Giggle.. I love the cartoon...

 

Joke of the week.

I hear the Labor Party is going to reinvent itself....their idea seems to be a coalition with the Greens!!!

 

Well they do have one presently more or less but they seem to be inferring an official melding of like minded a***es... 

 

That's going to win a lot of votes????

THAT will (I hope) gain them political obscurity.

We all have to work to show that the Greens are not lovely tree-hugging people but are working to shut us all down.

This is interesting....

There is a growing consensus here in Durban that the United States is the main impediment to progress at these crucial talks. A consortium of 16 of the major environmental groups in the US wrote a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who directly oversees the US climate negotiations. They pointed out that, while President Barack Obama originally campaigned on a promise to lead in global climate negotiations, "three years later, America risks being viewed not as a global leader on climate change, but as a major obstacle to progress."

 

We know the Americans are not taking part.  Obama said this when he was here.  How can they? The US is buggered presently.

So what are those attending saying at this Green Conference? They are saying the Americans are the fly in the ointment. It's not China now it's the Americans.  Everyone seems to forget Russia. Rarely do they get a mention, they take very little part in this insanity, never have.

 

http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/bn/2008-09/ClimateChange.htm  Russia was not very interested in 2009 and is not at all interested now.

Russia has a formal commitment to reduce its GHG emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. However, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and subsequent economic decline, it will have no trouble meeting these commitments. The main question is: will it undertake additional actions in the context of any new international agreement?

 

Answer to the question - NO! This thing is dying but it is a very slow death.......It remains to be seen how far those who want this world domination of renewable energy power, are prepared to go. How many distorted scare tactics are they prepared to continue feeding the gullible. A lot I would think.

The Gillard Government seems to be of the opinion that this country can afford to put in as much money as countries with populations far, far larger than ours. WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO THIS!

 

Bottom line, some (minority) are doing really well in this country, but the rest (majority) are doing it tough and will do it even tougher in the next  2 years or more due to increased electricity prices for renewable energy.

The sooner the Labor Government is gone the better.

I only hope the coalition will take a real stand against this insidious threat to the well being in this country. Renewable energy is far too expensive for a population this size, for that matter, any population - look to Europe for confirmation of that.
