There is overwhelming scientific consensus about climate change. (I don't get the whole conspiracy thing. I really don't.)
Authoress and journalist Naomi Klein points out that there has been research about who the scientists are that deny the science of global warming. They've roots in the Cold War. They're physicists. They defended Reagan's Star Wars program. They think they're defending "freedom" and capitalism from the threat of communism.
When the cold war ended, well, their new enemy was environmentalism. And it started with the anti-tobacco campaign. A lot of these scientists switched from defending Star Wars to denying the link between smoking and extreme health affects. Why? Because they saw the science as a threat to freedom. Just like communism was. And, too, to accept climate change means we'd have to regulate the hell out of corporations, cancel free trade agreements and re-localize our economies.

Let me make sure I understand the question. You are asking that if climate change never happens, (Which it has for several years now) you wonder if a legitimate congressional body of government should add an extra tax, just for the hell of it. Then you actually suggest we could teach it in our collages.

Maybe that's how the Aussies do things in OZ, but we don't waste our time on your kind of childlike stupidity. Your question sounds like a teenager on crack.

I guess you think this is another one of those wise and clever 'OPINIONS" of yours. Of all the forums on the internet, you had to come here to troll for your personal entertainment.

No troll this is how the left dreams up their scams to keep the workers poor and down trodden.You obviously are rich or well off and support the left because that's where left supporters come from.The left gains support from affluent areas in Australia not the working class because we cant be bothered with their nonsense and cant afford it!

Well then you have got your shit completely backwards from what left and right is in America.

In my country if you are poor or middle class, working class, gay/lesbian, transsexual or any race that is NOT white, you are best served by the democratic left wing party. There are a few in this catagory that are rich or just stupid, and follow the republican right wing. But very few indeed.

If you are very white, very religious, very rich, own or run a very big business like oil, or drug companies, or are a CEO of a big bank, you are better served by the republican right wing. They constantly lie and make up shit that never was to stir up the republican base. Everything Obama has done has been completely lied about through propaganda by the republicans. The right in this country are the biggest fucking crooks on the planet.

What you just said in your reply (Above quote) perfectly describes the right wing republican party in the USA. Take your exact quote above, and replace the word "LEFT" with the word "RIGHT", and it will describe my country's politics perfectly. There are very few rich people who support the left wing democratic party in the USA. They are the rare good rich people who give a shit about ALL people.

That is how it has always worked in the USA. If you want to argue politics with Americans, you better study the American political system first and get it correct. No wonder you offend us so much. I told you in another post that your left may not be the same as our left. I even asked you if you were aware we were talking about American politics and that you didn't know shit about it. You can't argue politics with people in another country unless you have studied their political system first.

I am far from being rich. If I were, I could find much better ways to use my time than wasting it with fucking internet forums. I would be out spending money driving a nice car and fucking a lot of TGurls in my big house. But I can't afford those things.

Its the left who are introducing this carbon tax in Australia and the upper middle class support it, I'm talking about Australian politics and their supposed Emissions trading scheme.I think this may occur world wide,I am just asking for other opinion's,not personal criticism.

Business - largely big (I was trying to avoid the cliche) have the short term and stupid issue of their shareholders to look after, so denying climate change is important. They;d otherwise be forced to take all sorts of measures which might cut profits. As for the sheep why buy into the "climate change is a lie" argument... well they are at the very least naive. But then how many Tea party followers see the giant corporations pulling their strings. All they see is "big government." Oh dear... there's none so blind.

The "left" is shorthand by the "right' globally for those who ultimately wish to impose communism (or whatever its modern day surrogate is) on the free people. It seems this same strand is as alive and well in Australia as it is in the UK, US and the free world.
Let the world nose dive to oblivion as long as we don't have to pay higher taxes to these damn socialists.
Fools.

Man made global warming is a myth, there is no science to prove it. Climate change happens to all planets. Whether they have Al Gore or not.

[Prospero]

Faldur talks bollocks. The entire scientific establishment bar a few renegades (probably in the pay of big business) accepts that man made climate change is a reality.
