I wish I could be confident to say AGW is not real, and maybe this could be possible dependant on the science debate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713982622967905571.post-50528896649358211782011-07-21T01:12:53.560+10:002011-07-21T01:12:53.560+10:00Hi Anon,

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Gillard but I am a fan of carbon pricing as opposed to the direct action plan.<br /><br />Gillard had mentioned that she hadn't mislead the people of Australia, which in all honesty, she didn't. She always stated she believed in AGW but would not introduce a carbon tax (True). She actually never lied.

I think the issue goes beyond our beliefs. I suppose firstly, I understand it to be a "price on carbon" not a carbon tax as the opposition refers to it as(There is a significant difference). Now there has been a bipartisan agreement to reduce carbon by 5% by the year 2020.

It is good to read and get as much information on both sides and then come to what ever decision you feel is right.<br /><br />I think where the carbon tax is concerned it Mags118https://www.blogger.com/profile/02113829653848156631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713982622967905571.post-5755828722530559592011-07-19T18:29:05.414+10:002011-07-19T18:29:05.414+10:00I like what both of you have to say Windsmoke and ...I like what both of you have to say Windsmoke and Mags 118, or the way you say it anyway. Not one of you has parroted either side of politics agressively, but with rationale and a degree of uncertainty about all facets of the issue. Really, not too many of us know exactly what is right and wrong i suppose. I believe in AGW but have questions from both sides.

This Carbon Tax may reduce Carbon Dioxide Emmissions from big polluters but it dosen't address how to eliminate the Carbon Dioxide already present in the atmosphere.
