Senator Bob Brown insists all coal driven power stations should be closed by 2020.

I would suggest that the public be given an opportunity to see what it is like to be without those power stations, say for one day a week, every week, for say, a year.

As power stations cannot be switched on and off like lights in a home, it will be cheaper and better for the operators to simply cut off the power for 24 hours once a week.

Power stations will be compensated for their financial losses by the Greens, the Labor party and those true believers in the Liberal party.

This will give the public some basis on which to make judgments.

When the power goes off, there will be:

* No trains.
* No airline operations.
* No shops open.
* No food available.
* No coffee shops.
* No paper shop.
* No radio and or television transmission.
* No air conditioning.
* No electric blankets in winter.
* No refrigeration.
* No washing machines.
* No electrical appliance systems at all.
* No electronic communications systems.
* No sporting events.
* No 000 calls.
* No ambulance.
* No Fire Brigade.
* No medical operations.
* No X-rays.

I have been wondering whether the public would stand this for a year; especially over a non-existent problem. If Senator Brown gets his way they will have to endure it for ever.

Apart from hydro power, coal driven power is still the cheapest source of reliable power on earth.

Environmental activists and green academics in Western Australia are pushing the government to make radical changes to bushfire policy and operations. In place of the current approach, which integrates pre-fire mitigation with post-fire response, the activists are pushing for “response only”, otherwise known as ‘the Aunt Dolly Bushfire System’.

Specifically, they want the government to abandon the program of mild-intensity prescribed burning, a strategy aimed at reducing fuel levels in a mosaic pattern across south-west forests so as to make it easier, safer and cheaper to control fires under the worst case scenario situation.

THE CARBON TAX
By Cliff Ollier

Hurrah, Hurrah the Carbon Tax
Just pay up and then relax.

We’ll stop warming, have no fears,
(Maybe take a thousand years).
Like Canute we’ll stop the waves.
Make sure that the sea behaves.

Hurrah, Hurrah the Carbon Tax
Just pay up and then relax.

Drought and floods will all be gone
(Miss Mackellar please move on).
Cyclones, bushfires, locusts, pests,
Carbon Tax will put to rest.

Hurrah, Hurrah the Carbon Tax
Just pay up and then relax.

Carbon’s nasty, so they say
(scientists, within our pay)
So we tax it through the nose
Don’t ask where the money goes.

Ministers for this and that,
Lots and lots of bureaucrats
Wish to use the Carbon Tax,
So pay up, and just relax.

Hurrah, Hurrah the Carbon Tax
Just pay up and then relax.

All the horrors we endure
Carbon Tax is sure to cure.
We will fix them, bye and bye,
Were we ever known to lie?

Notes for Non-Australians.

Our government proposes to introduce a Carbon Tax, after promising it would not do so at the last election.

Canute was a king (around AD 1000) who commanded the tide to stop rising.

Dorothea McKellar wrote (1904) a great iconic poem about Australia that includes:

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.

The Editor,

Currently 99.96% of the atmosphere is made up of the non-carbon dioxide components.

If we don’t mend our ways, by 2050 that number will plunge all the way down to 99.94%.

Love your stuff.

There are many reasons why Error 3194 While Restoring Ipod 3g happen, including having malware, spyware, or projects not introducing appropriately. You can have a wide range of framework clashes, registry mistakes, and Active X blunders. Reimage spends significant time in Windows repair. It sweeps and judgments, at that point repairs, your harmed PC with innovation that fixes your Windows Operating System, as well as turns around the harm effectively finished with a full database of substitution documents.

A FREE Scan (approx. 5 minutes) into your PC’s Windows Operating System recognizes issues partitioned into 3 classifications – Hardware, Security and Stability. Toward the finish of the output, you can audit your PC’s Hardware, Security and Stability in examination with an overall normal. You can audit a rundown of the issues recognized amid your output. Will Reimage settle my Fix Error 3194 in iTunes While Restoring Ipod 3g issue? There’s no real way to tell without running the program. The condition of individuals’ PCs shifts fiercely, contingent upon the distinctive specs and programming they’re running, so regardless of whether reimage could settle Error 3194 While Restoring Ipod 3g on one machine doesn’t really mean it will settle it on all machines. Gratefully it just takes minutes to run a sweep and see what issues Reimage can distinguish and settle.

Windows Errors

A Windows mistake is a blunder that happens when an unforeseen condition happens or when a coveted operation has fizzled. When you have a mistake in Windows, it might be basic and make your projects stop and crash or it might be apparently innocuous yet irritating.

Blue Screen of Death

A stop blunder screen or bug check screen, usually called a blue screen of death (otherwise called a BSoD, bluescreen), is caused by a deadly framework mistake and is the mistake screen showed by the Microsoft Windows group of working frameworks after experiencing a basic mistake, of a non-recoverable nature, that makes the framework “crash”.

Harmed DLLs

One of the greatest reasons for DLL’s getting to be plainly degenerate/harmed is the act of always introducing and uninstalling programs. This frequently implies DLL’s will get overwritten by fresher variants when another program is introduced, for instance. This causes issues for those applications and projects that still need the old variant to work. Along these lines, the program starts to glitch and crash.

Solidifying Computer

PC hanging or solidifying happens when either a program or the entire framework stops to react to inputs. In the most usually experienced situation, a program stops and all windows having a place with the solidified program end up noticeably static. Quite often, the best way to recuperate from a framework solidify is to reboot the machine, for the most part by control cycling with an on/off or reset catch.

