Liberals spend nothing they cut costs they ruin everything to save money for a rainy day apparently the rainy day never eventuates schools are run down so are hospitals the roads are fucked poor people are drowning in the sea because of there tough stance on killing inocent people in life rafts - Put Tony Abbott and Hitler Photos side by side the only diferance I can see is Hitler has a much bigger cock
@Niobium2000 Bolt is a liberal thug a propagander terrorist that works for not saving the planet but saving his and his personal m8's bank balances cunts like him and you scream your the tax payeris being abused - well I bet I paid more tax than you last year Cuntox - SO now I am going to have a sook and a sulk about how my tax dollar is being spent just like you liberals do 24/7
I want my tax dollar to go towards a roads and Hospitals Neglected by every liberal Goverment
Well it looks like bolt will the next leader of the liberals, but maybe not he would be getting more money doing what he is now , and i dont think he would stand a chance against Julia or anyone else for that matter, especially if it was an open debate this person is Toxic bad news for government ,both sides he is eroding common respect in general ,
we are all going to die so who gives a fuck - I am more concerned about that smug arsehole who used the blue shell on me in Mario kart 7 online when I was coming first I ended up coming 4th you prick
@jared4611 you'd do well in the Republican party, except I'd think you've got a bit too much cognitive dissonance going on even for them to cope with. Do you know anything about climate science at all? Well I do, since it's part of my major. And I can tell you, as someone who is a scientist and not some left-wing authoritarian, that this carbon tax will be damaging and do nothing whatsoever to offset AGW. You see, here's the funny thing about atmospheric CO2: it's ubiquitous, and we produce 0.7%
@fpsBeaTt You're a student, and a pretty crappy one at that. The carbon tax is to influence other economies and countries to take the same action. Did you know that cigarette packaging has also influenced other countries to look into the same matter and do the same? Of course we don't emit a lot, to say that we do when we consist of 0.003% of the world population is ludicrous. Except you're too ignorant to think that the population believes our tax will make a direct difference.
@fpsBeaTt And the arguments presented by Bolt are the cheapest shots you could ever make. You know that the Howard government promised that GST won't go ahead, yet, where are we now? I'd rather live with a carbon tax than WorkChoices. And no, if you knew anything about simple economics a carbon tax will not shoot down the economy. Companies work by using marginal costs and will still hire people regardless to get the best out of their available resources.
@fpsBeaTt Better yet, simple microeconomics states that people will move into other industries if profit shoots down in another industry, so now instead of having a bunch of crappy coal companies hiring people, we'll have people working in industries that will innovate and improve the growth of the economy. From coal miners to proper engineers working and developing the economy. Learn a bit about business and economics before stating a few climate change facts.
@fpsBeaTt AND the tax money is invested into the economy by the government, not kept by greedy billionaire fat asses who don't know what to do with the money in the first place. Capitalist right wing free market ideologies put countries into the GFC remember?
DOWN WITH RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA CHANELL 10 &THEIR RACIST ANDREW BOLT SHOW. .TURN OFF CHANELL TEN &THEIR LIES & CORRUPTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE!! DOWN WITH THEIR MORONIC BRAIN WASHING NIGHTLY NEWZZ & ALL THE BIMBOS WHO SAIL IN HER! DOWN WITH GINA RINEHART & THE IDIOTIC PRESENTERS PAID BIG MONEY TO DISTORT THE TRUTH & LIE TO VULNERABLE STUPID VOTERS. I HATE YOU CHANELL TEN.YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO JOURNALISM IN AUSTRALIA & I HOPE THAT GOOD OZZIES WILL WAKE UP TO YOUR LYING PROPAGANDA & HATE
its not about climate change it is about the tight arses dont want to pay the tax - it is as simple as that - there totaly wrong and they know it - Andrew Bolts face will turn blue like a stamping child who cant get his own way - BTW I got free pink batts and my house is cool as - no fires here - thanks to Julia and Midnight oil - and thx Kev for the $900 - if we were under the tightarses rule we would of got nothing - there share holders would of got every thing
@Lost Some of those "tight arses" you refer to are ordinary people who will suffer greatly under this regressive tax. And Bolt is not the one having the tantrum...look at yourself.
1:05 to 1:09. This is a classic cherry pick and quote mine. This is not what Flannery said at all. For a full transcript of what he said go to abc(dot)net(dot)au/landline/content/2006/s1844398.htm Unfortunately, the simple minds who lack the ability to think critically, lap up the dishonesty, not to mention the scientific illiteracy of half-baked morons like Bolt and he knows his audience.
Seems like there is not enough CO2 pollution, as there are too many numbnuts commenting here. We need more pollution to kill the anti pollution lobbyists off. Do us all a favor those that are for a Carbon Tax, that is to turn off your T.V's, don't use cars, electricity or gas... But most importantly don't BOTHER typing comments on computers, as you are making TOO much of a CARBON footprint, maybe we all can have some peace from your anti carbon drivel. If not for carbon, you would not be here.
Thanks goodness there is someone going against the grain on TV and representing the other side of the argument. I'm rather sick of the propaganda and bias in the media on this topic.
@alphaaerios You say "I'm rather sick of the propaganda and bias in the media on this topic."
What the hell do you think Andrew Bolt is peddling? All he has is propaganda and bias. Perhaps a better comment from you would have been ," I'm rather sick of the propaganda and bias in the media on this topic, so I'm going to watch Andrew Bolt because his propaganda and bias is more aligned with my own right wing nutjob views." Fair dinkum mate, the irony in your post was immense.
@alphaaerios I do. I weep for this country's future. The astounding lack of intellect is never more obvious than when it displayed by people idolising pseudointellectuals like Bolt.
@MultiThoughtCriminal You would consider me a liberal yet I agree with much you just said. George Bush introduced the patriot act yet you would not call him a liberal for diminishing freedoms. It seems to me that true conservatism is built on western Christian philosophy. Which is why you correctly pointed to Islam but not mention Christianity, an equally depraved philosophy. Issues should be discussed individually with reason and science without the prejudice of "isms" or religions.
