Today I have launched an online Petition designed to put maximum pressure on the Government to stop the Emissions Trading Scheme, (ETS).

I have included the wording below, I would urge you to please add your name here on my website.

This is most important, we are fast approaching the 11th hour and we have just a few weeks left to try and stop this ridiculous scheme.

I urge you all to sign the petition as soon as you can.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

Dear Sir,

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

i do not want the governent to sign the Copenhagen treaty in any form nor introduce an ETS , which I percieve as revenue raising and has no direct benefit/action to saving the planet. Countries should be banding together to work out a way of saving the world's remaining rainforests which are the lungs and water works for the rest of the planet. If the Amazon is suffering from unprecedented droughts what hope for Central West NSW?

I fully support the petition. The science of man-made global warming is far from settled and the scheme is ridiculous anyway. Tackle pollution but in a more sensible form.
# Judy Harper

We can help save the environment by simply growing more trees. This would be far more productive and would actually have a positive effect on the planet. Surely science supports the fact that trees use carbon dioxide, replenishes both oxygen in the air and also the fertility of the soil.

The ETS will be destructive to our economy with no real benefit to the planet.

Can we please use the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle. Just grow more trees, shrubs, grasses etc etc.

In the light of Alan Jones interview with Lord Monckton, I would encourage the Coalition to do all it can to stop any Australian government giving away our Constitutional Rights to an unelected world body.

I fully agree with this petition.

Dear Senator Joyce, I totally disagree with Australia signing an ETS treaty in any form. Not only will it increase all our costs but will tie us in with a Global Government system that will totally control every financial aspect of our country.

I strongly endores the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the Emissions Trading Scheme. I do not think the ETS will be effective nor do I think it will amount to anything other than a cashcow for the Gov't. Additionally I reject completely the draft Copenhagen treaty especially the outrageous payments required from Australia to other countries.
# Dallas Dogger

The science on climate change is far from settled. Rudd and his lot may think it is and if I am a "radical" for thinking that then so be it.

Only this week the sea level has confirmed in Sysney to have risen 1.7mm - hardly the drowning put forward......

I accept the climate is changing. but given the negligible contribution made by us, I fail to see hopw an ETS here can make any difference.

if this is passed in the Senate, then we are mad.....

I think all supporters of Ian Plimer and Bob Carter should read the reviews of Plimer's book and also assess how their peers regard them. You should also read the references used in the Stern and Garnaud reports and assess their authority. The likelihood is that you will consider NOTsigning Sen Joyce's petition.

I strongly feel that the Government should not sign or even consider signing of any ETS, or International Treaty in Copenhagen.

Given the scientific debate on this matter is a long way from being over and given that after much searching I can see no evidence that man made carbon dioxide is contributing to current climate change then I, as a Climate Realist, do not want the government to support the ETS, the CPRS or anything that Copenhagen might produce that puts unnecessary controls and restrictions on peoples lives.

AGW/ACC Theory.

Indoctination/education, brainwashing, fear, guilt, propaganda, euphorisms,
lack of dedate, the discrediting, demonising, and silencing of dissitents and 'non-believers', and, of course, the doomsday threats with the promises of deliverance through far-reaching powers.

Is 'Man made climate change' just a cool-sounding, warm and fuzzy, non-threataning banner used to hide the biggest swindle to impose power since the Holocaust?

As for the AGW/ACC religion, I am a hereict.

DON"T SIGN.

I vigorously oppose this proposed ETS but even more so the the Global Government system that will totally control every financial aspect of our country. Pray to God neither of these things come to pass because life as we know it will change forever. These things must be hotly debated and resoundingly defeated in the Senate. This is good old Communism at its best. I can't help but notice that Kevin 07 hasn't mentioned too much about the finer details. What makes it worse is the stance by Mr Turnbull in wanting a watered down version rather than opposing it outright!!

I strongly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash.

I am totally opposed to the ETS and all that is being proposed be done by, for and to any nation that signs the treaty attached to it. Yuo are trying to impose conditions upon this nation without giving the people any real idea of what outcomes there will be.

I definitely do not want to see Australia sign anything to do with an

just too bad. Mr Rudd should stay home and worry about our country instread of strutting around the world as though he is important. We are a very small part of the world - let the other big countries clean up their own back yard. NO EMISSION TRADING SCHEME FOR AUSTRALIA.
# Wendy Downie
Monday, November 09, 2009 5:49 PM
I wish to express my extreme concern with the Copenhagen treaty. This is just another tax and will ruin Austraila, economically and humanly. The plan by the government to sign this treaty has not been thought through, nor has it been put to the Australian public; i suggest a referendum, though of course time constraint would not allow this any more than your would. Mr. Rudd why the secrecy? No to ETS. Our wonderful planet has been assulted by climate change, governed by our star the sun for time imamorial. Dear Sir, as an Australian born citizen, I OBJECT to your proposal. with respect
# Lawrie Ayres

No ETS and no treaty.

If there is an ETS a great many farmers will simply stop farming and will instead grow trees because it will be more profitable than competing with overseas farmers not subject to an ETS. Besides neither the ETS nor the treaty will make one iota of difference to the climate.

Let's listen to the rest of the world, who don't seem to be rushing before Copenhagan. The majority of the population do not understand what Rudd is offering as a solution, which is rather unerving and the coalition should have the resolve to offer a full and open discussion with the Australian population before siging off on anything. Perhaps by doing this they will have a chance of earning some respect.

