Julia Gillard's tax to make no difference to climate

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun (Australia)
"CLIMATE Commissioner Tim Flannery choked when I confronted him with the global warming industry's dirty secret.But he wouldn't - couldn't - deny it.The secret is this: nothing we in Australia do about global warming will actually lower the world's temperature.For all that pain, you'll get no gain.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard's carbon dioxide tax will have you pay more for petrol, electricity and everything made with electricity, but will make zero difference to the climate.Thousands of Australian jobs are about to be thrown away for nothing.I have asked global warming activists like Flannery - now paid by the Government to talk us into accepting its carbon dioxide tax or emissions trading scheme - two critical questions.

These are questions you'd ask any time someone tries to sell you anything from a ShamWow to a new car. How much will it cost? And what will it do? But now watch Flannery fight to avoid confessing to that dirty secret: that Gillard's plans would effectively make no difference to the world's temperature."
