The greenhouse effect was invented about 1820 and they noticed CO2 was a factor.
Is the increase in carbon we use causing it? may be.
Will introducing a socialist meathod of wealth distribution fix it - NO.
Giving money to the winnie blue brigade will shut them up and keep these reds in power. It's a sham discguised as a green initiative.
Why should I have to pay these "people" money when I didn't vote for them. Every year there is less and less incentive to improve yourself. I'd take home the same money if I was on 35K with handouts as 100K, "paying my part".
I will continue to eat meat as often as possible and drive both of my V8s because we live in the lucky country - despite what the pollies are trying to do.
If they were serious the UN would take charge and every country would be paying their "carbon tax" to remove the CO2 producing industries throughout the world.
For instance it was reported that China used over 3 billion metric tons of coal last year. So will our 71 billions dollars raised be used to build a bubble over our country to stop their CO2 getting into our atmosphere?

Yep...u got it all right there.
A couple of absolutely fundamental questions for Gillard and Co that they cannot answer.
1/ What affect will a carbon tax on Australians have on Global emmissions?
2/ If we are sooooo worried about polluting the air via coal fired power stations, why do we continue to export billions of tons of coal overseas for other countries to emit many many times the Co2 we emit.
If Labor go even close to answering either question, I will eat this computer. The fact is....they cant. Why? Because the tax in NONSENSE.