Carbon has never had and will never have any effect on global warming. It follows that the ETS. is a Labour Government scam so as to steal more money from the people to pay back their irrational spending spree. To put it in simple terms, it is just bloody stupid.
# John C Fairfax

Senator Joyce, I support this petition. There is no need for an ETS. Carbon has nothing to do with damage to the Great Barrier Reef. It is sewage nutrient pollution fed algae that is smothering coral and seagrass, nothing to do with CO2. Also, Google "sea level in southwest Pacific is stable".

No to the ETS - it is just another tax - it will cost jobs and suck significant wealth out of the economy. There is no good scientific evidence to support global warming.

I strongly object to our present governments introduction of the ETS. Only a referendum will determine if it'll be supported by a clear majority of the people.
It is well documented that it (the ETF) will do NOTHING against the so called climate change, as we are a far too small an industry to affect anything!
# Charles Perry
Monday, November 09, 2009 6:14 PM
The ETS should be voted down as just another unwarranted tax that will do NOTHING to negate climate change which is completely natural.

The AGW theory has been comprehensively DISPROVED. The human signature (hot spot in the upper atmosphere near equator) is not there - despite 10s of billions wasted looking for it, and the world is cooling despite CO2 increasing. On every time scale in the geological record Temperature variation PRECEDED CO2 variation by approximately 1000 years - both up and down.

The COP15 treaty is a direct attack on Australia's national sovereignty and an obscene impost on every Australian tax payer. The mere suggestion that Australia should be forced to send .7% of its GDP (+ +) to unelected UN officials to be distributed to some of the most inefficient, dishonest, undemocratic countries in the world based on, to put it mildly, an unproved scientific theory shows the bizarre lack of intelligence and leadership among our elected representatives.

You, Rudd, Turnbill, Wong, Garrett et al need to be reminded of one VERY fundamental fact - You are OUR employees - and we CAN and WILL sack you if you consign our country to the poor house based on rediculous Gaian Religion.

No ETS and no more treaties with unelected corrupt international committies like the UN and friends. No one has the right to sign away Australias soveriegnty without a referendom. I am disgusted by the idea of working Australians paying a new tax based on questionable science which will futher place an economic ceiling over the heads of working people. The money taken will not change the environment, it will not influence the Chinese or any other reigeme to change their ways or penalise their economy whilst we stupidly penalise ours. There are already far too many public servants in this country, another couple of schemes like this one and we will have a communist economy where the Govt becomes the ever growing predator of the ever shrinking private sector. Baby boomers look out, you can not take your money to the grave with you but Rudd Gillard and Wong are planning to toss you for it, along with your kids future. The GFC will be the next excuse used to raise death duties or some other hideous tax once people realise man made climate change was a convienient lie.

To the Senate and the House of representatives.

We do not want this "Emissions Trading Scheme" and we do not want you to sign a treaty which it appears will have the effect of shovelling billions of unassigned dollars to undecided, uncosted, unvalidated projects in nations not known for being reliable with regards to their democracy, accountability or honesty; and which may have deleterious effects on Australian sovereignty. In addition, it will open a futures trading market that is dependent on Government interference and mandates of the sort that helped bring us the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and will bring us another when the fervor surrounding "global warming" collapses (as eventually it must).


There are better ways of dealing with "carbon pollution", including the wholehearted development of nuclear, tidal, ocean-thermal and other technologies. It is time Parliament grasped the nettle and built something concrete that will be of definite value to future generations. We have a limited oil reserve to think about in the future; and the sooner this is addressed, the better. It will fix the "carbon pollution problem" (whose "science" is daily being shown up as increasingly close to "dogma" or "faith") at the same time.
# Merrill Johnstone

I think the earths ecosytems generally are very stressed and imost are in an unsustainable position.

However, I do not support K Rudds ETS because I do not think the accountability when these carbon certs are traded will be vigorous and thorough. We will see some very fuzzy equations and balances and no meaningful changes to dirty practices.

Dare I say it also lets the pollies off the hook yet again from making the tough decisions directly taking responsibility in front of their adoring voter base!

I add my name to the petition to say a definite NO to any trading of emissions. ETS is just another tax that the polluting industries will pass over to the consumer. One more tax that we cannot afford and do not deserve.

At the December 2009 Copenhagen meeting, the global leaders attending may need to consider agreeing to all reduce our emissions around the globe. And alternative energy sources like wind, water; sun must be made less expensive to produce, so that people across the country and across the world have a true option of choosing their best energy supplier for their region. These alternative energy sources are not “alternative” but just another choice for the consumer, they must become a serious and very real alternative to coal, and must be given more than a fair chance by our Governments to be manufactured less expensive, so to be a true competitor with less impact on our world.

I have not seen any evidence in my lifetime of nearly 68 years that proves beyond doubt CO2 is creating global warming on our most remarkable Planet. I have always been taught that our plant life thrives on CO2. If the byproduct from our plants is oxygen that humans breath as part of our life cycle how can CO2 cause our planet to warm. I have obviously been misled all these years I thought The SUN (the big white ball in the sky contribute to our global warming in summer and as it moved north in winter we benefited from southern hemisphere global cooling in winter. I have recently learned that our polar bears are still thrivin and our ice in the artic and antarctic is thickening again. Our planet I believe still has better control over global warming and cooling than our politicians.

Co2 leves are at 600 million year lows demonstrated by ice core sampling and despite an increase in co2 emissions, the global temperature has cooled since 1998, proving once again that Carbon Dioxide is not a toxic pollutant or the cause of climate change. Taxing us for C02 is irrelevant in tackling the real environmental problems like heavy metals, groundwater contamination etc. Our efforts should be directed at the real problems not C02 which plants need more of. Current levels at 390 ppm are one thrid of levels required for optimal plant growth.

