“The climate change debate is forever shifting as science casts long shadows of doubt on the predictions of global catastrophe. The debate gathered a world-wide audience when climate alarmists gained control of the climate science agenda. Its popularisation has given it a political momentum that is proving difficult to halt.”

The Carbon Sense Coalition today called on all farmers and those who eat farm products to raise their voices in opposition to the silly proposals of Australian and New Zealand governments to include emissions and motions from farm animals as a taxable carbon emission.

The chairman of “Carbon Sense” Mr Viv Forbes, claimed that New Zealand has already agreed to include farm animal emissions in their taxable emissions output and Prof Garnaut is also thinking of driving Australian farmers to the Kyoto bail for a similar milching.

The Carbon Sense Coalition today called for an end to all government promotion and subsidies for the domestic production of ethanol.

The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that all taxpayers, all consumers of food and most farmers will be harmed by the creation of an artificial industry producing subsidised ethanol.

“Subsidising the production of ethanol will waste taxes, harm the environment, cause sharply increased costs for everyone in the food chain, and do nothing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions or air pollution.

On Monday 13 August 2007, the House Standing Committee on Science and
Innovation tabled its report on the inquiry into Geosequestration Technology
entitled Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

Dr Dennis Jensen MP, Hon Jackie Kelly MP, Hon Danna Vale MP, Mr David
Tollner MP have written a dissenting report:

“We do not believe the evidence unequivocally supports the hypothesis of
anthropogenic global warming (AGW)
“1.1 We dissent from some of the statements made in the report “Between a
Rock and a Hard Place” by the Standing Committee on Science and Innovation
on its investigation into the Geosequestration of Carbon Dioxide.
“1.2 We disagree with the report’s unequivocal support for the hypothesis
that global warming is caused by man-so-called anthropogenic global warming
(AGW).”

The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that all government efforts to stop global warming and cut carbon dioxide emissions were anti-life and against the interests of mankind.

The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that this generation of foolish politicians are the first in history to complain about the beneficial effects that have always accompanied the periodic but short warm eras that punctuate earth’s history.

“The human story is intimately tied to the grand cycles of climate and the Chicken Littles should study these before squawking.

The accompanying paper, Climate Change is Nothing New [PDF, 1.2MB], was published in the March 2007 issue of the journal, New Concepts in Global Tectonics (http://www.ncgt.org/).

I was invited to prepare the paper by the Editor as a scientific response to the IPCC report, Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policy Makers, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, February 2007. The paper can also be regarded as a response to the movie by Al Gore, and to the report on carbon trading by the London financier, Sir Nicholas Stern.

The key points of the paper are:-

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 facts above are the basis of the carbon dioxide scam. To understand the psychological origin, read “The Crowd” by Gustave Le Bon. The English translation has not been out of print since 1960. [However, there is an on-line version: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/445 -Editor]

ABA Chairman, Brad Bellinger said, “The ABA Board had met last week and decided to oppose any form of Emissions Trading. He said that the Australian Government will be acting like speculative fools, if it goes down a path of trading something that cannot be accurately measured.”

WASHINGTON – President Obama has frequently cited Denmark as an example to be followed in the field of wind power generation, stating on several occasions that the Danes satisfy “20 percent of their electricity through wind power.” The findings of a new study released this week cast serious doubt on the accuracy of that statement. The report finds that in 2006 scarcely five percent of the nation’s electricity demand was met by wind. And over the past five years, the average is less than 10 percent — despite Denmark having ‘carpeted’ its land with the machines.
