What will the legacy of the ALP be Post Gillard?

This is by no means an extensive list, if you have anything to add, please add a comment and I'll add it to the list. Never before seen Federal Government debt following horrific consecutive Federal Budget Deficits unprecedented in Australian History. Ongoing costs of failed policies resulting in a never before seen influx of illegal immigrants, and the overloading of welfare and justice systems. Record unemployment as businesses struggle to recover from a government hell-bent on taxation, almost none of the members of which have ever owned a private business . Lower housing and property values as a result of the unemployment and uncertainty. Ghettos rising in major cities as the illegal immigrants settle, and bring their families to Australia. Social inequality similar to what is occurring in Britain and areas of Europe where migration has seen countries lose their identity, and become hotbeds of violence and discrimination against the hosts. Maybe even the gaoling of p...

Global Warming / Climate Change - The New Religion

Image
Firstly, let me apologise to my friends who are environmentalists. I'm not trying to offend you, just wanna get this off my chest. Environmentalists get really upset with me when I say that Climate Change (a.k.a. Global Warming) is a religion, complete with: selling indulgences and tithing (Carbon Credits and taxes); Prophets (scientists, politicians, media executives and just plain old devotees) who lambaste the nay-sayers and critics; sermons (usually lavishly catered gatherings by invitation only so that there are no nay-sayers there, and paid for by the uninvited masses); Bibles ("An Inconvenient Truth", UN Agenda 21, blogs, websites, not to mention Government, UN, and NGO handbooks); the religious fervor that believers exhibit when their worldview comes into question; Miracles are a little different, they aren't 'good things' they're the 'bad signs' that affirm their belief i.e. Hurricane (actually it was a storm) Sandy, Katrina, etc,...

125 Climate Scientist URGE U.N.

OPEN CLIMATE LETTER TO UN SECRETARY-GENERAL: Current scientific knowledge does not substantiate Ban Ki-Moon assertions on weather and climate, say 125-plus scientists. "The U.K. Met Office recently released data showing that there has been no statistically significant global warming for almost 16 years. During this period, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations rose by nearly 9% to now constitute 0.039% of the atmosphere. Global warming that has not occurred cannot have caused the extreme weather of the past few years. Whether, when and how atmospheric warming will resume is unknown. The science is unclear. Some scientists point out that near-term natural cooling, linked to variations in solar output, is also a distinct possibility." "The incidence and severity of extreme weather has not increased. There is little evidence that dangerous weather-related events will occur more often in the futu...

Global Warming: A closer look at the numbers

Just how much of the "Greenhouse Effect" is caused by human activity? It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is taken into account-- about 5.53%, if not. This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn't factored into an analysis of Earth's greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one. Synopsis Water vapor, responsible for 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect, is 99.999% natural (some argue, 100%). Even if we wanted to we can do nothing to change this. Anthropogenic (man-made) CO2 contributions cause only about 0.117% of Earth's greenhouse effect , (factoring in water vapor). This is insignificant! Adding up all anthropogenic greenhouse sources, the total human contribution to the greenhouse effect is around 0.28% (factoring in water vapor).