An ETS is just a tax from which brokers will get very rich.

If they can't penalise them - heavily if necessary. But not a tax which will force us all to pay more for everything.

I do not support an ETS. We should put a straight TAX on only the coal and petrolium cartels, after all, they were the ones that stole all the money in the first place, along with banks and 3 tiers of government. This could raise the money needed to move to sustainable power from thermal solar with natural gas supplying an interum solution.

There MUST be much more debate about signing a treaty at Copenhagen. Sovereign assets must be protected for the benefit of the Ausralian people at all cost. We must have the materials to make value added items some time in the future when a proper government finally comes along.

Without a shadow of a doubt it will be a huge financial burden on our country and more importantly those of our citizens on limited incomes. Please Mr. Rudd, do not sign this wicked Copenhagen Treaty and cause untold hardship to the very people who voted you into power.

The ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty??
NO, a thousand times NO!!
Mr Rudd listen to the people! We employ YOU!! Stop pandering to the rest of the world and LISTEN to the TRUTH!!!
Look back at History Mr Rudd - e.g...Greenland was once a verdant GREEN place where Vikings lived and farmed for decades, then the climate/world cooled and guess what - no massive population breathing out deadly CO2, no cars, no coal fired power stations caused it...simply the Earth doing what the Earth has always done!! The Vikings left when their green pastures became snow and ice....
My point? This Climate change /Global warming is an absolute SCAM!! 'Play on the people's fears' they said...if we say it long and loud enough they will believe it!"
WRONG!
Remember the Millenium bug??

Mr Gore (now a billionaire with three homes, one on the coast!!!) started the "Climarte of Fear" with lies, let us now with the help of Senator Joyce END this debcale once and for all by speaking the TRUTH long and even LOUDER l!!

As here we have a Prime Minister, when he isnt busy TWEETING" BELIEVES taxing Australians will change the climate of the world??? Hello??

You are a very dangerous and deluded man Mr Rudd. Sadly I voted for you. But never again.

Such conferences should held at the Central Kempsey Caravan park. Take-away dinners and counter meals would be available from nearby pubs and shops till 8pm. Cold consumption preferred. In the name of carbon economy, delegates could be lodged four to a van. All discussions would be in the open air, night time amusements could consist of watching our local line-dancers perform...unplugged, of course. Needless to say, it's lights out at 9pm.

It will be made clear to delegates that all future conferences will be held at the same venue.

When delegates get back to the ski-fields of Gstaad and Saint Moritz for a post-conference holiday, they might look about and decide that there is plenty of snow and ice after all.

I say no to the ETS, and to the requirement of the Copenhagen Treaty for "Developed countries to contribute funding to reduce the emissions of un-developed countries". A financial impost, or tax (read ETS), will in no way reduce emissions or change the temperature of the planet.

Dear Mr. Rudd,
I do not want you to introduce an ETS. Climate change has been occurring since time began on Earth. A far better solution to taxing everyone into oblivion would be to legislate for all homes and businesses to install solar collectors to feed existing power grids. This will have a far greater effect on Co2 emissions than any tax. It will also provide work and get our manufacturing industries firing again. Common sense is the way to improve the atmosphere not taxing every conceivable thing in our society.

And don't give me the "Contingency" argument either. There are millions already starving because misguided fools are turning food staples into bio-fuels. They are hurting now and we will hurt if we sign this agreement.

I fully support Senator Joyce's stand re voting against the ETS. This is something that Australia does not need and will only become another tax burden on middle Australia, the socio-economic group that is already being squeezed into financial oblivion and cannot afford another useless tax that will do absolutely nothing to reduce any impacts of climate change.

It seems to me that the proposed carbon-trading scheme is the next "Ponsi" scheme brought to us by the same morally corrupt group of people that were directly responsible for the Global Financial Crisis.

The only beneficiaries of any carbon-trading scheme will be Labour Politicians and their puppeteers from the “Big End Of Town” including, the world’s big money men, bankers, wheelers and dealers, traders, lawyers, accountants, company receivers and liquidators that live off plundering from the hard working middle-class poor to make themselves very rich.

The losers will always be the average Joe and Mary who always somehow have to pay through higher taxes and higher prices to maintain the luxurious lifestyles of the former group.

Is it too much to expect Mr Rudd & Co the simply legislate for annual percentage or tonnes per annum reductions in carbon emissions that apply equally to everyone and every industry and set up a Government Greenhouse Emissions Monitoring and Compliance organisation to enforce and fine those that do not meet the required reduced emission limits. Market forces would take care of the rest without any fancy Carbon Emissions Trading or massive Government Handouts to Influential Industries that will have absolutely no impact on actually reducing the carbon emissions of polluting industries.

In addition Mr Rudd and his Government must stop their endless uninformed fear mongering political jabber on climate change and actually start taking some concrete action that makes solar, wind, and other true alternative energy generation options as well as buildings more affordable for Australians.

We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen come December. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises. Draft text, you say? If you haven't heard about it, that's because none of our otherwise talkative political leaders have bothered to tell us what the drafters have already cobbled together for leaders to consider. And neither have the media.

Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change뾞 rough draft of what could be signed come December.

So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.

The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.

The reason for the power grab is clear enough: Clause after complicated clause of the draft treaty requires developed countries to pay an "adaptation debt" to developing countries to supposedly support climate change mitigation. Clause 33 on page 39 says that "by 2020 the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be [at least $67 billion] or [in the range of $70 billion to $140 billion per year]."

