This can only be a 'good thing' for Australians!

“The last thing we should be doing is rushing through a great big new tax just so Mr Rudd can take a trophy to Copenhagen,”

Now why doesn't anything like that happen here?

Climate change presumably... but will that be the political climate or the environmental climate?

The simple answer of course is that his species will keep increasing in size as it has been doing for years............Canadian wildlife bods in the late 50's estimated the Polar Bear population to be approx 5,000 its now estimated to be approx 25,000 .............global warming, climate change, AGW, affecting PB's rofl

What a big week its been in Aussie politics. On Monday the leader of the opposition supported the governments Carbon tax. So his party dumped him and got in someone else.

Scarce firmer of wrist, and a previous failure in the role.

PMQ`s didnt even mention the CRU affair, but instead there were calls from Labour backbenchers to re-iterate the plans for No-hopenhagen. PM mentions the 10 billion startup fund and refers to the 100 billion that should be in place by 2020. Sigh...

Ok, here’s a little joke for you all!

Joke said:
The leaders of Europe are all sitting around a table at the Copenhagen Climate Change summit.

After the initial pleasantries, Gordon Brown speaks first. “I will end climate change, just like I ended boom and bust! I will be tough on climate change and tough on the causes of climate change! Britain will spend “£200 billion on fighting climate change this year!”

Before Brown has even sat back down, Nicolas Sarkozy of France begins to speak. “Pah! That’s nothing! We will spend €300 billion on fighting climate change!”

Horst Köhler of Germany speaks next; “We vil end zis climate change. We vil spend €1 trillion on fighting climate change. Muhahahaha Muhahaha!!!”.

Attention now turns to the president of Armenia, he stands and meekly announces; “We have budgeted to spend $1,000 on fighting climate change over the next 10 years.”

People around the table begin to snigger. Embarrassed, the Armenian president slams his fist onto the table and shouts “Ok, ok, we will spend $100 trillion on climate change!”.

The sniggering around the table has now become hysterics; “How will you afford that?”.

“Well” the Armenian president began, “The real figure was bit low, so I just made some up. Isn’t that how it works around here?”
