No room for idiocy in a harsh economic climate

CLIMATE Change Minister Penny Wong has increased the Rudd Government’s carbon footprint exponentially with the release of her 374-page emissions trading scheme legislation.

Wong has also given the Opposition a carbon neutral opportunity to stand up for average working families in the face of unprecedented environmentalist bullying from the Rudd Government.

It will have to be quick though as the global fiscal stuff-up, combined with the Government’s Bills on emissions trading and industrial relations, threaten to rapidly reduce the numbers of working families.

Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull is correct to focus on jobs while Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan squander the wealth of the nation on programs for which there is no sound economic reasoning.

The problem for the Government is that its plans have been tried and have failed elsewhere. On Monday and Tuesday more than 600 scientists and others met in New York to hear experts speak against the theory of man-made climate change.

Among them was the European Union President Vaclav Klaus, who said climate data did not support the theory of human causation, adding we needed to save the planet from the environmentalists.

See Comrade Rudd's Madame Wong at her best,here on the Labor Party's ABC Lateline program refusing to answer a simple question, note how many times the cameras are taken off her when she is under pressure and looks to her right seemingly seeking assistance from an off screen advisor in how best to not answer the question.
I can just imagine the fireworks in the studio after the interview concluded.

Another speaker was Californian Senator Tom McClintock who had the audience rolling in the aisles as he pointed out the inanities of the doomsayers.

The Left, he said, was now in the business of selling indulgences - you can actually calculate your carbon sins online and they’ll gladly tell you how much money to send them (all major credit cards accepted) to assuage your conscience.

His saved his harshest criticism for the radical policies that the global warm-mongers are now enacting, the same policies being pushed by Rudd and Wong.

Three years ago, in the name of saving the planet, California adopted the most radically restrictive legislation anywhere on the planet, including AB32, which requires a 25 per cent reduction in man-made carbon dioxide emissions by 2020.

Until last year, McClintock said, Californian’s unemployment rate tracked the national figures, but since January, 2007, California began a radical divergence from the national figures and is now in double digits and nearly 40 per cent higher than the national unemployment rate.

Those numbers won’t mean much to the current federal ALP leadership because it is a clone of the dysfunctional NSW model - obdurate, ignorant and inflexible.

But as the numbers of jobless in Australia soar to levels not seen since the last federal Labor administration, driven by Rudd’s expensive and meaningless emissions trading system and its union-friendly industrial relations laws, the Opposition should make the running on behalf of those whose jobs Labor will kill.
