Legislators Must Oppose a Carbon Tax
By Alan Caruba ~ One of the most disturbing pieces of news has been the way some Republicans in Congress have gone wobbly on the greatest hoax of the modern era, global warming or climate change or whatever other name is being applied to it as the effort to impose an insane tax on carbon […]
Clean Energy Standard: Significant Costs, Insignificant Benefits
By Nicolas Loris ~ In its pitch for a federal clean energy standard (CES), The Washington Post’s editorial board asks, “Will America do anything significant to slow climate change?” Assuming America actually needs to do something to slow climate change, even if the Post’s editorial board got its wish for a CES, America still wouldn’t […]
CO2 Tax Australia – Julia Gillard – Absolutely Clueless
July 10, 2011 by TonyfromOz
Today, Sunday 10th July 2011, the Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, unveiled proposed legislation to place a cost on the emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). To hide the fact that the Tax is on a naturally occurring gas we all breathe, both in and out, she’s given it a trendy name to obscure the […]
CO2 Tax Australia – And All Of This For Nothing
By Andrew Bolt All pain, no gain. The tax won’t change the temperature, but will choke our growth: Citigroup Global Markets said the carbon price would double as a tax on consumption but should have less impact on consumer prices and growth than the last major tax reform of the GST. It predicted a one-off […]
Climate Change – Billions Wasted For No Gain
By Andrew Bolt Treasurer Wayne Swan says Treasury’s latest modelling justifies the government’s carbon dioxide tax. Henry Ergas is horrified: Most striking is just how large the costs of the new scheme are estimated to be. According to the Treasurer, per capita incomes will grow by 1.2 per cent annually. The scheme is expected to […]
With A Record Like This, You Trust Them With A Green Tax, Too?
By Andrew Bolt To see what a disaster this Government’s green programs have been, check the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency’s website. Programs and rebates The Australian Government is committed to developing programs and initiatives to support householders, industry and the community to save energy and reduce emissions. Green Loans Green Start Home […]
How Dare This TV Ad Tell Such Lies?
By Andrew Bolt Count the lies in this one still from the ad in which Michael Caton and Cat Blanchett tell us to say “yes” to Julia Gillard’s carbon dioxide tax: - No, our skies aren’t black with soot. - No, this tax won’t clear the skies. - No, this isn’t about carbon but carbon […]
Study: Push for Cap and Trade Failed Despite Friendly Media, Corporate Cash
By Lachlan Markay A recent report from American University communications professor Matthew Nisbet examined the apparent decline of the environmental movement in recent years. For all the questions raised by the report over what happened to the moment, it does answer a pair surrounding the debate as it pertains to bias in the media. First, […]
Global Warming Advisor Garnaut Is No Expert And Not Infallible
By Andrew Bolt Chris Kenny warns that the Gillard Government’s chief adviser on global warming has no formal expertise on the subject: At a recent dinner party a guest who impressed me with her detailed knowledge of the climate change debate was disbelieving when I insisted the government’s prominent climate change adviser, (Ross) Garnaut, was […]
Soon Gillard May Have No Climate Change Programs At All
By Andrew Bolt I do not rule it out, but suspect Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard may not get her “price on carbon” through Parliament in this ”year of delivery”: JULIA Gillard and the Greens are on a collision course over the assistance levels for big greenhouse gas emitters in the government’s proposed new carbon […]
The Renewable Electricity Standard Game Plan
By Audrey Jones This week, National Journal hosted an energy, environment, and economic policy summit on the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES). Participants included Sens. Mark Begich (D-AK) and Sam Brownback (R-KS); Dr. Robert Simon, the Majority Staff Director of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; David Friedman, the Research Director of the Union […]
Australian Prime Minister Gillard Hands Our Future To Some People She Picked Off The Street
By Andrew Bolt Julia Gillard is surely joking – or treating us once more as fools: ABOUT 150 ordinary Australians would be randomly chosen to develop the nation’s response to climate change under a re-elected Gillard Government. Why not pick Paul the Octopus instead? At least he’s cheaper. This is pandering of the most craven […]

Be on the lookout for terrorists such as this man.
TEA Party members like him are dangerous to Obamamerica. They have a warped sense of Justice and demand we all follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead of what our Glorious Leaders want. Do not try to apprehend. Instead call Obama's Terrorist Hotline or the FBI.