I can understand why Christians are conservative. They believe in Santa Claus. But I think Bolt is secular. A secular conservative, now that's a rare beast.
@MultiThoughtCriminal If you consider yourself conservative could you please tell me what a conservative is? I have no idea. If you look at American and Australian varieties they seem to be mostly dumb Christians. People who are willing to believe in things without any evidence whatsoever. Is it the same in the UK?
YOU ARE A DUMB BITCH BOLT, pretty sure you took almost everyone out of context then. In the long run, Aust will be drier, probably thanks to people like you.
Take small snippets of video, take them out of context and make misleading conclusions. This is one the generic methods for misleading the population. You can make people say almost anything. It can even be used for comedic effect, like in the pauline pantsdown videos.
This really is turning into a religion, a whole bunch of stupid people blindly following an ideology despite having strong evidence to the contrary, if all you left wing nutjobs are so concerned about carbon dioxide, do us all a favour, simply stop breathing.
@spider111111 ummm strong evidence? care to provide some references? as for "stupid people blindly following an ideology", you're watching Andrew Bolt, but please, I can't wait to read your strong evidence.
Whether you believe in the role of pollution in Global Warming or not, it is real. So how do we help reverse it? If by chance reducing the filth that industry spews into our air every day can help, why not try? Industry should have been looking for cleaner energy production 20 years ago. We will all benefit.
Can't stand Andrew Bolt myself but he has a right to an opinion. Oh, to all of you who call the PM a liar, what about the GST? Worst thing ever! We DO need to act on Gobal Warming NOW.
@opticalprism You forgot the uproar that went on over the GST? Perhaps you were'nt old enough to remember. Dunno about you but I never had it so bad til the GST introduced. Don't say prices don't rise due to the GST! Libs want money, like Barnett (WA) telling the Indigenous of the northwest he would pay them millions to accept the Gas development up there and then telling them OFF the record he would do it even if they did not agree. Libs look after money and those who have it = the minority.
I would suggest you educate yourself in regard to what a Goods & Services tax is, and the 2,000 different consumption taxes it replaced.
Yes I am old enough, and by your response would add that your total lack of understanding about the implementation of the GST and that the Howard government sought a mandate from the Australian public for a GST at the August 1998 election and voted back in with a majority, shows me a Labor voter in complete denial!
@opticalprism Yes the GST was meant to replace heaps of other consumption taxes, but it is also placed on things that should not be taxed eg women's sanitary products. Women can hardly help their biological functions. So you accepted the GST and do not believe it hurt many people in the economy? Why are you not able to accept that a Carbon Tax on the top 500 biggest polluters in our country is a good thing for all? The fear campaign of the libs is based on lies. Eyes open wide - not in denial.
@MerryAviaries No disrespect, but it's hard to argue with someone who is completely devoid of any of the facts about a subject he or she is trying to defend.
Here's the morning news, "The Carbon Tax is a fraudulent vehicle to implement a broad rangeing tax regime by the means of instilling fear into people that if they do not comply their very future and children's future are at risk!"
Unfortunately most people and retirees have fallen for this because of the compensation package!
@opticalprism The Gillard Govt (like Rudd before her) is trying to do something about the awful truth of Global Warming and our part in that pattern. Nobody says we cause it but we do add to it substantially with our pollutants. This Govt has the guts to do something that should have been done decades ago. Are you perhaps one of the top 500 polluters? It is hard to say as much as one wants to say given the small word limit. I think we have to agree to disagree and I wish you well in life :o)
@MerryAviaries Can I ask you one final question, and I'm not pulling any punches here!
For you, what is the overwhelming piece of evidence that global warming exists, other than normal cyclical climate fluctuations and temperature variations?
The reason I ask is it's interesting to know where people are getting their information.
@opticalprism Of course you may ask. IMHO, Global warming and Global cooling exist cyclically as you stated. However in recent times the ocean temperature has risen by a larger amount than in previous years, thinking that a rise of say 1c is significant. The polar icecaps have melted far more than before, and the flow ice is more scant. I watch lots of doco's and scientific programmes and I do not rely on newspapers or mainstream media for their biased reporting. Does that satisfy your need?
@Niobium2000 Sorry! No disrespect but I am fed up with selfish stupid people who refuse to accept that our pollution of our planet is causing its downfall. Of course, th CO2 is just one small part of what needs to be cleaned up if we want a good future for ourselves and our children and grandchildren. I've had a really terrible week and I am just not prepared to go any further with this debate. Thanks. Hope you all get to breathe better in a cooler climate in the future.
@MerryAviaries I, as a research scientist in the field i work in, have a fair handle on the science of climate change and AGW. I am convinced without a doubt that we are the main cause for the increases in temperature and associated effects seen around the world. I however, fail to see how a carbon tax, when there is a virtual monopolisation of power infrastructure is going to make one lick of difference to emissions. You seem a fervant supporter, care to explain?
@uknowispeaksense Hi, from what I understand the Carbon Tax on the top 500 polluters will force those polluters to develop cleaner energy production methods to reduce the taxes they have to pay. It won't happen overnight, but the point is we cannot just sit back and let the next generation deal with it any longer. To do so is sheer stupidity. We must act now to reduce emissions - something we can proactively do to slow down GW. Why shouldn't we set high standards? We can always come down.
