Propaganda works!

“44% think food and drink would be safer if it had no carbon or CO2 in it.”

Let us pause for a moment and recognise the deep ignorance of our beloved brethren and sistren around the world. Please remember all those wonderful people force-fed the illogical propaganda of their green masters and who now believe the following seven impossible things before breakfast.

Of the Australian public, and no doubt our own “public”

• 93% think CO2 constitutes more than 1% of the atmosphere
• 53% believe climate change causes tsunamis
• 47% think CO2 is ‘pollution’

• 40% believe climate change causes earthquakes
• 37% believe climate change causes volcanic eruptions
• 37% think we should try to reduce carbon in the body

Nothing I might say could make it sound any better. But those people need your help…

At the time of the Berlin COP in 1995, EU countries collectively had enough past credits from the 1991-94 period to cover all the obligations they later accepted under the Protocol. It was a no-brainer for them to demand that other developed countries match the EU misfortunes during “the First Commitment Period.” Read more… »
