"I would bet real carbon - a diamond, for instance - that the writer had no idea he was writing crap.
No, Gillard’s tax is not on carbon, a solid-like soot, but on carbon dioxide, a colourless, odourless gas.
No, Gillard’s plan is not to fight climate change, which is inevitable and unstoppable, but to fight man-made warming which seems to have paused.
No, this plan will not fight even warming, since the difference it would make to the temperature would at the most optimistic be one-4000th of a degree.
No, it’s false to claim man-made warming has not been ruled out as a cause of the recent floods and cyclones.
Even the Climate Commission ruled out that link last month, in a report conceding the drought was probably just natural, too. And, no, carbon dioxide is not pollution, but a gas crucial to the circle of life. Scrub it from the air and plants will die, and, then, so will we. So in one standard piece of Government-friendly writing on global warming, we have buckets of crap. And how the authors of such stuff cheer when they’re told to stop. "