And how will developed countries be slugged to provide for this financial flow to the developing world? The draft text sets out various alternatives, including option seven on page 135, which provides for "a [global] levy of 2 per cent on international financial market [monetary] transactions to Annex I Parties." Annex 1 countries are industrialized countries, which include among others the U.S., Australia, Britain and Canada.

To be sure, countries that sign international treaties always cede powers to a U.N. body responsible for implementing treaty obligations. But the difference is that this treaty appears to have been subject to unusual attempts to conceal its convoluted contents. And apart from the difficulty of trying to decipher the U.N. verbiage, there are plenty of draft clauses described as "alternatives" and "options" that should raise the ire of free and democratic countries concerned about preserving their sovereignty.

Lord Monckton himself only became aware of the extraordinary powers to be vested in this new world government when a friend found an obscure U.N. Web site and searched through several layers of hyperlinks before discovering a document that isn't even called the draft "treaty." Instead, it's labelled a "Note by the Secretariat."

Interviewed by broadcaster Alan Jones on Sydney radio Monday, Lord Monckton said "this is the first time I've ever seen any transnational treaty referring to a new body to be set up under that treaty as a 'government.' But it's the powers that are going to be given to this entirely unelected government that are so frightening." He added: "The sheer ambition of this new world government is enormous right from the start뾲hat's even before it starts accreting powers to itself in the way that these entities inevitably always do."

Critics have admonished Lord Monckton for his colorful language. He has certainly been vigorous. In his expos� of the draft Copenhagen treaty in St. Paul, he warned Americans that "in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy and your prosperity away forever." Yet his critics fail to deal with the substance of what he says.

Ask yourself this question: Given that our political leaders spend hundreds of hours talking about climate change and the need for a global consensus in Copenhagen, why have none of them talked openly about the details of this draft climate-change treaty? After all, the final treaty will bind signatories for years to come. What exactly are they hiding? Thanks to Lord Monckton we now know something of their plans.

Janos Pasztor, director of the Secretary-General's Climate Change Support Team, told reporters in New York Monday that with the U.S. Congress yet to pass a climate-change bill, a global climate-change treaty is now an unlikely outcome in Copenhagen. Let's hope he is right. Don't let PM Kevin Rudd get away with signing our democracy away.

This Ego driven Labor government headed by an ego driven prime minister is taking this wonderful country down a one way street with no return and sadly Malcolm Turnbull is helping him take us down that street by taking the soft approach.

If Mr KRUDD is so adamant that carbon is responsible for climate change would he stop flying around the 'globe' in his 747's!!!

What SCAM's the Labor goverment and media have stirred up in this country...all based on fear with no substance...what a disgrace.

As a mother in a single income household the ETS will cause great hardship for my family and with a new baby coming in Feb 2010, I am not sure where we find the money for the increased costs of everything. Will we be compensated for our increased costs? The whole thing is ludicrous to call a natural gass a pollutant.

I am in full support of this Petition and am totally against our Government signing the Treaty at Copenhagen. I am totally against an ETS because science has shown that global temperatures are not rising with the increased level of carbon dioxide. Previous peaks in carbon dioxide that seem to have similar peaks in temperature at about the same time have always followed the peaks in temperature not the other way round. The oceans have not been rising at the annual rates predicted and warned of by the Government. Such rises in sea levels have occurred before. We don't want taxes forced on us from outside by an unelected world government as mentioned in the Treaty to be signed at Copehagen. The taxes would not change the global temperature.

We have just watched the Four Corrners program about the ETS and were quite relieved to discover that many of the coalitions own members have woken up to this scare-mongering and are now finding the courage to speak out against it's implementation. Malcolm Turnbull's stance is disappointing! These taxes will cripple our country if we allow them to get passed into legislation.Everyone will be adversely affected.Remember the GST??

I strongly oppose the ETS and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.
Kevin Rudd, Penny Wong and all those proposing this have not fully proven to us that Carbon emissions are the causes for climate change. We should be allowed a Referendum to find out if the majority of Australians believe in this theory before our representatives in Government apoted such drastic measures as the ETS or sign anything on our behalf and risk great damage to our economy. Our economy has been built on much hard work by those who went before us and by those of us who are senior enough to know better and suspect that other more sinister agendas are the real motives for such actions by The Rudd Government that has already put us into overwhelming debt in such a short time.
Please Mr Rudd, listen to sense and let Australians have more time to discuss and fully understand the consequences of adopting the ETS and the signing of the Treaty in Copenhagen.

The only ones to benifit will be those who have the business contacts & means to set up these trading schemes which we will all have to pay into for no tangable benifit.

I also urge the Government NOT to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, we do not want to be dictated to by those nations who have no right to do so , We are Australians, we will run our own country .

Politicians remember ,you were put in Parliament to do the Will of the people, and it is their will not to have an ETS or have the Government sign the Copenhagen Treaty ...... Respect it !
# Keith Gilligan

I totally agree with this petition. The outright lies presented by the Prime Minister in his Lowy Institute speech on the weekend make me ashamed to be Australian. In the speech Mr Rudd labeled anyone disagreeing with him as a denier, a conservative, and a radical - all in one speech. The level of hysteria and vitriol on display was a national disgrace. His now famous line : "the debate is over" is particularly precious, coming from a politician. I can only conclude that the bill as presented must contain something that the PM doesn't want properly examined and debated. If Mr Rudd were willing to fact check he would find that there there are just 2900 IPCC scientists, of whom only 60 have specifically endorsed the claim that humans are heating the planet to dangerous levels. Other IPCC scientists say there’s no proof of this at all. Mr Rudd claimed there were 4000. The carbon debate continues, U.S. Senate Minority Report of dissenting scientists has pushed the total to over 700 skeptical international scientists. That is many times more than the number who support the IPPC report. According to Mr Rudd these people shouldn't speak. Paraphrasing Mr Rudd, they are dangerous radicals being reckless with our children's future. Instead of attacking scientists, how about proving beyond doubt a link between CO2 and climate change, Mr Rudd.

