Climate Change Reconsidered.

By Viv Forbes, Chairman,

The Carbon Sense Coalition

A comprehensive new report on all aspects of the climate change debate written by serious and qualified scientists has just been published. According to the new report, “natural causes are very likely to be the dominant” cause of climate change that took place in the twentieth and at the start of the twenty-first centuries. “We are not saying anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) cannot produce some warming or have not in the past. Our conclusion is that the evidence shows they are not playing a substantial role.”

The authors of the new report go on to say “the net effect of continued warming and rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere is most likely to be beneficial to humans, plants, and wildlife.” For an Executive summary: 


Will a Carbon Tax stop our Natural Disasters?

Australia's carbon tax will have NO HOPE of changing the climate of the world or of Australia. It is thus either just costly symbolism or destructive waste, probably both.
Does anyone seriously believe a carbon tax would have reduced the damage and lives lost in the Victorian bushfires? Would it have diverted Cyclone Yasi or reduced the Brisbane floods? No, in fact the reverse. By taxing the community and then wasting the proceeds on purchasing foreign tax credits, funding handouts to UN hangers-on or building new climate bureaucracies the community is deprived of funds that could have been used for better roads, emergency helicopters, flood proof airports, higher bridges or drought proof water supplies.

Read what Professor Bob Carter had to say on this subject to the “Convoy of No Confidence” protest in Canberra on August 22, 2011:

Jo Nova has the last word "Only an idiot would think a tax will change the weather".

The Greening of Australia 



Australians all let us revolt,


For we are carbon free;


We’ve iron ore and coal and more,


But live in poverty.


Our land abounds in Nature’s gifts,


To use we do not dare;


In history’s page, we’re now stone age


What chance Australia fair?


In worried strains then let us ask,


What chance Australia fair?
