dont know if any one has posted this,is so sorry,jesus labor know how to stuff this country up
ETS is another tax. It is equal to putting up the GST to 125% which would produce an outcry. Read the following analogy and you will realize the insignificance of carbon dioxide as a weather controller. Here's a practical way to understand Mr. Rudd's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere and we want to get rid of the carbon pollution in it created by human activity. Let's go for a walk along it. The first 770 metres are Nitrogen. The next 210 metres are Oxygen. That's 980 metres of the 1 kilometre. 20 metres to go. The next 10 metres are water vapour. 10 metres left. 9 metres are argon. Just 1 more metre. A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre. The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre - that's carbon dioxide. A bit over one foot. 97% of that is produced by Mother Nature. It’s natural. Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left. Just over a centimetre - about half an inch. That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere. And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre. Less than the thickness of a hair. Out of a kilometer! As a hair is to a kilometer - so is Australia's contribution to what Mr. Rudd calls Carbon Pollution. Imagine Brisbane's new Gateway Bridge, ready to be opened by Mr. Rudd. It's been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometer length is surgically clean. Except that Mr. Rudd says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted - there's a human hair on the roadway. We'd laugh ourselves silly. There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about. It's hard to imagine that Australia's contribution to carbon dioxide in the world's atmosphere is one of the more pressing ones. And I can't believe that a new tax on everything is the only way to blow that pesky hair away. Pass this on quickly while the ETS is being debated in Federal Parliament.

Sarah Palin has been unfairly misquoted, quoted out of context, and generally made to look a whole lot more stupid by the media than she really is. I don't deny that she's made a few mistakes, and perhaps said and done a few stupid things, but I think the media has just blown it out of proportion. If you actually read about her, you'll see that she's a real battler, she's had a really hard time getting to where she has and she certainly wouldn't have got to the position she is currently if she was actually stupid.
Be fair, judge her on her merits, and don't dismiss everything she has to say on an (most probably) incorrect perception. I thought that her arguments in the article were great, and it shows she's not a sheep or a politician with an agenda. We need more politicians like her to stand up or we will never have a chance to stop the ETS. |

As for the article, it's a bunch of right wing rhetoric, without substance. If people want to challenge the concept of man made climate change, I'm all for it, it should be rigourously challenged. She is trying to discredit them on a personal level. |
