Why are so many countries acting on Climate Change because of the overwhelming evidence, rather than doing nothing based on the DENIERS?

The Distilled Spirits Industry Council of Australia said the reduction in consumption showed people were substituting other beverages for alcopops.
A spokesman, Stephen Riden, said: "We knew there would be a drop in that order but we also knew there would be an increase in wine and beer and spirits." ![]() gee theres a surprise |

By:
as with the last question
Why are so many countries acting on Climate Change because of the overwhelming evidence you have no proof until you post.............yawn |
|
By:
Well if the Denying evidence is so strong and overwhelming, why are so many countries acting to protect the planet, against their advice?

Qualified Peer reviewed papers on Climate Change
Lol ... you would have hoped that the IPCC ONLY presented information that was PEER REVIEWED ... as that was their MAIN CONTENTION ... we will ONLY present PEER REVIEWED info well they DIDN'T ... and that puts a shadowy mark all over their story ... and an awful blight on their total presentation ... ffs http://joannenova.com.au/2010/04/the-ipcc-5600-small-white-lies/ (yes sceptics ... sceptics are not DISBELIEVERS OF EVERYTHING ... sceptics will only believe FACTS ... and a sceptic will change their mind when FACTS are provided ... ) thank fk someone is out keeping the deceivers honest ... else we'd only continue to get fed TRIPE on this topic shame on the IPCC for presenting their findings to the world this way |

and another 'leak' exposing the LACK OF FACTS presented to mainstream citizens
Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the US government's National Centre for Atmospheric Research and the IPCC's lead author on climate change science in its monumental 2002 and 2007 reports. have a read of the last 4 paragraphs again http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1335798/Global-warming-halted-Thats-happened-warmest-year-record.html |

afl ... it's a money grab from the heart of the western countries .. the honest & innocent hardworking taxpaying citizens
and it's a big plan cause if it weren't a money grab ... there'd be companies LINED UP NOW ready to GREEN the west ... trouble is ... there ain't .. the money grab will NOT ALL go to the environment ... so it's a TRICK plain and simple and good citizens like yourself & womble who actually want something DONE for the environment are being DUPED ask yourself this question ... how will you tangibly SEE that the environment is cleaner after the tax ? ... and not political rhetoric please ... how will you actually WITNESS this yourself when you step outside YOUR front door |

Deniers World Wide =
The American/World Religious Right. (P1ssed that the Scientists have so much voice in the the Creation vs Evolution debate) The Tea Party.Republican ancillary that are Just P1ssed, and oppose anything the democrats stand for. The Republicans. DITTO. SOUND FAMILIAR? The Liberal Party who admit that they oppose everything Labor. Shock Jocks like Jones LIBERAL BOLT LIBERAL Pretend Experts PILMER LIBERAL MOUTHPIECE CARTER LIBERAL MOUTHPIECE EVANS LIBERAL MOUTHPIECE I'm sorry if you,think I am deluded but that is not a club I am going to join any time soon. On top of this there is the broad overwhelming weight of evidence/opinion from the scientific community |
|
By:
is it broad and is it overwhelming
it aint religious based as you suggest and it aont political conservatism either it is the UNSCIENTIFIC data presented as facts you obviously haven't read the article links i offered below ... but that's ok ... |

peer reviewed lol

secong - it will be a good result if people switch to cleaner alternatives due to the tax on the dirty ones - that's exactly what we're after
thebas - when the world becomes a less polluted place i'm sure we'll be able to tell |