Infection Damage

Once your PC has been contaminated with an infection, it’s never again the same. In the wake of evacuating it with your hostile to infection programming, you’re regularly left with waiting reactions. In fact, your PC may never again be contaminated, however that doesn’t mean it’s sans blunder. Indeed, even just expelling an infection can really hurt your framework.

Working System Recovery

Reimage repairs and replaces every single basic Window framework records expected to run and restart accurately, without hurting your client information. Reimage additionally reestablishes traded off framework settings and registry esteems to their default Microsoft settings. You may dependably restore your framework to its pre-repair condition.

Grasslands and arable land cover just 10% of Earth’s surface but (with the oceans) they produce all of our food and fibre. But the productivity and health of our grasslands, farms and livestock are under threat from global warming alarmists and green preservationists.

We are afflicted by climate crazies and methane madness. It is poor public policy that condones restrictions on grazing operations, or taxes on grazing animals, based on disputed theories that claim that bodily emissions from farm animals will cause dangerous global warming.

New Zealand was the first cattle country to propose a “livestock fart tax”. Four hundred farmers then drove 20 tractors to the Parliament in Wellington waving placards and banners saying “STOP THE FART TAX”. The proposal was laughed out of Parliament. But the war on farmers and livestock continues.

Carbon is the essential building block for all living things.

But life cannot exist without energy.

The primary energy of the solar system is nuclear energy – it powers the sun which floods the Earth with solar radiation; other nuclear reactions release heat deep within the planet. But solar energy alone cannot create or sustain life.

Earth’s primeval atmosphere had three natural gases that contained the essential ingredients for the first plant life – carbon dioxide, the food for plants; water, the drink for plants; and ammonia, which probably supported the first primitive life forms. It also had methane, the first natural (non-fossil) hydro-carbon fuel. Ancient atmospheres had far more methane and carbon dioxide than is present today (but no runaway global warming).

Life emerged in water when primitive plants using solar energy and the magic of photosynthesis took carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to create sugars, fats and proteins in their leaves, stems, roots, seeds and fruits. Their exhaust product was another natural gas – oxygen.

Millions of years passed, and slowly the plants consumed carbon dioxide and added oxygen to the atmosphere.

Primitive animals then evolved; they used oxygen to extract carbon energy stored in plants. They consumed these carbon fuels and exhausted carbon dioxide. Life is truly a carbon equation.

Carbon fuels such as wood, biomass, coal and oil are essentially preserved organic materials that store solar energy. When burnt in air they release stored energy and exhaust the same valuable by-product – carbon dioxide.

The human race depends totally on carbon based foods that are derived from the gas of life, carbon dioxide, plus nitrogen, minerals and water. And since the invention of engines, humans have come to depend on reliable, efficient, energy-dense, portable carbon fuels to grow, harvest, transport, refrigerate, process, distribute and cook food. The exhaust product from all of these engines is an important stimulant to the growth of all plants.

Without carbon dioxide, no life would exist. And without carbon fuels, modern cities would starve within weeks.

A tax on carbon is thus a tax on life.

If it’s hot – that’s dangerous global warming.

If it’s cold – that just weather.

When there was deep snow over all the UK, record cold in Europe and Russia, and blizzards in the USA last winter, we were told “That’s not climate, that’s weather!”

Now after a 15 year period of flat or declining global temperatures, when we get a hot spell we are told “That’s not weather, that’s climate!”.

I’m not buying it, guys.

As for the heatwave and fires in Colorado, that is just bad weather and poor forest management. The wildfires are helped by a policy of not back-burning the forests to reduce fuel loadings, and by the idiocy of building housing among the trees without fire breaks between the two.

Don’t try to lay the blame for this on harmless, beneficial to plants, non-pollutant carbon dioxide.

If Rio didn’t give you the message then you are blind – Rio was the funeral rite for the busted hypothesis that was called anthropogenic global warming. Your theory is flawed, your cause is lost, and your god is dead: global warming is now a religion, not science. The IPCC computer models are known to have zero predictive power: nothing they predicted has come to pass. Temperatures are not rising, nor are the seas.

Your prophet Al Gore has led you to a desert of failed ideologies. You may fool the politicians for a few more budgets, but the common people are on to you.

My advice: Jump from this bandwagon before it plummets off the cliff!

Controlling Climate and Global Wealth Redistribution – a costly agenda indeed!

2015 was a very big year for the global problem solvers at the UN. In September Australia’s former Foreign minister, Julie Bishop, signed the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, and in December the UN conducted the Paris climate change conference, which was later signed by Australia’s Environment Minister, Greg Hunt. Earlier, in July the same year, Australia participated in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda to discuss ways of financing the UN’s exceedingly costly agenda.

The first part of this agenda, namely, controlling the climate, is extremely costly in itself, and the folks at the UN tell us they need much more of our money to turn down the heat. But they also need more of our money to pay the ‘climate debt’ to compensate socialist and theocratic countries, which seem to be selectively targeted by our ‘damaging’ CO2 emissions, or so the story goes.

However, the really big dollars are needed to implement Julie Bishop’s 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. For this agenda the UN needs a further $6 trillion annually so we can all be compelled to manage our properties and lifestyles correctly and meet the UN’s ‘sustainability’ requirements. And under SDG 4.7 the UN seeks to teach our children, through global citizenship education, that only the UN can ‘solve’ problems which the UN defines as ‘global’ problems. So called ‘climate change’ is ‘global problem’ SDG 13. The $6 trillion figure is expected to blow out considerably as fixing the climate and ensuring the sustainability of the earth, and educating children to believe all this, is a costly business indeed. No wonder virtually all government departments are devoted to helping the UN. (more…)
