Proven Science

peterc005, you may believe the science is "proven and good". That is your right, just as it is my right to question it. What makes your pro-Climate Change stance any more valid than my questioning the proclamations of doom proffered by those on your side of the discussion? My primary concern is that an inept federal government is imposing upon us a tax which, by the admission of their own experts, will be ineffectual in reducing global temperature increase. It is also a tax which we were promised we would not have by our PM and the idea of which was dismissed as "scare mongering" by our Treasurer. The science is only "proven and good" if you are a believer. Some of the predictions of sea level rises are so wildly differing in their dimensions it is difficult to believe any of them. You can worry all you wish, personally I'll take my chances on this whole thing being another "Millenium Bug".
