Professor Ross Garnaut, the Federal Government’s official “climate change” adviser, says Sydney WILL suffer major inundation every year unless the government quickly imposes a “carbon tax”.

Not “might” but “will”.

That’s where he loses any support from most of us.

He knows it’s true. Other experts know that it isn’t true.

We nobodies know that neither side knows for sure.

Anyway the federal government proposing 5 per cent cuts to emissions by 2020 isn’t going to stop.

Not while the Greens want even bigger reductions.

They need the Greens on side to postpone their own removal from office . . . .

But they also need to please ordinary tax-paying householders and business people who provide the votes and donations that keep them in existence.

So they start talking “compensation”.

There they really give themselves away.

Either you want to reduce pollution or you don’t.  

Are they going to tax polluters — then give them their money back?

Try to remember how big the ocean is.

And how little we know about what makes it do what it does, temperature-wise.

El Nino and La Nina are mere words to cover our ignorance.

Humans over-rate themselves. Something is happening to the weather? It must be us — because we are so important.

Or are we?

The Bible says:  “O Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth! You have set your majesty above the heavens!  When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place — what is man, that you are mindful of him, mere mortals that you care for them?”

If we humans were less greedy and shared God’s gifts justly . . . .

And tried to be self-sufficient — producing as much of our food, clothing and shelter as possible within the family network . . . .

Then what?

It would be a different world.

Would there then be the kind of pollution that might conceivably cause climate change?

Probably not.

And you’d find your meals tasting a lot better.
