Canada National Post: The Deniers

I've never liked "Denier" language. All these scientists agree the world is warming. They disagree on why.

Here are 40 scientists who disagree that human CO2 is a climate killer. This set of articles (doc) by scientists - from their specialist fields - are saying different things to the IPCC headlines.

This is important. If we commit huge global resources to drastically cut CO2 emissions WE BETTER BE RIGHT! There will be huge changes to people's lives (and maybe to the climate).

But the science could be deliberately skewed/emphasised to force us to live simply (as most globally already do...) so the rich can continue as they please, like Gore in his huge mansion, and the 60% of American elected officials who are millionaires...
 

UK green taxes or taxes for chains?

Already the first 500,000 dustbins have been chipped in Britain. There is every reason to believe this aims at taxing us soon on how much we throw away! This may sound good until you realise the Government WILL spend it on:

  • ID Cards
  • fingerprint machines
  • Iris scanning machines
  • Trident nuclear missile system
  • Academies and
  • Nuclear power stations
  • continued war in Iraq and Afghanistan
  • plans like the 53 questions people now have to answer whwen travelling !!!

Apparently UK green-climate taxes are already at a high level but not being used for CO2 reductions!! So taxes will enrich and empower goverrnment further. Not something I want.
