Climategate

"Carbon (Dioxide) trading is now the fastest growing commodities market on earth.....And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon (dioxide) market is based on lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around creating carbon (dioxide) credits, or finding carbon (dioxide) reduction projects whose benefits can then be sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible."

This blog has been tracking the 'Global Warming Scam' for over ten years now. There are a very large number of articles being published in blogs and more in the MSM who are waking up to the fact the public refuse to be conned any more and are objecting to the 'green madness' of governments and the artificially high price of energy. This blog will now be concentrating on the major stories as we move to the pragmatic view of 'not if, but when' and how the situation is managed back to reality. To quote Professor Lindzen, "a lot of people are going to look pretty silly"

With Elections Near, Australia's Rudd Backs Off Ambitious Carbon Trading Plan

Time
"In the last three years, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has often used his podium to talk to the nation about climate change. He has called it "the great moral and economic issue challenge of our time," comparing global warming skeptics to gamblers who "happily play with our children's future." .....In fact, Rudd's firm views on global warming helped push him to victory in the national 2007 elections....But that was then. Last week, in what Australian news website newmatilda.com quickly dubbed the "great moral back flip of our time," Rudd announced he was shelving ETS — at least until 2013. ....Cynics, however, have said that the move was a tactical one. A federal election is due to take place this year, and polls were showing that Australians had lost interest in climate change. Tony Abbott, leader of the opposition Liberal Party, tagged the ETS as a "great big new tax on everything" and the label stuck.
