It seems to be irking the green fanatics that Australia has announced a carbon reduction target of only 5% by 2020. THere have been several rallies including one in Adelaide where the darlings threw their shoes at an effigy of Kevin Rudd... gosh aren't they creative?
Maybe the Government has recognised that the climate change hysteria is a massive con job that has ignored the evidence of no warming since 1998, increasing ice at the poles and a return to the cooler condition that prevailed 20 years ago.
Still the protesters keep turning up at rallies which usually occur on extremely cold days.
When will they get that climates go in cycles and have for millennia? When will they learn that it is God who is in control of our planet and not emission trading schemes?
I was talking to a farmer yesterday who reminded me of Ken Ring, a NZ long range forecaster who bases his predictions on the movements of the moon. He says that weather runs broadly in 19 year cycles, and certainly the weather here is becoming similar to what it was in our first years in Narrabri. Ken is also a climate change sceptic. I guess that comes from looking at what the weather is really doing as opposed to what computers predict it should be doing in 20 years' time.
The greens shouldn't be irked, even with their belief in the importance of this target. Australia's 5% reduction target is a total target, at the same time as we expect a 45% increase in population for the same period. This means on a per-capita basis, our target is actually more aggressive than European ones.
ReplyDeleteI read one placard that said "Zero emissions now"- even if we all died immediately there would be emissions from all the bodies decomposing-- I think there is a total lack of reality there.