@MerryAviaries I think it works well in theory, but the problem with say an electiricity generator who owns the powerlines and grid infrastructure. As a monopoly, that generator has no need to improve technology. Instead they will pass on the costs to their customers whose only alternative is to generate their own power. Ok for homeowners but what about rentals and those who can't afford solar panels? I'd like your take on one of my videos if you don't mind? watch?v=qImNRuV4G0Q
@uknowispeaksense Hey mate, sorry for the late reply. Having some big issues with my computer right now and can't watch any videos or load many pages, but it should be fixed within the week hopefully, so then I shall check out your video and let you know what I think. OK?
@uknowispeaksense Hi, just took a look at your video and I think it is really good, and mostly what I believe is the way to go too. However, where do you suppose they will find the funding to get all these new businesses going? And worse still is how do you get the businesses to do what is necessary to change to green energy production? The carbon tax IS that incentive because they won't change without it - they haven't yet, have they?
@MerryAviaries Hi again. If you download the report from the link in the blurb, most of that is set out in there. A trip to the Melbourne Uni site where the plan was formulated will also link to the associated feasability studies. They readily admit that it won't be easy. When it comes to business, there are plenty of people out there with the money to get involved. They just need to see bottom line potential. I reckon if the Gov started building massive solar plants, business would get on board
@uknowispeaksense Gedday, yes I agree with you that the Government should just begin creating renewable power sources and the investors would come. The main problem is that there are too many total pseudo-intellectuals out there spitting out bull about GW and also about the Carbon Tax itself laced with generous lashings of fear mongering to a basically uneducated public who get caught up in the hype. They don't care about GW, they care about money and profit, regardless. Frustrating to the core.
@MerryAviaries For me, its science illiteracy that shits me to tears. ireckon you and I are probably on the same side in a lot of areas. I can't agree with the Carbon tax in its current form so we'll have to agree to disagree on that one but keep up the good fight on educating the Bolt fans and their ilk. Nice chatting with you. Friend request sent :0)
@MerryAviaries riiight. and by committing economic suicide we can prevent 0.00001 degrees of warming. If you were serious you'd be calling for more atomic energy.
@Niobium2000 Are you serious? Holey Moley mate I do not, have not and will never support nuclear energy. If Hiroshima and Nagasaki are too distant for you, perhaps Chernobyl, or even Japan could tell you why? One can NEVER second guess the unexpected, and with the climatic changes we have been experiencing worldwide, we cannot afford to run the risk of a serious breach in a nuclear energy power plant. If you support it, you're as big a twit as I thought or are you one of the 'chosen ones?' :o(
What a clown the Dolt on the Hun is. Flannery isn't the issue, neither is Penny Wong or Al Gore, anything but the science eh Andy? But then Murdoch has always had problems getting quality mouthpieces.
@00liamj00 Actually they are. Flannery (although not a climate scientist) is on the climate commission aiming to convince us this thing is true. He made a SCIENTIFIC prediction that we'd never have flooding rain again... a claim proved categorically false. Penny Wong was the CC minister who introduced the initial CPRS. Again she made a SCIENTIFIC prediction that was also proved false. In science, the basic test of any theory is its predictive power. AGW has FUCK ALL predictive power.
@HarrynJessie have you actually read the full transcript of the interview Tim Flannery did that Bolt has quote mined here? If you did, you'd realise that your comment is as idiotic as Bolt himself. Don't be lazy. Go and find the full transcript and read the friggin thing before going along blindly believing what this scienitific illiterate drivels out.
@uknowispeaksense thanks for chastising me but yes i have read the transcript. It's difficult to misrepresent such an unequivocal statement by Prof Flannery... and Bolt hasn't done so here. I quote: "So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems, and that's a real worry for the people in the bush. If that trend continues then I think we're going to have serious problems," ... That's plainly a scientific prediction...
@HarrynJessie ... a prediction proved conclusively false. Now, I understand that, not being a cliamte scientist himself, Flannery is in no way representative of the actual views of the scientific community. However, you seem to think there's nothing wrong with his predictions. So I encourage you to re-read his statements, including those on carbon trading - because he's an expert on all these matters - and understand that the man is not only a below average scientist but a brazen liar too.
@uknowispeaksense it seems a bit fanciful, I must say. If it was profitable to invest in renewable technology, and have 98% of our b/l coming via solar and wind power by 2020, it would have been done. If renewables are cheaper then why is there so little investment? Why is it only a fledgling enterprise? I could offer explanations but obviously you wouldn't agree with any of them.
I'm also opposed to carbon trading... I'd prefer a straight consumption tax, if we were to do anything at all...
@HarrynJessie ... that is, tax every product sold domestically according to its ghg footprint. (It's much more transparent than an ETS plus it doesn't hurt exporters who have to compete with markets that don't impose such a tax. Also, the money raised from the tax can be used to subsidise renewable schemes such as the ones in the vid). That's if we were to do anything at all. Right now I can't see any reason for new legislation... we should continue to discuss the science & its predictions.
@uknowispeaksense that's a poor excuse. If it was a huge money-making enterprise, businesspeople would be in the industry trying to make a buck. That's the reason they are in any industry in the first place. There are subsidies, sure. That's not the explanation for why people won't invest, virtually at all. A much better explanation would be that these technologies are very expensive to manufacture and not reliable for b/l purposes. Hence costs are very high, hence a lack of investment.
@HarrynJessie For a start oh chastised one, he's not talking about one off events, he's talking about trends and he always does when referring to climate. Oh yes we had a weather event that went against what he was saying.....ugh facepalm. You're watching Bolt. Its pointless even trying to find a way that allows you to understand. Gee its cold today, so much for global warming. Ooh it rained alot. Well there goes the long term drying trend.
