@redact The skepticalscienceSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : @redact The skepticalscience website provides a reasonable layman’s summary of complex issues. In direct response to your question “why has CO2 become pollution?” it adequately explains that low levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is not harmful but that does not mean it can never be harmful. Obviously a 0% CO2 atmosphere would be detrimental for humans as ...
Aussiegreg, 3.41pm, I ‘veSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : Aussiegreg, 3.41pm, I ‘ve checked your syntax a couple of times, and I am sorry you loathe me. I really am quite likeable, some of the time. I know you meant polls not elections in your response to my fluff and that’s alright even though I disagree with you - I sense the tide has turned against Abbott’s vacuity. I trust this is not simply wishful ...
The Carbon Tax We Had To HaveSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : << Ben Eltham explains why the scheme will work >> Well, he doesn’t really.

If it is only going to reduce them by a tiny amount, with no significant increase in that amount in the coming years, then we just can’t say that it will work. It has to work to the ...
Gillard should have takenSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : Gillard should have taken the opportunity to announce a winding back of population growth (via progressive reductions in immigration) as a fundamental part of the carbon tax strategy. Building an Australian laager state here, apart from being utterly reactionary and likely to fuel poisonous bigotry, simply can’t alter the trajectory of world emissions ...
kevin1 - I’m not going toSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : kevin1 - I’m not going to bother defending John Quiggin. Do yourself a favour and read Zombie economics and decide for yourself if he is indeed “mainstream”. In any case, those who are decrying the action of price on negative social behaviours should ask themselves what they think of removing taxes on alcohol and cigarettes. The taxing of legal drugs ...
@wideEyedPupil I do recallSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : @wideEyedPupil I do recall an Ivy League University paper which calculated if all US corn … was devoted to ethanol it would not meet current, let alone projected, car fuel needs. And corn is much more calorie dense than bio waste. Now, now, you can’t go questioning the omniscience of the CSIRO , people will think you are a Monckton supporter ...
Now Ben, don’t be so hardSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : Now Ben, don’t be so hard on Dr Tadtietze — we all rationalise our emotional commitments, don’t we, and emotional commitments don’t come much deeper than ideology!
