You pandering to the drama Queen element on here Smithy?
You're as bad as Nemesis, who sees extremes and conspiracies everywhere these days.
What conspiracy?
I've just posted an article that relies on scientific research to back claims that we are stuffing the oceans even quicker than we thought.
It is others who shout conspiracy about science writing reports for cash, I just thought I'd beat them to it.
Drama Queen please, don't like or believe the article? refute it with facts not name calling.
As for the comparison with Nem, better than some I've seen you compared with. She may be a raving commie but her heart as you well know is in the right place.

The scientific panel concluded that degeneration in the oceans is happening much faster than has been predicted, and that the combination of factors currently distressing the marine environment is contributing to the precise conditions that have been associated with all major extinctions in the Earth's history.

well reading that smithy they admit they got it WRONG...
they also admit we had major extinctions long before man arrived..
last week they found another strain of dinosauer..that changed all their thinking about when and where......
now they have a very convenient thing to blame HUMANS..
ok now we sure as hell havent got everything right..no one is denying that...
but I still have yet to read.... what changes this TAX will make to all these problems that mankind is making..
they come up with all thei PANIC..I do not believe we changed the plabet and now the oceans in ten years.. I just do not believe it..
you can you can talk about all the fish disappearing...
but tell us please if you believe that.. how will this TAX stop it happen ig and when will it stop it happening..
and why is your bloody govt taking so long.
to decide that it is happenin g.
and we must spread the PANIC..
yet they cant tell us what when why and how.?
dont forget you have anothe r12 months to wait before ,
if anything happens...lol
I understand your upset about a new tax Cods, but frankly to understand the graviety of the issue you need to move past that.
I think you would know that so I won't waste keystrokes with it.
I'm not happy about the way it's been gone about either, but frankly lets look at BOTH options because both parties have a plan (of sorts) which WILL cost us tax dollars.(Unless of course you think Tony wasn't telling the gospel truth and the Direct Action Plan will disappear upon a winning election night)
Labor -
*Yes a tax, but on industry not you personally
* Extra money in your pocket, it will never be enough but the way they stress it, it has to be more than a token effort
*You, whilst not spoilt for choice can choose how that money is spent throughout the extra costs from Industry.
A decidedly liberal philosphy if you really think about it
*Compensation for hardest hit industries to negate (hopefully) some of the increase to consumers.
Liberal-
*Give Industry a bucket load of tax dollars (with no obligation or at least none voiced so far) to maybe decrease their emissions.
Where is that money to be found? It whilst not directly coming out of your purse will come in the form of reduced services, higher cost for goverment services or perhaps a levy, we don't know.
* Planting trees, great idea but where does the land come from?
Aparently I've heard it will require a bucket load of space, sure there's plenty of space in this country but it's already sparce as far as trees go for a reason.
So theirs your choice in a nutshell
Regardless of
anything you will PAY MORE for the environment so which would you rather.
