I already have; 1/4000th of a degree.....maybe. There's room for error in case I have under-estimated or over-exaggerated. I reckon - and it's only an estimate based on this scientist estimate of 1/4000th of a degree - that if you were to get all those naughty CO2 producing companies...

I don't know about you, but most people would really like to know that if there is going to be a tax generated to impact on some of the biggest compaines operating in the Country, which will most likely have an impact on other areas of the economy in the form of higher costs - for everyone -...

About as serious as you with your comment that it's no big deal that she is imposing a several billion dollar cost onto Australian companies, and hasn't the slightest clue about whether or not it will have the desired effect that it is supposed to have. I'd call that a big deal. "Hey...

It's because she knows it won't drop one iota. ooo, yeah; that water is gettin' hotter. Some Global Warming zealot could have dumped it, taken a photo and said "Look! See? I told ya!" Another stupid Lib bash. Labor are far better humans than Libs, yeah? See above Lib bash, and the "big deal"...

It's already been flogged to death that the change in the Earth's temp from the implementation of a CT will be - at best - 1/4000th of a degree. That's 3 zeros. Just because a few other Countries jump on doesn't mean zip that anything will change in the world's temps due to a CT - which is the...

It's like a slow moving Cruise-liner ship, heading towards the shore...it will eventually get there and do substantial damage. Damage in the form of increased costs in various areas, and ultimately more jobs.

Administration fees of course. ;)

Don't be too hard on yourself Dazz - or Ev. We all realise it's an anonymous forum, and we can safely say things without getting a glass in the eye. It's not the glass in the eye which is the problem; it's the spilled beer. It should all be taken with that in mind. I don't take...

I've been through this whole thread and can't find your link to the tax reforms for businesses. Care to post it again, or explain it here? Maybe not.

Ev, it's simple maths and business practice; Those companies which incur expenses have to either absorb them, or pass them on. Now, in the case of these companies being charged the tax on their emissions, they may be in a position to absorb them....for the short term. But, my instinct tells...

Ev, I'm the first to admit that I have a whinge; it's the coffee lounge where we all chat and vent and so on; haven't you got that yet? I suppose not, otherwise you would have stopped going on about whingers long ago. All of the above; get used to it. Insignificant to you maybe. Correct; there...

You could, but this topic is about the CT, so he's within his rights to comment and discuss. Same old cracked record......whinge, whinge. If you dislike whinging so much, and it is such a prevalent thing here on SS (according to you) then why not travel on out and find a happier place? No-one...

Exactly right; Paying for something which will prove to be useless in it's original intent and purpose. But the Pollies will spin it until it has a value somewhere down the line - both sides will do it. Meanwhile, the average folk will be paying more - way more - than the pathetic...

Just jokin' Ev.

Are you saying that this means that Labor supporters and Pollies are not intellectuals? :D

Go for it.

I agree; But; make the employees fund their own compulsory super out of their gross wage - not from the Employers' turnover. Make the masses responsible for their own lives for a change. My son gets $1 per year of age pocket money per week; he has been doing this since 5 (is now 10). He...

Maybe, but he had an accompanying letter (won't say from who) which stated the reasons why the massive price jump. The irony is he is not allowed to indicate in any way the reason for the increase - can't say "CT".

Just had a visit from our air-con guy to do a job for us. His cost for a bottle of R134a gas was $400+GST. His new cost is now $1000 and change +GST. A rise in price to me of $30 per kilogram +GST.

I'd say it does, because you bring it up almost every post. Interesting pic. No dodge; here's my view... Introduced Mining Tax - we know how disastrous this has been and will continue to be...lied about introducing it, it will have no effect on temps - no effect on world habitat. Introduced...
