I certainly agree that we should be cleaning up our act and that should be the focus, not a single by product of our activity CO2. CO2 is plant food and essential to life on this planet. Trees and all other plants are excellent at taking up the CO2 but they should be cut down and replanted. The timber should be used for building or furniture. That's the only way to prevent the absorbed CO2 being re-released into the atmosphere. Trees aged, die and fall down or are knocked down by weather. As these trees decay the CO2 will be released so at best trees are CO2 neutral. When you examine environmental evidence for causes of Global Warming, now called Climate Change, there is a distinct challenge in separating the result of changes from the causes of change. I firmly believe that the CO2 levels are a result of change not the cause of it. When you look at this post and this post it seems that there are risks that even the cleaning up of our polluters could have significant unintended side effects. Par for the course when you look at human intervention in nature, we rarely get it right and generally do more harm than good. I am not in climate change denial at all I do not believe that taxing pollution will have any beneficial effect any more than I believe water trading is a moral ethical activity. Any big polluter who can will move their operations to countries without the imposts, those who can't move are likely to be driven out of business by being unable to compete with low cost competitors and we the taxpayer will pay the most. There is no need for this bully boy tactic of a Continue Polluting Regardless Scheme, there is a need to clean up and reduce pollution. Don't get the cleanup mixed up with the peak oil/peak coal/peak gas/peak anything rhetoric as they are not relevant to this discussion. They are different issues that need to be dealt with but separately. Climate change is not in dispute, the causes are. Science is not about consensus, it is about provable, replicable tests. Modeling is not science it is an unreliable way of generating unreliable results. Modeling outputs are determined by the inputs and assumptions. Any input can be adjusted to give the output you want, any assumption can be weighted to give the output you want. Standard computer talk here, GIGO. Climate modeling is GIGO and should not be used for legislation.

geez.we dont have a democracy.
we dont have a bemocracy.
we have a constitutional monarchy. that means that there are (supposed to be)boundaries to what parliament can bring into law.
however, the reality is that the system has become so perverted and the population so apathetic, it is in fact, not even a democracy.its a media driven collection of spin artists manipulating the system for their own benefit. the politicians are owned by their party, so what you see them doing in the alloted airtime, is what the fat controller tells them they need to say or do. the parties are owned by anyone who has enough money to buy what they want the party to do, kinda like the worlds oldest profession, but a lot less respectable.and its all funded by the ever gullible tax payer.Everyone knows the politicians are a pack of scumbags, everyone knows the media has the crediblity of a vegan crocodile, yet 99.9% of the population still vote for the scumbags and 99.99999999999% still watch the t.v, and couldnt come up with an origional opinion to save their life.
you get the politicians you deserve.whilst its easy to blame the politicians for everything, when you turn the t.v off and have a think about things, most of whats wrong with our country is the fault of the politicians, but only because they are scumbags who couldnt get a real job, so they took advantage of the lazy brain dead population.
so we have the majority to dumb to know whats going on, as opposed to what should be going on, so in effect we do have a democracy but its wrong.wrong in fact and wrong in effect.

the ets, as its being sold, is based on the premise that co2 is an atmospheric pollutant. it is not. the ets is another tax system with its own government department, and army of otherwise unemployable parasites. its all about a new tax, and significant subsidies to certain comanies with well connected advisors.Im a climate change denier, simply because climate change, as its being sold, is utter gibberish/propaganda. the issue of genuine pollution however is another issue entirely.Those pumping foul chemicals into the air and rivers and the ocean, need replacing with clean green industries yesterday, theres a distinction wich the media and others dont want to make there.pollution is real and needs to be stopped, climate change was once known as global warming, but apparently the warming bit stopped some years ago but the agenda was to lucrative to stop, so now its just “change”.co2 is not the problem, gutless greedy politicians and a media who sells whatever crap is most profitable, combined with a population more interested in television than truth, makes for a massive parasite feeding off a host wich really deosnt deserve any better.
oh and “most” scientists dont agree on climate change as presented on oprah’s freak show,however those who go against the grain dont get much airtime.close to half the ipcc scientists walked out a couple years ago, they werent prepared to research to fit an agenda, and they werent for sale.
