The Carbon Sense Coalition today called for an end to the massive subsidies
distorting all energy markets in the name of global warming.
 
The Chairman of "Carbon Sense", Mr Viv Forbes, said that if Julia Gillard
was honest in her support for a sustainable Australia, she should start
dismantling the five unsustainable industries created by climate subsidies. 
 
Forbes explained:
 
"Today's buzz word is "sustainable".
 
"A sustainable industry cannot rely on government subsidies, market mandates
or special deals. 
 
"Warmists and subsidy entrepreneurs have created five unsustainable
industries in gullible and guilt stricken western economies - carbon
sequestration, ethanol, solar/wind power, carbon forestry and the climate
change industry
 
"Carbon geo-sequestration is the idea that we can alter global temperature
by burying the carbon dioxide produced by industry. It is totally without
merit yet consumes billions of dollars from taxpayers and shareholders. 
 
"The production of ethanol motor fuel from food producing land may be
sustainable in some special circumstances, but has been bloated into obesity
by subsidies and mandates. It has also cut food production. It should be cut
loose to stand or fall in the open market.
 
"The next unsustainable industry created with bipartisan support is
solar/wind power. These energy sources are useful in certain circumstances
but generation of network electricity is not one of them. They should be
weaned off the subsidy teat. 
 
"Carbon credits and re-growth clearing bans are creating another parasitic
industry - the growth of carbon forests. These are also destroying food
production and will de-populate country towns but provide zero long term
effect on carbon dioxide levels.
 
"Finally, climate change regulation, research and summiteering has become a
mega-dollar, multi-national industry fed almost entirely on tax payer funds.

"Instead of government nannies lecturing us on which cars, light bulbs and
appliances to buy, they should relieve tax payers and consumers of the dead
weight of all five subsidy-sucking industries.
 
"All over the world, governments are waking up to the enormous cost and
questionable benefits from all the climate subsidies. Australia need not
repeat their costly mistakes.
 
"The sun is setting on the subsidy society."

Skeptical books - the trickle becomes a flood.

Green Hell: How Deep Greens Plan to Control your Life 
 
The central concept of this book is that there is hardly any area of your
life that the deep greens consider off-limits to intrusion. There is almost
no personal behaviour of yours that they consider too trivial or too
sacrosanct to regulate...

Do to Stop Them

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Hilarious
 
Zero Carbon Emissions by 2020 - prices for firewood and candles to boom.
 
The Green fairy visited Canberra in June 2010 to leave a detailed blueprint
for closing every coal and gas fired power station by 2020 - just 10 years
away. 

"The Zero Carbon Australia (ZCA) report is the culmination of 12 months of
pro bono work by engineers, scientists and postgraduate university students,
performing the research that no Australian government has been prepared to
undertake. The result is a truly innovative collaboration the likes of which
has never been seen before in Australia." 
 
(In fact powering an advanced industrial urban society on sunbeams and sea
breezes has never been seen anywhere in the world.)
 
So if you intend to vote Deep Green in this election, make sure you buy some
winter woollies and stock up on firewood and candles.

Emissions Trading Scheme reverses Global Warming in New Zealand.
 
New Zealand introduced an Emissions trading Scheme on 1st July 2010 to
combat global warming. 
 
It is working already. The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric
Research said the past few days had seen some of the lowest temperatures on
record. Air temperatures in Taumarunui, in the central North Island, dipped
to -6.8C this week, the coldest since records began in 1947. (This cooling
effect was so effective that temperatures in Longreach and Isisford in far
away Queensland dropped to the lowest since records began up to100 years
ago.)

However New Zealand temperatures rose again quickly as the New Zealand
Climate Change Minister found himself in hot water with NZ farmers:

New Danger - Sunset Change
 
For some time now scientists in Canberra have observed that sunsets have
been occurring earlier each evening. If this is allowed to go on unchecked,
we will soon be left in total darkness. We must act now. Full story at:

NASA's New Goal - better relations with the Muslim world.
 
Recently CSIRO decided that promoting global warming propaganda was one of
its new goals. 
 
NASA (the US organisation that once put man on the moon) has gone one better
- NASA chief Charles Bolden said in a recent interview (July 2010) that his
"foremost" mission is "to improve relations with the Muslim world". Bolden
said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among
the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said "better interaction with
the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel."
