On Climate Change

It comes as no surprise that Rudd has ditched the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS. Public sceptism has only increased following the spectacular failure of the Copenhagen Summit. True it has only been postponed because of the current economic crisis yet it is likely to become permanent.

There is a complete worldwide re-evaluation of
Climate Change at present.Accusations have
been bandied about of scientific data being
doctored or hidden or destroyed. Will we
ever discover the real truth or are we a
captive to spin doctors on either side? The reality is
that worldwide action of climnate change is virtually
impossible to implement given the opposition of two of the
most populous nations in India and China.Economically
also it is impossible to get complete agreement on anything.

I know there are quite a number of people and
organisations, committed to the Climate Change
debate. They are convinced that it is a
complete manmade phenomenon and want to stop all
industrial activity and much human activity
"to save the Planet". The reality is, however, that
Clinate Change is entirely cyclical in nature
and is related to the Sun and not man.True,
manmade activity does contribute to the
pollution yet is not responsible for
this naturally occuring cyclical activity.