@uknowispeaksense Ha. Lecturing me about science. Anyway. He clearly wasn't talking trends; he was making a prediction. So his argument doesn't fly. But let's suppose he was talking statistical trends. How many years would need to pass before we could comment on the nature of the trend? Most scientists that I've heard say at least 30 years but, to me, even that seems very short. 30 years is all I need here nevertheless. He made the statement (and others like it) in, let's say, 2005...
@HarrynJessie ... for the sake of round numbers. So we can't really comment on this "trend" until mid-2030s minimum. Certainly there's no evidenciary basis for any policy action until that time. Now, how many years or months would need to "buck the trend" in order for the hypothesis to be deemed false? You tell me, seeing as you seem to know so much about this stuff. Of course there's also problems of determining causation, modelling errors and so forth. So he still has all his work ahead.
@HarrynJessie I'd also make one final remark. I'm advocating for the status quo (the null hypothesis if you will). It is not my job to explain to you why last year or the year before that, and so on, disproves the AGW theory. It is entirely your job to explain why completely normal, albeit infrequent, weather events conclusively validate alarmist prognostications about the Earth's climate. Same goes for extended periods of drought/flood etc.
@steevee1945 Actually according to a scientific programme I caught on the ABC, man made climate change is very real. Proof? The temperature of the Stratosphere is colder than our atmosphere indicating the warming is coming from the Earth side. If the stratosphere was the same temp the warming would be from an external source. It is measurable scientific fact hence the GW phenomena. Our Earth and environment are out of kilter and we ARE partly responsible due to our reliance on Fossil fuels.
@mattt1994 You're just a naive kid , when you get old enough to have a job you will resent Labor and their incessant tax rises as much as the next man.
@BassGoesBoom1 Naive, is not taking responsibility for your actions. Naive, is disregarding the overwhelming science of climate change. Naive, is hoping that the next generation will be able to handle the problem. Australia knows that money talks and that the only way to get these big polluters to reduce their co2 is by taxing them.
@mattt1994 Go do some research on China , they increased emissions 8% last year if you can't be bothered to do a simple google search.So if carbon was the main driver behind climate (which it is not) , you would still have the issue of China increasing emissions 8% per year.
@BassGoesBoom1 You are correct, carbon is not the "main" driver behind climate but it is significant enough to raise the temp at least a few degrees. I am always fascinated by climate deniers, what exactly makes you think that climate change is a hoax? I mean the vast majority of scientific institutions agree that it's human induced.
@mattt1994 Long term temperature records going back millions of years , we are far more likely to enter an ice age than a global warming period.As for the scientific institutions you mean like the UN IPCC who said that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 then suddenly changed their mind to 2300? Also you did not mention China in your post , why do you left wingers continue to ignore Chinas pollution? Thats where all the factories have been the past 20 years.
@BassGoesBoom1 No, I mean, the National Academy of Science of the U.S., Canada, Japan, China, Russia, Brazil, Italy, France, U.K., Germany, and India. The U.S. Dept. of Defence, NOAA. Oh i'm sorry who did you say was on your side again?? You have zero credibility.
@BassGoesBoom1 LOL just as I expected, no credible response. NASA's official website clearly indicates that Earth's temperature is rising due to human activity, end of story. You have no evidence except trying to disprove our evidence which is not working well for you. What scientific organization has published a peer reviewed study saying climate change is a hoax?
@mattt1994 Did you even read the article? Your replies don't actually answer any of my points , still waiting to hear that you comprehend Chinas emissions rose 8% last year.You believe emissions cause global warming? go protest in China , thats where all the factories are now.
@BassGoesBoom1 China is the number one producer of renewable energy on the planet, they have a much more rigorous ghg plan than the U.S. It's easy to play the blame game but climate change is everyone's problem and real solutions will come when we address it together. Australia's climate tax is a start. Please tell me you believe climate change is happening?
NASA has admitted to the error in regard to the collection of raw data by GISS who didn't take into account the "urban heat Island effect", and time of day data was collected between the 1200 collection points and rural temperature variations.
Once the data was correctly collated and analysed, the actual temperature between 1998 and 2007 was trending down by 0.015.
@opticalprism Uhh, I'm so tired of this. Why do you think that you have the ability to challenge 98% of the world's most brilliant scientists. From what I know, you are not a scientist so why do you think your quick google search can challenge thousands of scientists life long careers in the climate field??
@mattt1994 ah the argument from consensus. The last refuge of a climate alarmist. Why don't you investigate the science yourself, rather than be satisfied with the conclusions of others, particularly given that, in all likelihood, you don't understand the science (not a put down; most people won't understand it). While you're at it, you might like to source that 98% figure and the actual propositions on which they agree.
Actually, it wasn't a quick google, this is quite common knowledge! That is the infamous hockey stick, brought to you by your favourite bogus scientist Michael Mann from the fraudulent IPCC, which just loves giving you misleading information.
Did you say 98% of the world's most brilliant scientists, you're having a laugh.
The only brilliant scientist on this topic is Richard Lindzen, period!
By the way, are you a atmospheric physicist? Didn't think so!!!
@uknowispeaksense No , but if they were so far out on the himalayan glacier melting timeline i doubt it's worth my while reading it.Also do you really expect people to take you seriously with a username like that? You can't even spell correctly idiot.Also capitals , go learn them.
