of transport was definitely not by cars run on petrol. So, what really caused the climatic changes even though there was minimal carbon (dioxide emission? Going back further to prehistoric time, what really caused the climatic changes even though Man were not around to cause any air pollution?

Using carbon tax to curb carbon emission is no difference from ghost busting, or trying to find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It's a myth!

Data quells double-dip recession fears

It's a load of mumbo-jumbo when ABS provides two sets of data, one actual and the other seasonally adjusted. The latter is used by RBA and for other reporting purposes. This contradicts the argument about climate change - if such man-made phenomenon does take place, the seasonal pattern cannot be relied on, and the mathematical model will be inaccurate.

There is another flaw using seasonally adjusted data; the real disastrous impact of financial crises resulting from external environment may be diluted which thus leads to incorrect formulation of corrective policies.

Sea levels to rise 1.1m

If the sea water is getting more saline, then melting ice will dilute it, marine lives will not be facing extinction.

If the land is getting arid, the rising water will irrigate it, deserts will become productive land.

If the underground water table is sinking, the excess water flowing inland will fill it, many high rise buildings will not face destruction.

Everything happens for a reason, and that's the beauty of nature! Climate change gives us hope and new lease of life!

Anyone remembers Target 155 during water restriction period? There was no tax imposed on the public, even when someone used above the target; and yet people were chipping in to make this Target campaign a success. Why can't we do this for carbon dioxide emission reduction?

CFC is suppose to destroy the ozone layer making ozone hole bigger and allowing more UV ray to reach the Earth surface causing skin cancer. There was not a tax on CFC and yet the blanket ban of CFC use worked.

Furthermore commonsense tells us that carbon tax will not help to cool the Earth, only global cooling technology can do the job.

We cannot fight the power of the Sun, Earth and Mother Nature. We have to accept the fact the temperatures will rise with time, and we must learn to adapt to the environmental changes.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and another real culprit can be reduced without causing pain and suffering to the Australian hip-pocket-nerves.

Make carbon tax hurt, Julia Gillard advised

I challenge Julia Gillard and all those climate scientists to give me an answer to this very simple question - where does the excess heat from the Sun that is not used up each day go to? This is so fundamental and yet these idiots can only come up with the most ridiculous argument that the heat is trapped by greenhouse gases which melt the ice.

The culprit causing global warming is the Sun, and greenhouse gases play an insignificant role in aggravating the process. Even without greenhouse gases, heat absorbed at the lower atmosphere level and by the oceans cannot dissipate fast enough to the almost-freezing upper atmosphere, unless the Earth rotation is slowed down so as to increase the duration of night for more heat to escape.

The melting ice cannot be reversed unless Earth’s temperature drops to sub-zero, which means the Earth has to experience another Ice Age. In short, Julia Gillard and the idiotic scientists expect us to freeze to death so that new icebergs can be formed again. During the new Ice Age, no one is allowed to turn on heaters, because that will increase the air temperature!

Increasing taxes set off a chain reaction in increasing prices of other consumer goods, utilities and other commodities. We can expect more closures of factories and even education institutions, increase in bankruptcies, unemployment, life-style stress, mental illness, homelessness and social unrest. What is the point of having a clean planet if ordinary people cannot enjoy, or in the worst case, without any human around to enjoy?

Julia Gillard must be the love child of Pinocchio and the big bad red-hair wolf which ate Red Riding Hood’s grandma!

Malcolm Turnbull's climate policy is a sad case

Carbon tax does not do anything to cool the Earth. It only makes the temperature of hardworking Australians go up to warm the Earth further.

Commonsense tells us that to counteract any warming, we need cooling or heat absorption. Swapping coal-fired power generation plants with solar or wind-driven ones only slows down the warming process negligibly, because the carbon dioxide discharge is so small percentage wise. Every year, bush fires and volcanic eruptions release more greenhouse pollutants than existing power plants.

It is so obvious that the Sun energy poured onto our planet everyday is not used up, and the excess is causing the warming of the atmosphere and the oceans.

Implementing carbon tax is going set up an economic chain reaction, more disastrous than any nuclear explosion. Besides increase in domestic electricity bills, all industries relying on electricity will be affected, and the cost will be passed on to the consumers.

Unfortunately carbon storage is not a feasible solution. A plausible answer is to grow high carbohydrate plants which act as carbon sink and help solve starvation. Anyone supporting Gillard, her goons, and shit stirrer Turnbull are wearing blinkers.

Tony Abbott keeps Liberals ahead of Labor

Well done, Tony for your effort. Carbon tax is NOT a goer, and you are right to campaign against it. Carbon tax does not solve global warming, because the sun energy will continue to heat up our planet with the introduction of carbon tax. However, your approach in burying the carbon dioxide is not a good idea, too. When carbon dioxide is formed, one carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms. This is analogous to oxygen depletion. Locking up the carbon dioxide also means locking up oxygen.

I have better alternatives. One is grow more carbohydrate (polysaccharides) which can be used as carbon sink as well as food for millions of hungry people in the world when harvested. Large carbon emitters and the greenies will not object such proposal, and in fact the former will be seen as environmental friendly global citizens. It also makes their triple bottom line look good.

The second alternative is to dehumidify moisture in the atmosphere. Water vapour is a bigger greenhouse culprit, worse than carbon dioxide. Atmospheric dehumidification may one day become just as popular as collection of rain water.

Rudd has trigger - but a March election unlikely

Climate change is a convenient term. It can mean global warming or global cooling, a real safe bet. Probe more deeply, ETS is not about climate change, it is about a slight smack on the bum those culprits who pour out more carbon dioxide and ask them make a "donation" to the poor box, get a fall guy to make good the sin.

By February 2010, the Copenhagen meeting is finished and done with for the time being, life goes on as normal, including Kevin Rudd's burning mid-night oil writing 2-broadsheet of "Life without glory - ETS demise".

To date, the Labor Federal Government has continuously pumped out uncosted programs and policies on the run; spent money as though there is no tomorrow. It could be true, too, for this may be one and only term for Kevin Rudd to run the country.
