CTC (Carbon Tax Crap)
As has already been stated here, if the imposition of the Carbon Tax could be shown to positively reduce the level of emissions globally we would likely all be prepared to accept the tax. To those whom accept the ALP line that "Only the large polluters will pay" crap, do you all think that the businesses which are taxed will absorb that cost. Of course they will not. They will, as with any other costs incurred, pass it down the chain till where the end user pays. In that sense it is just like the GST. We will all pay, and for what? Prof Garnaut is a Professor of Economics, not an expert on the climate or global warming. Strangely we rarely hear anything from Tim Flannery these days, you remember him? He told us that the water storage dams would never fill again. The only truthful thing he said was "That even if we reduced our emissions to the target level now it would be 600 to 1000 years before any measurable reduction in global warming would occur". Julia must have had him gagged because he is very quite these days.