By:
lol it's the tax mate ... less pollution would be great ...
the tax is the lie ... the tax is the deception ... not the cleanliness of the air where will the money go ? ... and price trigger is meaningless ... if there isn't an immediate alternative ... price triggers only work when you have another product to switch to so it's a revenue grab ... and cyncially from the hardworking innocent taxpaying very backbone of our country ... |
|
By:
the money goes to
1 - compensation for individuals 2 - compensation for trade exposed industries 3 - to fund cleaner alternatives |
|
By:
not tangible enough ... sorry womble ... thats politico speak ...
but i know you're passionate in your way on this ... and so is afl ... but the debate on the proposed tax actions is not a done deal yet ... so disbelievers will continue with their sceptical voice ... until quelled by truthful & transparent govt disclosure ... or the presentation of verified data (facts) that has NOT YET come along (the current info cannot honestly be believed by me sorry) |
|
By:
What about imports?
The cheap alternative will be imports. Oh no, thats right, wombleoz says China are taking "action" on climate change ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ffs |
|
By:
JuLIAR has suggested all money will go to compensation, wombleoz.
I'd suggest your making up this nonsense as you go. Forget, The Greens, you'd make a good Labor MP. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
The closer you look the more fundmentally flawed it appears.
And Gillard Labor are "determined" to ram this through parliament and thrust this burden onto working families. The environmental benefits? None whatsoever. |
|
By:
Oh and wombleoz, where are you getting these "details" from, considering Gillard Labor have no released the detail behind this great big new tax on everything.
Uh oh...another credibility meltdown ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
Who needs facts or actual government detail when you've got an extreme Green socialist imagination
![]() Dear oh dear. |
|
By:
None whatsoever
pretty much as i see it too jez and ten years down the line ... little has changed ... ther'll be a new situation that govts will have come up with again ... and billions more stripped from the working families ... working families trying to pay a mortgage & educate their kids ... who have 'done their bit' honestly innocently & dilgently .... over the past 25 - 35 years to get a lifestyle they now have ... and then to be told they're GUILTY of ruining the planet ... what a world |
|
By:
And this carbon tax isn't capped at, for example, 10%.
It goes UP and UP and UP each and every year. It's alright thebas. I'm thinking when the US, China and India see our carbon tax system they'll want to jump straight onboard. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
same deal as with the CPRS - 3 way package, fair enough to wait and see though
how do you feel about Abbott promising to spend $30 billion over the next 10 years on Direct Action Thebas??? that's $30 billion taxpayers dollars btw |
|
By:
You get desperate, can't support your arguments, so you brazenly lie about the Opposition's policy, wombleoz.
It will cost $10.5 billion over 10 years. $3.2 billion over the first 4 years. It will be funded from EXISTING revenue and already identified budget savings Cut the lies wombleoz. Spare us the fibs, please. I know the policy, I know the details, I've read the document about 50 times over. Yes thats right, its a Direct Action Plan (with real results) and its a FULLY DETAILED policy. |
|
By:
fair question womble ... but i am not political ... i have bever mentioned labour per se (that i remember)... i only mention governments ... and if i have mentioned julia ... it is because she has said ... or more correctly not said ... something about the topic at hand
and i have never (also that i can remember lol) posted on any of the Political Threads that we have on the Forum (altho i do read them) so i will not take this global warming (phrase now admitted wrong by the HEAD HONCHO who wrote the treatise for the Un & IPCC) or Climate Change Scenario and Proposed Carbon Taxation (not one country has the same plan for the Tax lol) ... down a POLITICAL ROAD sorry mate i am awaiting verifiable FACTS and/or government truth and transparency on a PROPOSED TAX where the revenue from said TAX is to be used. |
|
By:
Its NOT a fair question thebas.
It's a bunch of lies from clearly, a desperate ideologue. His overstated the Coalition's policy by $20 billion to try and make a fundmentally flawed carbon dioxide tax look half-decent. I'm lost for words. The lowest of lows for wombleoz tonight. |
|
By:
Its NOT a fair question thebas
lol see i did not know that politically ![]() |
|
By:
Direct Action with real results, with a detailed plan, fully costed from existing revenue and budget savings. NO big NEW tax on everything.
versus A Carbon Dioxide Tax. A great big NEW tax on everything. Details unknown. Compensation speculative and maybe 100% of revenue will go to compensation. Will be rushed into legislation. Environmental impact: NIL. You decide. A big new tax or real action for a cleaner greener environment. |

b]It (the IPCC) is also losing the trust of more and more governments, who are no longer following their advice – as the Copenhagen Summit showed.” (Quoted from CCNet-News).[/b]
yet again the mis-representation of facts by the body (IPCC) that is running the agenda has been exposed http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/19084 (yes sceptics ... sceptics are not DISBELIEVERS OF EVERYTHING ... sceptics will only believe FACTS ... and a sceptic will change their mind when FACTS are provided ... ) so is our government taking a route that is NOT universally agreed upon ? ... YES !!!! the real question is ... WHY ??? (and it ain't got to do with the environment) |
|
By:
NO CARBON TAX RALLY
Tomorrow at MIDDAY, Parliament House, Canberra Be there, let your voice be heard. Tell JuLIAR what you think of this farcical and ineffectual BIG NEW tax on EVERYTHING. Bring it on ![]() |

impacts_of_climate_mitigation_measures _in_australia.html if these are the real impacts of australia co2 ... then WHY is our govt introducing a carbon tax if our govt is listening to the IPCC ... then the IPCC lied ... plenty of facts showing this (as the IPCC subsequently removed 'articles' from their reports - once they were pointed out false to them) so WHY is this happening ? pls julia ... truth and transparency ... and soon |
|
By:
I'm hearing you thebas.
It beggars belief. Plenty of suckers for this climate change nonsense. |
|
By:
Just like there was an $11 billion hole in the Liberals election promises there are major problems with their costings of Direct Action as well
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/abbott-carbon-plan-unworkable-20100315-q9oa.html Thebas - i'm happy that science is settled enough to know that doing something beats doing nothing - lucky you're not political because there isn't a party in Australia that doesn't agree |
|
By:
good luck tomorrow jez ... i know it is political for you ... tho it isn't for me ... but the cause in my mind is correct ... wtf is julia going to do to us if we don't question the science ... and ask & EXPECT for science facts