@BassGoesBoom1 You're correcting my grammar? Usually, the comma follows the word followed by a space, not the other way round. Also, to be grammatically correct, you must leave a space after a fullstop before starting the next sentence. The pronoun "I" when used in a sentence must always be capitalised. However, YouTube usernames, much like email names, don't need to conform to the usual rules. Oh, and your last sentence wasn't really a sentence. Oh, the irony!
@BassGoesBoom1 So, grammar irony aside, based on 200 words you didn't actually read directly, you decide the whole report must be wrong? Wow! You do understand the way IPCC reports are put together don't you? Actually, don't bother answering. I know you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be so wilfully ignorant.
@mattt1994 real change? Under the Carbon Tax, our emissions are going to go up! And by 2050, on a best case scenario, they'll decrease by 2%. But then when the aim is wealth redistribution, and is nothing to do with a rather farcical pseudo-scientific prophecy, the left in Australian politics doesn't concern themselves with such small matters. lol.
@Niobium2000 I absolutely agree that this will damage the economy. However, it will be in the very short term. I understand that it can be difficult to think long term but I can guarantee you that a low carbon economy helps protect our future and makes our society more sustainable. We fear what we know the least about, perhaps do some research on climate change and this carbon tzx will make you less nervous.
To all the anti-Bolt people: funny how you're unable, unwilling or incapable of meaningful, constructive contribution to the debate, so you simply make personal attacks against the man.
andrew bolt supports communist australia a country with no voice except for his own suporting the crap that spews out of this australian communist government lead by big RED GILLARD
So if as the aust gov advise 29% of Oz carbon emissions are made by house holds, and 25% are made by big business WHO MAKES THE largest single portion 46%. Why is the fed gov Education Investment Fund web site NOT allowing access to CCS link? Could it be because CARBON CAPTURE is a pipe dream? WHY THE HELL should we fund LIMA treaty protected manufacturing countries? Let those countries lead the way! We dont make anything here any more, to create CARBON!
l wonder why the poles are melting l wonder ? maybe its because of global cooling a 10th of a degree as that muppet Bob Carter reckons, right o bolt how much did you pay him? scientist my arse how that for an assumption
Flannary and the rest of the dip shits assumed and fucked up.Assuption is the mother of all fucks ups.You all that are against this Bolt look really stupid.Do not assume as you will always look stupid.
Liberal , Labour , Green , Democrat , Independent - they all are employed by the CROWN !!! You think you live in "democracy" ?! - THINK AGAIN !!! It is written in Australian Constitution - Australia is part of the COMMONWEALTH ! The head of the Commonwealth is the CROWN ! ( that IS THE QUEEN ! - or whomever owns her now ie; Rothchild ) . Australia had it's chance to vote for republic in 99' - and it was RIGGED ! they made you believe that Aussies want Monarchy 53% to 48% - THAT"S A LIE !
Bolt is a shit host. I don't care that the show's just a propaganda machine. He's trying to be like Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck, but he's got no charisma haha
wake up australia its not about saving the environment its a way for our country to go broke then we will be offered a bailout like Greece which we wont be able to handle, and then that will be the begining of a global government. what do u think is happening all over the world the banks are holding the countries to ransom
Andrew Bolt is the biggest Neo-Con piece of shit in Australia and ordinarily I wouldn't piss on the mongrel if he were on fire....
However in this subject he is correct. Governments are LYING through their teeth, and the Carbon Debate has left out one BIG FACTOR: Cars emit Carbon Monoxide. Not Carbon Dioxide.
@Niobium2000 Abuse yes. Hate Nope. As far as you are concerned... 5 years online, Zero uploads... Zero OPINION except trolling videos.
Go back in your garden shed and masturbate over John Laws bikini pictures. All you do is troll videos and attack real posters.
LOOOOOL Lets face it Newbium2000 .... U are a troll. And not even very bright. U leave a trail of evidence of your trolling HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Silly little boy... Go play your Nintendo and stay offline with Mummys permission.
You're one of the guys who takes shit from the beach because you don't understand that if everyone did it there would be no beach left aren't you? Saying that since Australia contributes weakly to emissions it's pointless for them to try and reduce them is asinine.
Amazing. He predicted something wrong. No one ever does that. We should now execute him. And her! And also Bob Brown, just because he's a communist nazi cunt! Yeah! Less gun control as well! Down with the nanny-state!
If you predict something and it doesn't happen that makes you a bad scientist, if you say that something is *likely* that's an entirely different matter.
No scientist worth their salt will say that something is *going* to happen when they don't know that it's *going* to happen, that's a blatant disregard for scientific metaphysics.
@bradmanthethird When a scientist predicts something, that prediction will always have a chance of being wrong to some degree. Nothing predicted can be 100% accurate.
Two masses will attract each other with a force proportional to their combined mass and inversely proportional to the square of their distance, 100% of the time. Exposing alkaloid metals to oxygen will cause them to react, 100% of the time. A chemical reaction will not produce more energy than was put into it, 100% of the time. The earth is likely to get warmer as carbon levels in the atmosphere continue to climb. See how that works?
@Niobium2000 You didn't answer the question. I don't care about people getting busted in public toilets for soliciting gay sex, I'm tolerant. But how do you conservatives feel about it? Why are conservatives drawn to pompous gays like Jones?
People like Jones, Hadley, Bolt etc are just not intelligent enough to stand on opinion alone so they create this left - right divide so they can have a voice. They are voice for the unintellectual thus your support of them is understandable.
@ZuluDawn88 Which is exactly why the government will be thrown out my mining tycoons. If Fortescue Metals returns to pre-GFC price peaks of $62 Andrew Forrest will be worth 56 billion along with several others experiencing significant gains. News Limited has a current market capitalisation 13.5 billon AUD. They (mining magnates) could easily buy out all Australian media assets upon the market recovering.

