Say Yes Australia

"Say Yes" is a campaign started by groups representing 3 million young people, workers, business and the environment -- who all want Australia to put a price on carbon pollution in 2011.
This is not a tax on households. It's on big industrial companies that are polluting our air. It's about Australia getting on with the job of cleaning up our economy.

Comrade @heliosrayne,

1) You refer to the poll showing 69% believe scientists have falsified Global Warming research?

For proof of falsification Google this:

SBVOR: Berkeley Physics Professor Destroys the Hockey Stick

Also, Google this:

SBVOR: 69% Say It’s Likely Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research

2) I am an environmental scientist. You, no doubt, form your opinions based upon media coverage. I rely upon published science.

To all you silly deluded fantasy-land dwelling people of 'SayYesAustralia' WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! You can't save the planet with some ridiculous carbon Tax, or ETS.. you can't even help the planet with a tax on carbon or any other ''pollutant'', The earth has been cooling and warming in a constant cycle since its creation,. who the F**K do you people think you are, in believing that a dodgy political fix and some lame tax can save the planet!?? time to grow up and wake up people!!

@MargretDean the reasons behind the cabon tax are obvious - increased revenue for a bloated government

do yourself a favour and look up 'Henry ford hemp car' on here , you will find that Henry Ford created a car that was lighter and stronger than steel way back in the 1940s.Steel required vast amounts of energy to mine and produce , if gillard was serious about reducing emissions she would restart hemp plastic production yet she does not , the tax is about revenue.

how ignorant do you have to be to think that humans havent contributed to bloody climate change? Why do Australians just not seem to care about the future of our planet? I am a 16 year old educated girl from Sydney NSW and right now I am finding it hard to call myself a proud Australian. The fact that people are refusing to even listen to the reasons behind the carbon tax baffles me- and shows me just where most of everyone's priorities lie. Greed has destroyed the human species- now the world.

All your "sources" are pretty much obscure and dubious links to your own site. Hardly reliable and an embarrassingly bad argument.

@sbvor

The IPCC lead authors are experts in their field, instructed to fairly represent the full range of the up-to-date, peer-reviewed literature. Consequently, the IPCC reports tend to be cautious in their conclusions. Comparisons to the most recent data consistently finds that climate change is occurring more rapidly and intensely than indicated by IPCC predictions.

How much does water vapour amplify CO2 warming? Without any feedbacks, a doubling of CO2 would warm the globe around 1°C. Taken on its own, water vapour feedback roughly doubles the amount of CO2 warming. When other feedbacks are included (eg - loss of albedo due to melting ice), the total warming from a doubling of CO2 is around 3°C (Held 2000).

Natural climate change in the past proves that climate is sensitive to an energy imbalance. If the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up. Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Past climate change actually provides evidence for our climate's sensitivity to CO2.

@sbvor

A natural cycle requires a forcing, and no known forcing exists that fits the fingerprints of observed warming - except anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
