Australian Carbon Tax Ad - The Way it should be

[grailchaser]

When are they going to give Steve Jobs back!? When!?

[MrGoblin60]

Hang on. According to Madam Mao we're all going to be better of under the carbon tax....aren't we?

[CRAZYASFUK1]

Yeah I can not grasp the idiocy of these working families worried about their livelihood. Probably just coalition voting red necks. Industry,who needs it? bloody right wing extremists.

[rustyrt]

Just type in GE exempt from carbon tax. Look for your self. I would like to see your source of information also I was at one stage on that side of the fence but having learned about the corruption that goes right to the top I just can't go along with it.

[rustyrt]

Its not a theory its a documented fact GE along with others, funded Obama's campaign. They didn't fund him for nothing they have an agenda which is to wipe out there competition and raise the price of electricity. Ever heard of a MONOPOLY.

[rustyrt]

what do plants breath CO2 what are the 3 requirements of life on earth carbon water heat. Is the climate meant to be stagnant? NO. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON AND ALL YOU TRENDIES JUST GO ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE YOUR TO SCARED TO ADMIT YOU'VE BEEN WRONG ALL THIS TIME. The green movement is a anti human movement.

[patrickwright1]

My god. Yes, plants use carbon dioxide. However, polluting the atmosphere with excessive quantities has the effect of increasing earth's temperature. The climate is far from stagnant, but there has been a rapid warming, beginning with industrialisation and increasing exponentially over the last fifty years. Every major scientific body endorses this position. If you are correct, please refer to the credible scientific body that supports your view, and the vast bulk of peer reviewed evidence.

[rustyrt]

@patrickwright1 I think you'll find that THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH by Al Gore was a load of droppings. CO2 increases after warming not before sorry. Face it. Its just an excuse for companies like GE to wipe out there competition. Further more if CO2 increases plant life will flourish and give off more oxygen. There are ice core samples that show CO2 at levels 13X greater than now.

[patrickwright1]

Your beliefs are based on early warming periods that were not explicitly caused by increases in CO2. I don't necessarily think GE is a great organisation, but I am not a conspiracy theorist. Increasing CO2 will only assist certain plants under controlled greenhouse environments- increasing CO2 in the atmosphere will increase the plants need for resources such as water and fertiliser. Increased CO2 will also decrease the rate of photosynthesis, will damage plants and reduce nutritional qualities.

[benjaminimum72]

@patrickwright1 @patrickwright1. Where else but atmospheric CO2 do you suppose a plant obtains carbon to construct it's xylem? elevated CO2 is observed to enable more rigorous plant growth & reduce water demand; no need for a controlled environment, just observe the incursions being made into the Sahara and document over time. Currently the atmosphere is CO2 depleted, no need to kill birds generating electricity inefficiently in a futile effort to make that worse & pay homage to 'the cause'.

[benjaminimum72]

@rustyrt no need to think, The Goreacle's laughable propaganda effort was banned from British schools for a very good reason (because it's bollocks).

[benjaminimum72]

@patrickwright1 The recent warming isn't rapid and began at the conclusion of the little ice age; nothing to see here, please move on! You seem to have exponential curves confused, since 1997, there has been no atmospheric or oceanic warming, indeed a cooling trend is evident. You're also committing the same error as all the believers, Science cares nothing about votes, only politics can be decide that way, science requires observation and your faith is not supported by observation old chum.

[benjaminimum72]

@patrickwright1 by credible you wouldn't be referring to the likes of IPeCaC and their beneficiaries at team 'hockey stick' would you? Chaps who are about as credible as our current minority watermelon government.

My meteorlogy professors understood this was a deeply flawed hypothesis as far back as the early ninties; perhaps because they weren't shrewd enough to abandon their scientific principles and climb aboard the gravy train?

[93224956]

Funny that this was also the entire Labor argument of the last century. XD

[russ9356]

the carbon tax is the best thing for the Libs,any of you Labor dickheads want to vote on the 2013 election

[MrPincoNico]

good to see the other side getting its voice out there. You 'd think with the amount of anti climate change retric out there. That Australians are just a bunch of red neck morons. As for jobs no environment no economy.

[TanoInMelb]

Yeah stupid workers, how dare they have concerns about their jobs & their families? What morons they are! Let's all mock them as they don't represent Labor values!

The only workers Labor is interested in are the ones whining about climate change, the rest can go and jump off a cliff.

[thepillow00]

@Mischelle999 Abbott a liar? ... the only reason this ad is around is because Julia lied...

[hartstarter]

What country are you people living in .We cant get tradies to service our business because all the companies are under staffed and when they do come they can name there price. The mines are sucking up all the talent and causing a two speed economy . They have us over a barrel and just walk past poking a finger up our ass.

[Mischelle999]

What's wrong Julia sexist phobes? Are you tough boys scared of strong women? Go Julia..Stand up strong and do the humane thing for ALL Australians who care. Abbott would have our beautiful country a haven for bigotry, sexism, homophobia and outright racism. I'm ashamed of the people you inspire with your ugly lies supported by the billionaire boys club & criminal neo con Murdoch press. Down with ugly sexist Tony Abbot & all the whining sexist boys who champion this LYING dog called Abbott.

[hYperion093]

@Mischelle999 but women aren't strong

[gulbirk]

They took ur jobs.

I gues its more important to have jobs today, then a society to live in tomorrow, :P

[unreal22000]

No there will be heaps of clean green jobs for everyone .......in China making clean green solar machines. But importers will be employed to unpack the stuff & send it out to half skilled, rush trained migrants to fit up because they work cheap! Bets yet the O/s company owners will make a good profit.

Yep I can see swaths of industrial land opening up here to design, manufacture & export clean green stuff! .......NOT

[BajaParts]

hahahahahahaha fall off chair

[gulbirk]

LOL.

[turboshagna]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[JezzaHeart]

I-CAN'T-STOP-LAUGHING!

[THEONLYPRINCESSS]

I've been thinking this every time I see this ad

[gazmeist]

Actually I hadn't seen that version - to be honest I like it better ... at least Im not the only one thinking it :P

You really shouldn't hurl accusations around like that though

[chessonmyshirt]

Hey can you not copy other peoples work without credit.