You see, here's the funny thing about atmospheric CO2: it's ubiquitous, and we produce 0.7%

@fpsBeaTt You're a student, and a pretty crappy one at that. The carbon tax is to influence other economies and countries to take the same action. Did you know that cigarette packaging has also influenced other countries to look into the same matter and do the same? Of course we don't emit a lot, to say that we do when we consist of 0.003% of the world population is ludicrous. Except you're too ignorant to think that the population believes our tax will make a direct difference.

@fpsBeaTt And the arguments presented by Bolt are the cheapest shots you could ever make. You know that the Howard government promised that GST won't go ahead, yet, where are we now? I'd rather live with a carbon tax than WorkChoices. And no, if you knew anything about simple economics a carbon tax will not shoot down the economy. Companies work by using marginal costs and will still hire people regardless to get the best out of their available resources.

@fpsBeaTt Better yet, simple microeconomics states that people will move into other industries if profit shoots down in another industry, so now instead of having a bunch of crappy coal companies hiring people, we'll have people working in industries that will innovate and improve the growth of the economy. From coal miners to proper engineers working and developing the economy. Learn a bit about business and economics before stating a few climate change facts.

I would suggest you educate yourself in regard to what a Goods & Services tax is, and the 2,000 different consumption taxes it replaced.
Yes I am old enough, and by your response would add that your total lack of understanding about the implementation of the GST and that the Howard government sought a mandate from the Australian public for a GST at the August 1998 election and voted back in with a majority, shows me a Labor voter in complete denial!
opticalprism 6 months ago
@opticalprism Yes the GST was meant to replace heaps of other consumption taxes, but it is also placed on things that should not be taxed eg women's sanitary products. Women can hardly help their biological functions. So you accepted the GST and do not believe it hurt many people in the economy? Why are you not able to accept that a Carbon Tax on the top 500 biggest polluters in our country is a good thing for all? The fear campaign of the libs is based on lies. Eyes open wide - not in denial.

