Title: The Greens "You can see it in the weather" Post by creep on Jun 19th, 2011 at 10:49am
Just saw the Greens advert about climate change, advocating that it is happening because "you can see it in the weather"
MMMMMMMMM, yes we can can't we. Is that why when we have cold days the global warmists change their tune to saying that cold days are weather and not climate? Yet when we have hot days then that is climate and not weather? Do the Greens know that our planet is actually cooling? Or are the Greens in denial about that too. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/02/19/january-2008-4-sources-say-globally-cooler-in-the-past-12-months/ More Co2 is needed not less! |

Well the greens are stupid we all know that, as are a lot of ALP supporters. A perfect example was shown above who claims that global cooling is referring to 2008. What the idiot failed to see was that was over a 100 year period. And then the idiotic footy wanted to compare a 100 years of data with a single year to prove global warming :D :D :D Yes as I said, we all know that the greens are stupid. |

So what's your answer? A tax that increases cost of living for everyone? |

The tax won't do that at all so you point is redundant. The evidence is quite clear, putting a price on carbon is BY FAR the cheapest way to reduce emissions. Why do you care, it's not like you live in this country. Shouldn't you be more concerned with California/Englands plans to price carbon? |

especially as a lot of the figures are based on long before electricity or industry was the vogue. I am a bit sick of hearing what happened millions of years ago or even 50 years if you like..I remember my parents putting a penny in the slot to use electricity...now we take it so much for granted we dont think about how much is used just to use a petrol pump we take it for granted.same with computers... I am waiting for the day someone tells us its computers that are our biggest problem.. next to cows of course. |

Pretty sure you haven't read the plans. The tax will be put on the supplier, who will pass it through the supply chain to the consumer - thus raising the prices. Thus raising the cost of living. The Government has already said those of us who earn over $150k will get no compensation. Is the plan to provide compensation every year for everyone else? No, don't think so. The carbon tax is a stupid idea. Kinda explains why Labor is polling the worst EVER as well. |

Andrei, you're posting to a denialist Wont matter about the facts northe logic, the footy has been kicked about the head so much it is incapable of cpmrehension. As I posted earlier, it wanted to compare one year to claim global warming with that of a hundred years of global cooling "Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on. No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down. " |

I've seen the economic modelling and the very small rise in the cost of living will be more than offset by compensation. Indeed, deregulation and infrastructure investment will increase electricity prices FAR more than the carbon tax will, electricity will be going up to $0.30 per kW/h in WA by 2014. Petrol prices fluctuate to a greater degree every week than what the carbon tax will add to the price. Plus, companies that do pass on costs will ALWAYS be undercut by a more competitive business that will find a way of providing the same service for less (ie. developing novel ways of reducing their carbon footprint), that's capitalism, baby! And individuals can find ways to reduce their carbon footprint and thereby reduce their cost of living. The smart will prosper, as always. |
Title: Re: The Greens "You can see it in the weather" Post by Andrei.Hicks on Jun 19th, 2011 at 11:55am
So what of those of us on over $150k per year?
We should just suck it and see our costs increase and get nothing? Oh if this is such a good idea - How come Labor and Julia Gillard in particular are polling the worst levels of support since opinion polling began? Why have their support dropped like a stone and they face certain defeat in an election? Good ideas tend to be popular you know..... |

Maybe if you were scientifically literate enough to read a graph you wouldn't conside rit "vague' no wonder you're a denier. If the ALP has one thing to thank itself for it is the lack of focus on scien education over the last 40 years. That one has REALLY come back to bite them on the arse. And that graph is actually from creeps denier source and supposedly shows 100 years of cooling. Where, creep? And where in that article does it say ANYTHING about 100 years of cooling? It's amazing just how stupid denies really are. They have absolutely NO clue what they are talking about ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Who are you to decide or say that? Particularly when the costs of living of this demographic will be increased by the decision of a Government tax,. When we lived in Australia our mortgage was $4,000 per month, our electricity and gas bills were well over $700 per quarter. We were looking at a cost of $10,000 in fees for our 3 year old to attend early learning prepatory school. We spent over $5,000 in trips to see family in Europe each year. There are many costs to living - it is not yours (or the Government's place) to tell us whether we can 'afford to spend more' for exactly the same things we get now. |

Yes, you made a choice to be mortgaged to hilt, have unnecessary private education and consuming a stupid amount of power. They're lifestyle CHOICES and if you can't live within your means then you need to make different choices. If you're spending $700 a quarter how ever many years ago that you lived in Australia (probably more like $800 or $900 in today's terms) then you're a fool and glutton and you NEED to be taxed to wake you up out your torpor. Use less electricity. There is no reason why a household should use 40 - 50 kW/h per day, if they find the bills hard to pay there would be no end of ways that you could reduce your consumption. Why should anyone else subsidise your LIFESTYLE CHOICES? |

There you go again - making wide sweeping assumptions without knowing any of the detail. Much like your idiotic claim that people in the middle bracket can 'afford to pay more'. We weren't mortgaged to the hilt. That was a $600k mortgage on a house worth over $1.3m - we paid well over $800k ourselves without the mortgage all up. We didn't 'waste' energy - that was the cost in 2006/7 to fuel the house and the various rooms. We actually (being a couple of accountants) budget very well but to have a Government tell us 'we can afford more' when there is actually no reason or additional benefit to us when we do - its arrogance. Yet they give money to others to pay this tax but not our demographic. Why?? Well, one could argue its the same old story, Labor (for reasons I am not sure) doesn't like the middle class of Australia and never has. |

Then what are you whining about? You expect others to subsidise your investment choices? Talk about sense of entitlement! ::) Quote:
If you can't afford the bills then you obviously bought too big a house. That is your CHOICE that YOU made. No one ASKED you to buy a house that was too big for you to afford the energy bills. Quote:
Are, so you're making all of this up. You didn't face ANY cost of living pressures? You made choice and lived within your means, you're just trying to score cheap political points that have no basis in reality? Quote:
Because anyone living in a $150k household neither requires nor deserves to be subsidised by the taxpayer. We live in a welfare state, we have a social compact that those who need assistance receive and those who don't help to pay for it.
