The carbon tax is wonderful
I was wrong about the carbon tax. It's a great idea. New Zealand have had theirs only 18 months and look what it's already done...

clearly they have that nasty global warming, oops I mean climate CHANGE, oops I mean "clean energy future" on the run.
On a more serious note this paper soon to be published here

Damian, better prepare yorself for some negative feed back in your reputation
The last time I put up a (light hearted) thread like that (https://www.woodworkforums.com/f43/ju...4/#post1325550) I got a "reddy" from one of our members (devoid of a sense of humour), that said, and I quote, "Learn the difference between weather and climate", so there.
It appears that climate change is not to be the subject of humour, bit like religion really

I hope the carbon tax will encourage (or force) people to consume less energy. The way we live is not sustainable and it has to change.

I doubt very much there are any "true believers" left on the forum who are not yet aware of my position on climate change. If there are do me a favour and read over the many previous threads on the matter before trying to preach to me again.

And Big Shed you get one too.

I actually agree with a carbon tax.
There are other questions that we need to look at.
Can we afford it? Maybe not.
Should we be paying for it? Yes.
Can it be avoided? Not sure.
Is there something else? That I leave open for discussion.

I see the biggest problem with the 'carbon tax' is simply a matter of semantics....
Call it a 'pollution tax' and explain to the panicking public that all it means is that the biggest polluters pay to help cleanup the mess they make...
just like many other countries do.......simple really
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
