Their alter has altered

So much for the church of climatology.
Their high priests have been caught screwing around, not with alter boys but with data.
Anthropogenic global warming (AGW), Global warming, climate change, whatever you want to call it is dead and its creators have some explaining to do. I would also think some jail time is in order as well.

Whats up with that

Dion's Carbon Tax

Part of Dion's new green plan is too place a carbon tax on industry.

The main thrust of Mr. Dion's new proposal is what he describes as a “carbon budget,” meaning companies will have to reduce their emissions in line with Canada's Kyoto target of six per cent below 1990 levels.

For each tonne of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas that is emitted, companies would pay $20 into a green investment account. That price would rise to $30 by 2011 and companies could get their money back if they spend it on measures to reduce emissions.

Let me explain how this will work. Industry will pass on this cost to its customers, YOU and ME. The money will sit in an account garnishing interest that the government will keep for themselves to waste on useless programs. IF, and that is a big IF, a business does actually reduce there output of green house gases, it will get its money back based on that reduction.

So the government will get to keep its money for nothing and say "look at what a good responsible earth loving green government we are!" You and I will pay the cost for the business's which may even get some or all of that money back in time. Who the hell is going to give us OUR money back Mr. Dion? A very profitable scam for the government and possibly the business's at the little peoples expense as per usual.

Update: I'm not the only "genius" to figure out this latest plan by Dion.

Joanne over at Joanne's Journey has a good post on this one including an article by John Ivison in theNational Post.
