Its no longer possible for the ordinary man (or woman) to disseminate the truth, hence causing immense confusion. At the very least, because there is so much confusion, you'd think the government would take a step back and try to establish a base set of irrefutable facts on which their policy is founded, but for some unfathomable reason, they are pressing on with this like its the holy grail, regardless of their "facts" being shot down in flames. One must assume therefore there is an incredible incentive for politicians, or there is something they are not telling us...
If you really want to get serious, Barnaby Joyce is putting a petition together to force the government to stop this nightmare. You can sign his petition on his web site www.barnabyjoyce.com.au

Rod as a scientist who understands the science of AGW. I find Barnaby to be an honest but ignorant and misguided fool when it comes to Global Warming.
What gave you the idea I thought otherwise?
I am sure you are correct that any financial incentive to change our ways such as an ETS could be abused by the usual suspects.
I can assure you that there is no confusion as far as the science is concerned!
It is the vested interests of oil and coal that are spending a fortune on confusing the public.
I personally do not give a damn for myself as I am sixty. It is my children and grandchildren and everyone else's whose future I fear for.