@MerryAviaries Can I ask you one final question, and I'm not pulling any punches here!
For you, what is the overwhelming piece of evidence that global warming exists, other than normal cyclical climate fluctuations and temperature variations?
The reason I ask is it's interesting to know where people are getting their information.
opticalprism 6 months ago
@opticalprism Of course you may ask. IMHO, Global warming and Global cooling exist cyclically as you stated. However in recent times the ocean temperature has risen by a larger amount than in previous years, thinking that a rise of say 1c is significant. The polar icecaps have melted far more than before, and the flow ice is more scant. I watch lots of doco's and scientific programmes and I do not rely on newspapers or mainstream media for their biased reporting. Does that satisfy your need?

@MerryAviaries I, as a research scientist in the field i work in, have a fair handle on the science of climate change and AGW. I am convinced without a doubt that we are the main cause for the increases in temperature and associated effects seen around the world. I however, fail to see how a carbon tax, when there is a virtual monopolisation of power infrastructure is going to make one lick of difference to emissions. You seem a fervant supporter, care to explain?
uknowispeaksense 5 months ago
@uknowispeaksense Hi, from what I understand the Carbon Tax on the top 500 polluters will force those polluters to develop cleaner energy production methods to reduce the taxes they have to pay. It won't happen overnight, but the point is we cannot just sit back and let the next generation deal with it any longer. To do so is sheer stupidity. We must act now to reduce emissions - something we can proactively do to slow down GW. Why shouldn't we set high standards? We can always come down.
MerryAviaries 5 months ago
@MerryAviaries I think it works well in theory, but the problem with say an electiricity generator who owns the powerlines and grid infrastructure. As a monopoly, that generator has no need to improve technology. Instead they will pass on the costs to their customers whose only alternative is to generate their own power. Ok for homeowners but what about rentals and those who can't afford solar panels? I'd like your take on one of my videos if you don't mind? watch?v=qImNRuV4G0Q

The carbon tax IS that incentive because they won't change without it - they haven't yet, have they?

When it comes to business, there are plenty of people out there with the money to get involved. They just need to see bottom line potential. I reckon if the Gov started building massive solar plants, business would get on board

@uknowispeaksense Gedday, yes I agree with you that the Government should just begin creating renewable power sources and the investors would come.

If that trend continues then I think we're going to have serious problems," ... That's plainly a scientific prediction...

@uknowispeaksense it seems a bit fanciful, I must say. If it was profitable to invest in renewable technology, and have 98% of our b/l coming via solar and wind power by 2020, it would have been done. If renewables are cheaper then why is there so little investment? Why is it only a fledgling enterprise? I could offer explanations but obviously you wouldn't agree with any of them.
I'm also opposed to carbon trading... I'd prefer a straight consumption tax, if we were to do anything at all...

@HarrynJessie ... that is, tax every product sold domestically according to its ghg footprint. (It's much more transparent than an ETS plus it doesn't hurt exporters who have to compete with markets that don't impose such a tax. Also, the money raised from the tax can be used to subsidise renewable schemes such as the ones in the vid). That's if we were to do anything at all. Right now I can't see any reason for new legislation... we should continue to discuss the science & its predictions.

@uknowispeaksense that's a poor excuse. If it was a huge money-making enterprise, businesspeople would be in the industry trying to make a buck. That's the reason they are in any industry in the first place. There are subsidies, sure. That's not the explanation for why people won't invest, virtually at all. A much better explanation would be that these technologies are very expensive to manufacture and not reliable for b/l purposes. Hence costs are very high, hence a lack of investment.

@uknowispeaksense Ha. Lecturing me about science. Anyway. He clearly wasn't talking trends; he was making a prediction. So his argument doesn't fly. But let's suppose he was talking statistical trends. How many years would need to pass before we could comment on the nature of the trend? Most scientists that I've heard say at least 30 years but, to me, even that seems very short. 30 years is all I need here nevertheless. He made the statement (and others like it) in, let's say, 2005...
HarrynJessie 4 months ago
@HarrynJessie ... for the sake of round numbers. So we can't really comment on this "trend" until mid-2030s minimum. Certainly there's no evidenciary basis for any policy action until that time. Now, how many years or months would need to "buck the trend" in order for the hypothesis to be deemed false? You tell me, seeing as you seem to know so much about this stuff. Of course there's also problems of determining causation, modelling errors and so forth. So he still has all his work ahead.