We are totally opposed to the ETS or any type of treaty being signed. This is the most dangerous legislation to ever be brought before parliament. No such treaty should ever be considered without a referendom being held so that the whole nation can make the decision as to whether they want their costs and taxes to escalate to some unknown figure (decided by leaders of of a world government yet to be named,) in order to subsidise underdeveloped countries. That sounds like a perfect plan to equalise the wealth on the world scale, that is "communism" with a new name.

What happened to Rudd`s inaugural speech to talk to everyday Aussies, remember that?

What then, iif your rural property or manufacturing business can`t buy or trade these bonds. Bankruptcy, unemployment and all our export trade will be the consequences.Australia`s contribution to the world`s pollution is, I believe, to be 0.03% and we are going to be contributing 6 billion,to the heaviiest polluters in China, India, etc.

Add my name to the list too, I am against any new taxes especially when they don't even have conclusive evidence or for that fact any real proof of exactly what they are taxing nor have they said what they are going to use this extra money for.
We are already taxed both through income tax and the G.S.T. If the powers that be can't ballance a budget with what they already reap then someone else should be doing the job, after all they are supposed to be elected by the people FOR the people.
It's allright for them sitting in their air conditioned boardrooms throwing around new ways to make a quick dollar out of us.
Also, if the top officials can't understand the Copenhagen treaty...Why on EARTH would they just sign the country away... It's abuse of our forefathers hard earned civil rights and ours on a scale never seen in my lifetime.

Global/Climate Change is a foolish theory - the Earth's Climate can never remain static - we are affected by whatever is happening out in our Solar System & the Universe.

Man-made or human influenced climate change change is a hoax.
The ETS is another attempt by a big spending government to lumber the business and house-hold sectors with new forms of taxation.
With the economy so fragile new government impositions could cripple it completely.
Perhaps that is the ultimate aim so that more powerful interests can gain control over world trade, finances and GOVERNMENT.
Perhaps KRudd imagines himself to be a 'player' in all of this.
So-called man-made climate change, or at the very least, Australia's part in it is nothing but a con-job.

i agree with this petition, as our Nation's Sovereignty is ALSO at stake here, with the imminent signing by Kevin Rudd of the Copenhagen treaty

Peter Hartcher - an Australian journalist and the Political and International Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald - stated recently that Kevin Rudd is betraying the people of this country......and i agree with that ! IF you Google the word *treason*, Wikipedia states QUOTE:"In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's *SOVEREIGN* or nation" UNQUOTE. Betrayor -----> Traitor -----> Treason in law......

Kevin Rudd in my mind is committing an act of TREASON if he gives away the SOVEREIGNTY of this nation by signing the treaty at Copenhagan in December.

shouldn't our Governor General be doing something about this ???

As traders on the international economy, we can not possibly impose this additional tax on our primary producers to remain competitive...until the whole world decides that this is the action required to take, then back off Australia, because this will result in unnecessary unemployment, and absolutely no reduction in the state of the environment.

I am 91 yrs of age (I have asked my daughter to post my comments). I was born in 1918 & have seen the weather change all the time. Some years the weather is warmer & sometimes the weather is colder. I dont believe we are making the weather hotter because we use a lot of Coal etc. I have lived to see terrible droughts, floods, Cyclones, huge storms - spread out over my 91yrs. The weather has always been fickle. ETS I think is a terrible idea. I think Mr Rudd is making a big mistake. It makes me feel very sorry for younger people, Australia is such an expensive place to live, the cost of living just keeps going up & up. I don't know how families can survive today,everything is so expensive. No wonder marriages are falling apart, to much stress on the Parents to provide for their Familys. I have many elderly friends who are really struggling to survive with the cost of everything & the ETS is going to make it much harder for everyone to pay their bills & buy food, unless you are very rich. Pensioners do not have deep pockets & we have to budget carefully. I get very angry with Politicians they dont care about people anymore.

Kevin Rudd does not have the authority to sign a treaty on our behalf.
To date he has not even bothered to tell us that a draft treay is in existence.

I do not support the ETS and do not want Australia to sign up to Copenhangen. The climate data since 2003 do not support the global warming climate models and the theory is becoming weaker. In the meantime China and India have cancelled out on Copenhagen. Australia would do nothing to change the amount of C02 on the planet, but the ETS would be economically devastating for us and future generations. Lord Monckton warns of loss of sovereignty for the signatories to Copenhagen as the agenda is to set up a one world government. The risks are far too great to proceed. It would be climate madness!

The ETS and the hyped up global warming nonsense has been force-fed to the general public for a number of years now. Enough is enough. No amount of money will stop the normal natural progression of the world's climate which goes from cold to hot to warm and back again. DO NOT SIGN ANY ETS RUDD - it will be death to our Australian way of life.
As for the Copenhagen Treaty, thanks to Lord Monkton for so eloquently putting into words what we have all feared - a move away from Australia's democracy into a world government where we as a country have no rights other than those 'granted' to us by a one-world-order communist-like government.

have agreed on the position of climate change , global warming and rising sea waters. It would appear that the Primie Minister Rudd has been mis-informed. According to the eminent scientist Professor Richard S.

