"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"

Carbon tax advertising campaign faces audit

The Australian
"THE Auditor-General will investigate Julia Gillard's $12 million carbon tax advertising campaign and its claims the tax will apply to only 500 companies and that nine out of 10 households will be compensated for price rises.

In a letter to Tony Abbott, Auditor-General Ian McPhee has agreed to include the carbon tax ad campaign in a broad Australian National Audit Office probe into campaign advertising that had already begun. The audit follows a request by the Opposition Leader last month for a probe after he alleged the government's claims about the number of companies that would pay the tax and the household compensation had not been adequately verified.

Under the government's advertising rules, an Independent Communications Committee vets taxpayer-funded ads. The guidelines state "where information is presented as a fact, it should be accurate and verifiable". Mr Abbott said there were a range of misleading claims in the material, particularly the claim that it would apply to only 500 companies and that nine out of 10 households would be compensated for the carbon tax."
