Emmission Trading Schemes

November 18th 2009 04:52


Emissions Trading Scheme
The more I hear about this so-called method of reducing pollution of our atmosphere the more I believe it is just a giant HOAX to legalise another way for the wealthy to make an extra dollar without doing anything productive at all.
I have questions for those proposing such a scheme, and for those supporting such a scheme.
1. Precisely and accurately, what is the percentage of carbon in the so-called green house belt supposedly surrounding our planet and thus causing it to heat up?
2. In what specific way will “Carbon Credits” actually reduce this pollution? So far all I have heard is the additional costs that will be incurred and passed on to the little people like me who are already scratching to make ends meet anyway.

3. Why is it deemed necessary for “carbon Credits” to be tradeable? If a company or business is a big polluter why not just tax them harder until they stop polluting?
4. Lastly why worry about the so called carbon pollution anyway? Mother Nature has made adjustments to our planets climate for millions of years and has managed to do it quite well without having to bother with greedy humans trying to feather their nests. She will continue to do so, regardless of what we puny humans do, or do not do.

Look carefully at the ends results of the once much vaunted Water Trading Scheme. When it started we had a healthy river system in NSW. Now we have about 25 rivers without water in them.
I would suggest we all be very wary of this new scheme designed to separate the poor people of the country from a little more of their hard earned income.
Yours sincerely