The egomaniac Kevin Rudd, smooth talking, non-scientific, the worst leader of this wonderful country of ours does not have our mandate to sign anything in Copenhagen. We Australians do not want to be a part of this communist plot. Stop global communism!
The best communnist call in the 1950's was: "We order the rain and wind"
and the next best one: "Who is not with us is against us".
Doesn't this mania with Climate Change remind you of these two above?
The Climate Change is simply an unscientific madness created by those who want to be in control of the whole planet. This is bigger and better than Hittler, Napoleon, or any other power hungry monster of the past. Every madman from the past always relied upon the masses following something they did not understand and were scared of. Fear is a common denominator of control over masses.

Stopping any climate change is about as likely as changing the weather - if Rudd was trying to tell people he could stop floods, cyclones, etc no one would even listen, so why do they listen to talk of trying to stop climate change (which was happening long before humans learnt to use fire - let alone the industrial revolution).

An ETS can do nothing. Also as a sceptic I resent the attitude by the other side and the media which tries to label us as anti social.
I can find nothing in the way of plausible scientific theory or experimentally obtained results which demonstrate how minute changes in the CO2 content of our atmosphere can make a difference.

From what i have read, it seems that scientists are divided over the issue of climate change being linked to carbon emissions and any perceived global warming may just be due to natural, cyclical phenomenon. It is fact that there has been no increase in global temperatures in the last decade, despite increased carbon emissions.
Surely common sense dictates that we should not enter into any extremely costly schemes or treaty when the link is, at best, uncertain and according to many scientists just plain wrong.

It is utterly ridiculous and ludricous for the Australian Government to introduce this new TAX (in the guise of an an ETS) as it is totally unproven that it will reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by even one gram.
Additionally, if there is a global warming crisis (although it would seem that there is stilll very considerable conjecture on this matter), it is most unlikely that it is CO2 alone which is causing what might best be termed 'unusual variations' in our climate. Any scientist worth his salt will tell you that there are MANY other so-called pollutants in the atmosphere (including methane and water vapour), which have a very significant 'greenhouse effect'. But apparently we need don't need to worry about their influence nor put a tax on them...!
Even the 'climate-change' term now used instead of global warming (seemingly because since 1998 global temperatures have NOT risen!) is ironic in itself. Do the led-by-the-nose green disciples of the Labor Party really think that the climate is or ever was CONSTANT...?!

The ETS scheme is based on a lie and unfound science for the benefit of privately owned globalism, which is determined to take away all our liberties as free men. The International Copenhagen Treaty is a ruse to force a non elected world communist type government down our throats. The unelected members of the United Nations will use all the brute force necessary to have individuals comply with their draconian orders. This is reminiscent of Joseph Stalin and the cruelty and barbarism of the slaughter of over 40 million Russians.
There are 4 boxes of freedom. The soap box, ballet box, jury box and last but not least is the ammo box. For the sake of Australia and its future oppose KRudd as he is a sycophant of the One World Order.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant for a start. The very idea of this is simply trading in thin air. In other words it is a tax by any other name. It is so many other things, than anything to do with "climate change" e.g. another product to tax us on, social change (they are trying to make us feel guilty about using electricity & water so that we will change our habits rather than building new Power Stations & Dams). I could go on but I think you are getting my point.
It is also about time we had an alternative at the ballot box rather than just Labour (notice the u?) & Labour "Light".

Carbon Credits is an outrageous scam. The secrecy around this little parley in Copenhagen is its greatest indictment. Politicians in the main, work for Banksters and big corporations and haven't listened to, or served the interests or welbeing of the Australian people for the last 40 years. I've said for many years, now, that this kind of protest is a waste of time, but the frustration of seeing nothing but evil emanating from our parliaments with the signing of treasonous and even illegal international agreements without the approval or knowledge of the Australian people has initiated this note. I feel so sad that the mountain of hard evidence showing the cover - up of the complicity of police and parliaments in the murder of our own people to further a political agenda - has been hushed up.
This may also serve as an open letter to Mr Joyce - that if he is as genuine as he would have us believe - he will declare in the Federal Parliament that we must have a Royal Commission on Port Arthur - AND FOLLOW IT UP!

Stick it to them Barnaby!

You just might save the Nats, by speaking your truth and honestly serving the voices of those most connected to Mother Earth. Don't mistake the fact that we are experiencing "Climate Variability" and that we need to prepare.

We DON"T need more ridiculous taxes, what we NEED is recognition and political support for the practical decentralised ways for society to live within a sustainable ecological footprint. We should be sequestering more of the greenhouse gases back into our landscape to help build ecological resilience to a more extreme and challenging climate.

Governments in Australia are NOT serious about climate change; if they were they would be working with farmers on smart ways to sequester greenhouse gases practically, encouraging local food networks, renewable energy, decentralised infrastructure, etc.; instead of exacerbatiing the situation by giving 150% tax concessions to dodgy MIS schemes to take prime agricultural land out of production and continuing to open coal fired power stations on the promise of "clean coal" technology.

I am a pragmatic environmentalist, that has been leading by example since founding the Cloncurry Landcare Group in 1988 and have been at the leading edge of hundreds of environmental campaigns in Queensland including woody weeds, stocking rates, kangaroo management, erosion control and plant regeneration, the great artesian basin, rotational grazing, dams, aquaculture, vegetation management, climate variability, acid sulphate soils, salinity, sodicity and scalds, permaculture, agriforestry, biodynamics and food security.

