Sadly, following the example of our dear leader, lying is becoming an art form in our over-governed country as the power freaks seek to add even more layers of taxation and regulation over our lives.

Even photographic images are manipulated to hide the truth and promote the lie.

Every time the new carbon tax is mentioned on ABC and SBS television, the word dioxide is as invisible as the gas itself.

But what is visible, and which looms large in the background to every story, are billowing white clouds coming from the towers.

But carbon dioxide is invisible. So all we can see must be smoke or water vapour, neither of which comprise the dreaded carbon dioxide.

In the news following the PM’s courageous attempt to maintain her steady-as-she-sinks course, a brief glimpse of Australia’s dirtiest power station, Loy Yang, showed the station’s magnificent smoke stacks in all their glory, but not a sign of any smoke. So the next close-up was carefully framed to show only the chimneys to the top of the structures – can’t have people asking why there were no visible emissions.

The only people supporting a carbon (dioxide) tax must be the lounge lizards glued to the deceptive images on their screens. They should walk out into the fresh air and hop on their bikes to visit these unfairly maligned energy supply installations and take note of the clear skies above and the verdant foliage flourishing and feeding from the abundant carbon dioxide plant food which is emitted from these wonderful structures.

ROY MORGAN WEEKLY CONSUMER CONFIDENCE DROPS 2.5PTS TO 108.0 AFTER PM GILLARD ANNOUNCES CARBON TAX DETAILS

In mid July Consumer Confidence was 108.0pts (down 2.5pts in a week) according to the Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating conducted on the weekend after Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced details of the Carbon Tax – July 16/17, 2011. Consumer Confidence is now 15pts lower than a year ago, July 17/18, 2010 (123.0).

Here is what the public is thinking:

Back in the 1970’s the Climate Scare was all about Global Cooling. Naturally it was all caused by wicked man’s industry and his pollution of the atmosphere. There was a consensus.

But the temperature trends changed, so the alarmists changed. Even the same people who figured prominently in the Global Cooling Scare later became leaders of the Global Warming Scare. We are again told there is a consensus.

Bad science is made by consensus. Good science is made by critical analysis of facts. Analysis of facts suggests that global cooling is probably more likely than global warming. Facts also suggest that humans have very little effect on climate trends.

Pretend you were determined to embark on a crash program to increase the price of electricity in order to deter consumers and businesses from using it. Here is a five point plan for achieving that sort of destruction:

First, pay millions in compensation to force closure of reliable coal fired power stations producing cheap electricity.

Second, spend millions more in subsidies to bribe promoters to erect forests of imported wind turbines that produce no electricity for 75% of the time. Then pay again to have them switched off when the wind is too strong or if they produce more power than the network needs at that time.

Third, spend more millions to build a spider web of roads and transmission lines to connect every single turbine to the national grid. These costly facilities are only used for 25% of the time.

Fourth, spend yet more millions to build new gas fired backup generators to keep the lights on when the wind stops. Then pay again to switch off the gas any time the wind happens to blow at the right speed for the turbines.

Finally, force any remaining coal or gas power stations to buy carbon ration permits from merchant banks.

Climate will still change no matter how many wind temples we build to the Global Warming god.

When we have pauperised ourselves by wasting our savings to inflict unreliable high cost electricity on our industries and our people, we will have no resources left to cope with the inevitable natural disasters that will still occur.

This five point plan is what passes for rational energy policy from the Green/Labor Coalition now in control of the Australian Parliament.

Australia’s Climate Commissioner believes we must move towards a global ant’s nest, regulated by a global intelligence, and sharing all resources equally. In this world there will be no room for individual choice, individuals will have their specialised roles defined and limited and world population will be massively reduced.

I recently received a letter in the mail with this message printed across the bottom in big black letters:

”CARBON IS A BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE! NOT A POLLUTANT”

Naturally I opened it with interest. The letter inside read:

Dear Viv Forbes and the Carbon Sense People,

Thank God the Australian public is slowly wising up to the almost laughable premise of global warming and carbon ‘pollution’.

I tell anyone who will listen that ice ages and periods of melt are cyclic. How did the aboriginals reach Tasmania? They walked. They certainly didn’t take a ferry! Sea levels were low then. Anyone trying to stop sea levels from rising will have about as much success as King Canute.

All my correspondence will go out with this, or a similar message on the envelope:

“CARBON IS A BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE! NOT A POLLUTANT”

This may be a way to get the facts out to a few more people.

I read all your emails with a great deal of interest.

Sincerely yours,
A.B.
Forest Lake, Brisbane, Qld, Australia.

“I think The Australian’s support of the carbon dioxide tax on the basis of the so-called precautionary principle and on the primacy of market solutions misses the point. This is not a real market but an artificial construct concocted by bureaucrats and academics to be rorted by merchant bankers.”
