    agreed....
    now back to the topic....
    what is the problem with polluting industries covering the cost of cleaning up after themselves
    ..is it because the cost may be passed down the line to us?....well duh.

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    As far as I can see there is no problem with getting polluting companies to clean up after themselves, in fact I'd go a step further and I would like to see ALL polluters clean up after themselves, not just a few carefully targeted companies.

    It is how we achieve this that is important and I am not at all convinced that putting a tax on a relatively small number of companies is going to achieve anything, other than to export our emissions and jobs to China.

    I also have a real problem with a Prime Minister making these decisons purely to stay in power, under pressure from a (very) minor party, particularly after stating categorically duing her election campaign that "there will be no carbon tax".

    By all means do something about carbon emissions, but in a democracry we are entitled to vote based on true information, not blatant untruths.

    What a novel idea - as we live in a democracy - we could have a referendem or better still - Let's have an election on this issue and let the people speak.

    Don't really understand why the pollies haven't thought of this

    Yeah,
    I know there will be a few issues with rising sea levels, but I still can't wait to see the Gold Coast go under.

    Why, so the criminals can go elsewhere?

    That's OK Mosman can go down as long as it doesn't overflow the river across the road from my house.

    Default Ark

    Wongo has enough tas blackwood timber to build an ark, and I can get someone to do one in the red cedar at Cremorne.
    Just as the beautiful Julia says: 'Bring it on..... Bring it on......'

    If the sea level reaches that high Greg you'll have your own anchorage, fishing deck. Gone will be Manly to Palm Beach, Parrarmatta low lying areas of Banskstown, Punchbowl will at last look like one.

    Default fishing

    More seas mean more fishing.
    More water means more rain
    We may at last get that inland sea the early explorers were seeking.
    It all sounds pretty good to me.
    Especially the bit about the Gold Coast .........
    And Wongo's ark.... he already made a few small boats, now he gets to make the real thing and imagine the beautiful joints.

    Huh?

    In a democracy we are entitled to vote based on our opinions/beliefs.

    We also have the right to ask for facts. But beyond that?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Nope, not "entitled" to vote, it is compulsory.

    We may have the right to ask for facts, we don't seem to have the right to receive honest answers