It is obvious to me that we are witnessing a change in the weather patterns; so we need to get practical about meeting the challenge this poses humanity (as it presently exists).

We cannot afford to assume we know the cause of the sudden climate variability; it is likely that the impact that humanity is having on the Earth is having an impact, but i don't buy the Al Gore hypothesis that we know it's the greenhouse gases primarily. Let's hear from the numerous respected scientists whose voices are not being hear.

A Cenralist (New World Order) Institutions taxing the people who feed the world is madness. Kevin, Malcolm and there corrupt banking mates clearly want to make money while destroying the people who feed our nation.

And to use global warming, of which the science is a joke, as a reason is totally unacceptable.

I am sick of politicians telling us constantly that black is white. We need public debate and referenda on something like the ETS that will have such a dramatic impact on our way of life.

Rudd believes this a fait accompli well it isn't.
Misinformation and the intransigence of Wong et al to hear of anything other than what the government's decided smells of something not right.

There is an agenda here that is more than just the ETS. Part could be Rudd's ego, but, I suspect that here is the attendant pain associated with the government spending us out of the GFS.

A tax is a tax is a tax and nothing they do to disguise it will change what it is.

There are many alternatives to the power generation and fuel we need that are clean and the state and federal governments are slow to support these.

What they should be doing is buying in on these technologies to fast track them rather than have their developers go through the difficulty of sourcing funds internationally in the current climate.
Give the Austarlian people the opportunity to benefit sooner rather than later from these.

I vehemently object to any attempts by Rudd to make us the guinea pig in this unproven scheme.

We can see that we will make no impact on the global situation so why not wait and see which major player puts their hand up to be the first to sign this agreement.

It stated that there was no scientific evidence that human emissions had any impact on the climate.

The ETS is a complete waste of time and money.

To theHonorable Members of The Australian Senate:Dear Members, I bring to your attention that the third country to launch a satellite was Australia. It measured the Earth's albedo - the energy our earth is sending out into space. I further refer you to the interview of Lord Monckton by Alan Jones in which current measurements of the earth's albedo clearly indicate the claimed man made "Global Warming" is untrue. Hence a carbon tax is not necessary. Iit would be a huge burden to Australians for no reason. It is not in Australia's interest and I ask that Senators who care about our Country reject this bill outright.
Further in light of the revelations made by Lord MoncKton to Alan Jones it appears that the Copenhagen Conference uses "Climate Change" as an excuse to get World Leaders together to sign a treaty that would take away National Soverienty and put us under a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT run by the J Communist United Nations. This cannot be in Australia or any other Countries inerest. Hence I request Honourable Members of the Senate to forbid Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to sign any thing at all at Copenhagen for such action would be treason. I have been told that TREASON has been taken from the Statute Books. That is not possible.
Finally: should these matters happen I wish it to be known by you all that I do not accept that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd can sign away our National Soveriegnty on my be half.The Prime Minister claims to be a Christian: It is time he studied The Scriptures.
# Ann Jones
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:20 AM
Thank God we have a person like Barnaby who stands up for the Australian people and exposes the Rudd government, in my opinion, as one of the most deceitful governments our country has experienced. The ETS is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth from rich to poorer countries. It has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. Human emissions accounts for 15 parts of 1 million parts. A drop in the ocean.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:22 AM
I support this petition, and I do NOT support the governments attempts to force the ETS on us the people.

INVENT A SCARE!!!!

This is a scare campaign of global proportions whose subject is taken up in an impassioned way by all those who want a better world but what it's actually designed to do is create a World Government to make decisions supposedly in our best interest.

I have just heard Alan Jones' inteview with Lord Monckton where he spells out in chilling terms what signing this treaty actually means.
A World Government to be created whose powers will include the
ECONOMIC
FINANCIAL
TAX and
ENVIRONMENTAL control of the countries who sign this treaty.

This will be bigger than the EU and will have the power to go over the head of elected governments to impose its will.

THERE IS NO GET OUT CLAUSE ONCE SIGNED!!!!

ONCE IN THAT'S IT!!!!

THEY WANT CONTROL OF ALL FREE MARKETS!!!!

THIS WILL BE A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP!


They can take over our constitution!

There is not one mention in this document about elections, ballots, referenda etc.

You can't access a copy of the document!

Rudd hasn't mentioned anything about it in the last 6 months yet it's almost upon us!

WHERE IS THE DOCUMENT FOR US TO VIEW?
WHY HAVEN'T WE BEEN SHOWN WHAT IT ENTAILS?

Recent studies concluded that the human contribution to global warming was only 1/6th of total emissions of CO2 and the gases were escaping our atmosphere at about the same level as they always have.

PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!

I petition the Senate to reject the ETS tax outright.

Australia holds the majority of the World's uranium and nuclear power plants are significantly safer now.

I call on the Rudd Government to actually reduce carbon emissions by closing down coal-fired power stations as they build nuclear power stations ($3b each), and bring other alternate energy sources (geothermal, solar, wind etc.) online.

With just over 400 nuclear power stations world-wide, it seems odd that the country with the most uranium doesn't have even one.

It seems to me with approx a decade of global cooling now recorded that the jury is still out amongst the scientiific community and media hype on whether we are experiencing global warming or just a cyclical change of wheather.

I agree with others above that we should be investing in reducing pollutuiion and planting more trees but it seems to me that an ETS does little if anything to reduce pollution and places a hugh burden on the taxpayer with little benefit and once introduced, with the government sure to reap some more taxes from its introduction, we will never see it removed.

