Global warming - a myth to make money by scaring people. And this just proves it.

After the ALP and the liberals they polled the most vote's at the federal election,I would rather the greens have power then a bunch of right wing religious fundamentalists like "family first".

But I agree that if this a greens party policy they cant expect to be taken seriously.

there should be a tax on stupid ideas, every time you decide to open your mouth you sacrifice a testicle. more than 1 and you can no longer contribute to the gene pool.

Can anyone drop this idiot's name?
By the way, if we find out who it is we should look into his activities since he was born. I would be surprised if he is less consumptive than everyone else!!.....I bet he doesn't wipe his bum with gum leaves and does drive a six cylinder car.

Gives new meaning the statement by Peter Costello a couple years back with the baby bonus stuff when the government was saying we needed to have more kids, "have one kid for mum, one kid for dad and one kid for the treasurer".

Yeah mate, the same thing happened in NZ too 7 or 8 yrs back. And they even went as far as trying to TAX cattle because of there carbon dioxide emmisions!. A couple of major protests put an end to that, but they were dead serious and it was the GREENIES over there causing it all too.
