I'm always intrigued by people who honestly believe that whatever ungodly calamity is about to befall us at any time in the future can be resolved by a government.
In this case A calamity that was unknown until governments dutifully informed the people.
We should consider ourselves lucky that this calamity can be resolved by simply paying more tax. That's a lucky coincidence.
People are willing to believe that the government can change the climate when they can't put ceiling batts in houses and build half a dozen good classrooms.
It should be remembered that most recent natural disasters in this country have been aggravated By a combination of government incompetence and the green movement.
We can't build dams for times of drought because they're bad for the environment, so we'll build desal plants which don't work and are actually worse for the environment, so we'll ration water instead, and then we won't release any excess until the existing dams are about to burst so when it does rain it will flood everything.
And we won't light fires to reduce Forrest fuel because that's bad for the environment too, so we'll wait it naturally combusts so it can kill absolutely everything.
On the other hand we will light fires to reduce the fuel load, but only at a daft time of the year and then we'll knock off for the weekend and hope for the best.
As for "greenpeace"; Before the populist carbon movement, they were little more than a pseudo-terrorist movement that spiked trees in an effort to kill sawmill workers.