@HarrynJessie I'd also make one final remark. I'm advocating for the status quo (the null hypothesis if you will). It is not my job to explain to you why last year or the year before that, and so on, disproves the AGW theory. It is entirely your job to explain why completely normal, albeit infrequent, weather events conclusively validate alarmist prognostications about the Earth's climate. Same goes for extended periods of drought/flood etc.

The temperature of the Stratosphere is colder than our atmosphere indicating the warming is coming from the Earth side. If the stratosphere was the same temp the warming would be from an external source. It is measurable scientific fact hence the GW phenomena. Our Earth and environment are out of kilter and we ARE partly responsible due to our reliance on Fossil fuels.

Did you say 98% of the world's most brilliant scientists, you're having a laugh.
The only brilliant scientist on this topic is Richard Lindzen, period!
By the way, are you a atmospheric physicist? Didn't think so!!!

@uknowispeaksense No , but if they were so far out on the himalayan glacier melting timeline i doubt it's worth my while reading it.Also do you really expect people to take you seriously with a username like that? You can't even spell correctly idiot.Also capitals , go learn them.
BassGoesBoom1 5 months ago
@BassGoesBoom1 You're correcting my grammar? Usually, the comma follows the word followed by a space, not the other way round. Also, to be grammatically correct, you must leave a space after a fullstop before starting the next sentence. The pronoun "I" when used in a sentence must always be capitalised. However, YouTube usernames, much like email names, don't need to conform to the usual rules. Oh, and your last sentence wasn't really a sentence. Oh, the irony!
uknowispeaksense 5 months ago
@BassGoesBoom1 So, grammar irony aside, based on 200 words you didn't actually read directly, you decide the whole report must be wrong? Wow! You do understand the way IPCC reports are put together don't you? Actually, don't bother answering. I know you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be so wilfully ignorant.

@mattt1994 real change? Under the Carbon Tax, our emissions are going to go up! And by 2050, on a best case scenario, they'll decrease by 2%. But then when the aim is wealth redistribution, and is nothing to do with a rather farcical pseudo-scientific prophecy, the left in Australian politics doesn't concern themselves with such small matters. lol.

@Niobium2000 I absolutely agree that this will damage the economy. However, it will be in the very short term. I understand that it can be difficult to think long term but I can guarantee you that a low carbon economy helps protect our future and makes our society more sustainable. We fear what we know the least about, perhaps do some research on climate change and this carbon tzx will make you less nervous.

So if as the aust gov advise 29% of Oz carbon emissions are made by house holds, and 25% are made by big business WHO MAKES THE largest single portion 46%. Why is the fed gov Education Investment Fund web site NOT allowing access to CCS link? Could it be because CARBON CAPTURE is a pipe dream? WHY THE HELL should we fund LIMA treaty protected manufacturing countries? Let those countries lead the way! We dont make anything here any more, to create CARBON!

This guy is a big business mouthpiece.
New Zealand has carbon pricing-has there been massive job losses there? NO
Approx.10 US states have similiar schemes-has there been massive energy price hikes? NO
Instead of negativity and using liberal party stooges to pump out greenhouse gases-let's focus on a habitable environment for future generations.

Andrew Bolt is the biggest Neo-Con piece of shit in Australia and ordinarily I wouldn't piss on the mongrel if he were on fire....
However in this subject he is correct. Governments are LYING through their teeth, and the Carbon Debate has left out one BIG FACTOR: Cars emit Carbon Monoxide. Not Carbon Dioxide.

wiki says you guys barely make up 1% of world emissions. Trust me when I say this...
but the earth won't give a shit if you have a tax or not or if you reduce emissions or not.
it's got bigger fish to fry (china, india, america, europe). Whatever you do, India alone will undo 1000 times in the next 2 years.
but good luck with your world saving goals of 2011. dumbass hippies.

You're one of the guys who takes shit from the beach because you don't understand that if everyone did it there would be no beach left aren't you? Saying that since Australia contributes weakly to emissions it's pointless for them to try and reduce them is asinine.

If you predict something and it doesn't happen that makes you a bad scientist, if you say that something is *likely* that's an entirely different matter.

No scientist worth their salt will say that something is *going* to happen when they don't know that it's *going* to happen, that's a blatant disregard for scientific metaphysics.

@bradmanthethird When a scientist predicts something, that prediction will always have a chance of being wrong to some degree. Nothing predicted can be 100% accurate.

Two masses will attract each other with a force proportional to their combined mass and inversely proportional to the square of their distance, 100% of the time. Exposing alkaloid metals to oxygen will cause them to react, 100% of the time. A chemical reaction will not produce more energy than was put into it, 100% of the time. The earth is likely to get warmer as carbon levels in the atmosphere continue to climb. See how that works?

@bradmanthethird Not necessarily. Other factors play a part in climate change. It's not simple.

People like Jones, Hadley, Bolt etc are just not intelligent enough to stand on opinion alone so they create this left - right divide so they can have a voice. They are voice for the unintellectual thus your support of them is understandable.
