The former U.S. vice president, Al Gore, is now urging civil disobedience to stop coal plants. He told a New York audience recently, “If you’re a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration.”

Government Climate Change policies will depopulate the bush and corporatise agriculture.
The city investor gets a tax break to buy up family farms from struggling farmers and plant
forests as carbon sinks. The family farmer is told they will be slugged with a ‘tax’ for their
emissions from stock (methane), fertilisers (nitrous oxide) and fuels (carbon dioxide), and at
the same time, denied the right to trade the carbon they can capture in their soils.

When my youngest son Russell was eight years old, in 1967, his grade school
teacher asked the students in his class to invite their fathers to visit the class, and to talk
about their work. So Russell invited me. I told him that I could talk about science and
research, but that it was too much to cover in just one period. What area did he want me
to talk about, I asked. He answered: “Oh… uh… just talk about ideas”. There are lots of
ideas in science I replied. “OK” he said, “so talk about the most important idea in
science”. So I agreed. Fortunately, I had a whole week to decide on what the most
important idea of science really was. After much thought, I decided that it was the idea
of energy, and that’s what I talked about… the various kinds of energy and how they
could be transformed form one form to another.

Last year Lehman Brothers released a report about climate change. High profits from the Kyoto carbon trade scheme was the essence of it. It met with the applause of politicians, the entire media and the greens. PM Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull were very keen on it and remain so.

Lehmans predicted the climate 100 years ahead. Green militants have been using the Lehman report as a proof of global warming and impending chaos.

Lehmans scientific advisor is James Hansen, Al Gore’s scientific adviser.

The report is driving climate change policy in Europe, Argentina and several other countries; it is used by economy professors playing being climatologists; by newspapers editorials and essays and even by a U. S. State Secretary.

But Lehmans couldn’t even predict their own demise less than a month ahead, though there were many people that had been warning about this present crash for years.

Lehman’s failure provides a preview of our future if more nations and companies bank their future on the speculative advice of these advocacy scientists, politicians and environmental groups, while ignoring common sense.

If we let them, our politicians will drive the nation to bankruptcy, using the policies that have destroyed Lehmans.

China and India have been and remain much more sensible.

The Carbon Sense Coalition submission in response to the Government Green Paper on The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is here in full [PDF, 70 KB].

The recommendations are:

1. Abandon attempts to get global or national support for an Emissions Trading Scheme or any other carbon emissions reduction strategy.
2. Do not introduce ETS by stealth, by legislating for the whole reporting and compliance structure but with so many tax exemptions and compensations that most people do not notice the change. Once it is in place, and no matter what is promised, the Emissions Tax burden will rise, no matter what the Climate
   does.
3. Accept “adapting to climate change” as the sole leg of Australia’s Climate Policy.
4. Support policies that allow markets to ration scarce resources.
5. Apply policies that impose costs and deterrents on real polluters.

“Knowing and understanding the past is a vital key to the future, and earth scientists can present much of this information in a context that can assist in exposing the truth and misrepresentations of the current “Climate Change” debate.

“It is fact that the vast bulk of the Great Barrier Reef area was exposed land and above sea level, prior to 10,000 years ago, when sea levels were over 70m lower than present. There was no great coral reef there until recently, and Kakadu was probably not a swampy wetland then either.”

“Australian state and federal governments are today pursuing plans that must
produce high prices for electricity and gas, electricity blackouts and high risks to
petrol and diesel supplies.

“Every proposed government energy policy seems designed to create long term
energy chaos for Australians. Three foolish policies stand out…”

“‘Global Warming’ is, and always was, a policy for genocidal reduction of the world’s population. The preposterous claim that human-produced carbon dioxide will broil the Earth, melt the ice caps, and destroy human life, came out of a 1975 conference in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, organized by the influential anthropologist Margaret Mead, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in 1974.”
