Can I have a little rave on this. Maybe a little off the carbon credits fraud but it could be relevant.
I read through the report on Prof Garnaut's whinge on climate change. From this I have gleaned the information that he is a spokesperson for environmentalists. I also see that he bases his findings on the analysis by the Australian Conservation Foundation. A group that appears to base its ideas on statistics rather than scientific facts.
The best analogy of statistics I can think of is the horse racing industry. If statistics were even 50% correct no one would ever need to place a losing bet .
Besides who are the Australian Conservation Foundation?
The idea that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is going to cause our climate to get hotter or change because it is a "greenhouse gas" is pure fantasy. Yes our climate is stabilised by the greenhouse effect of our atmosphere but carbon dioxide constitutes less than 1/1000th part of the atmosphere because it is absorbed almost as quick as it is produced by vegetation. Water vapour is by far the greatest contributor to the "greenhouse effect". Are we going to limit evapouration? Sun activity is the great controller of our climate. All else is insignificant.
I Think poor Mr Rudd has jumped on the Carbon emissions bandwagon because he sees it as a political vote catcher. I think he has jumped on the wrong band wagon but only the future will tell.
I could rave on more but I think I have said enough for one sitting except that the carbon credits fraud will make all previous scams absolutely insignificant.