I am also completely opposed to rushing to sign the Copenhagen treaty as it seems to have much more than a worrld pollution reducing agenda and I cannot fathom why Kevin Rudd, who obviously is an intelligent person, is rushing to take us down this road. Maybe he is looking towards a high ranking UN position after politics in Australia???

So far he has done very little if anything of substance to improve Australia and Australians , failing health, third world road transport, and many , many unfulfilled promises. I am concerned at the way he is manipulating and dictating to this this nation, even going so far as to gag some CSIRO Scientists or any other governmental agency who have evidence that global warming isn't happeneing !!!! now that's a worry, he has surrounded himself with condescending yes men and woe betide if any of his "Staff" of which nearly 50% have resigned, I wonder why ??? ,have opinions that differ to his on this subject .We have what can be ebst described as the best show pony in this nation's history, that about sums up our fearless leader.

We are not causing the world's climate to change through any of our pollution. I don't consider carbon and methane emissions to be polluting, neither are they causing our climate to change. What we call climate change is only the visible evidence of known solar cycles with a period of several hundred years.

There should be no carbon trading scheme. Weather patterns are becoming erratic but there is credible evidence that we are not causeing it. But as usual governments will do anything to grab a hidden tax. If the majority of the country is so worried let them go and spend the $30000 or so to solar power their house or buy an electric car but doubling the price of electricity won't make anyone stop using it. or instead of borrowing money to build school buildings and other useless projects which won't create jobs after the schemes are completed the government could of used the money to further subsidise solar or nuclear power which is proven to be safe now. Although I am against any government involvement generally but in this case we have no choice. The ETS will cost jobs and masively raise the cost of living, it will raise taxes for the government and make a handful of carbon traders wealthy, once again it is the non productive areas of the community that will benefit the most at the expense of the producing community.

We believe that the Liberal Party SHOULD NOT NEGOTIATE with the PM
on man made global warming - period.
The majority of Australians DO NOT AGREE with this so called man made global
warming drivel.
The polls supporting this are pure spin.
Australians want an alternative position to Labor on ETS/COPENHAGEN/GLOBAL
WARMING issues.
Currently The Liberals are betraying the conservative voters of Australia.
They seem to be Labor stooges.

The only party which currently supports the majority of us is the NATIONAL PARTY!!!

The Liberals ought to go out and speak and listen to Australians, instead of
listening to the very vocal and radical MINORITY.
Their leader MALCOM TURNCOAT has made a serious error of judgement.
He even admits in an interview on radio, to supporting this COPENHAGEN agreement,
but has not even read the draft!
Rudd has also admitted the same!

The fact that the proponents of this man made global warming theory now term
it Climate Change instead of Global Warming is understandable due to the
Earth's COOLING.

The following story is very enlightening regarding so called man made
climate change.-

"http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2009/10/06/antarctic-ice-melt-at-lowest-levels-in-satellite-era/"


Where are the headlines? Where are the press releases? Where is all the
attention? The ice melt across during the Antarctic summer (October-January)
of 2008-2009 was the LOWEST ever recorded in the satellite history.
So much for global warming.
Seems like very selective reporting by the media in the global brain washing
campaign.
Only ONE SIDE is ever presented and NO TRUE DEBATE has ever been entered
into.
Any dissenting view is ridiculed - this attitude is insulting to people's
intelligence to say the least.
Have a listen to this interview with a highly qualified scientist who
prepared some of the IPCC papers.

http://www.4bc.com.au/blogs/michael-smith-blog/deconstructing-global-warming/20091104-hxsw.html

Read the document "The-madness-of-ETS.pps" (http://www.jimball.com.au/The-madness-of-ETS.pps) and checkout the list of
over 30,000 highly qualified scientists worldwide on this (
http://www.petitionproject.org/) web site.

Have a look at this document to see how we will be living in the future if this ETS(Extra Tax System/Employment Termination Scheme) is passed:-

"http://www.lavoisier.com.au/articles/climate-policy/science-and-policy/backtothe19C.pdf"

It is interesting that Al Gore is not a scientist and stands to earn
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS from the companies he has established to trade in
carbon!
Why won't Mr. Gore take up the challenge and debate the issue?

http://www.globalwarmingheartland.com/expert.cfm?expertId=349

http://www.forecastingprinciples.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=130#Benchmark_paper

What is he afraid of?
Why is his word taken as gospel?
He is nothing but a failed Politican.
Why does he reside in an enormous mansion in the US which consumes HUGE
amounts of electricity? If he is genuine I hope that it is all derived from
alternative power sources.
I hope he is not eating methane producing MEAT.
What about the pollution he causes by jetting around the world on aeroplanes
promoting his agenda?  All that jet fuel.
Now he is advocating CIVIL UNREST to achieve his agenda. TERRORISM!
How much do world governments stand to make from this additional tax on
humans? What a great source of revenue to repay the debt from the global
financial crisis.
Also Mr Garnaut is an economist not a scientist.
The government will decimate Australia's economy with the stuff that Mr Rudd
& Ms Wong are pushing on the public and media.
It's about the money.
Over 7 BILLION DOLLARS of Taxpayers money per year will be given away per
year if the COPENHAGEN TREATY is signed by Mr Rudd.
What about Australian Hospitals, Roads, Social Services etc.

Charity begins at home!
Have a look at the draft COPENHAGEN treaty here:-

"http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2009/awglca7/eng/inf02.pdf"

The Earth's climate has always changed since creation and will continue to
do so regardless of how much citizens are taxed back into the STONE AGE.
We are expected to be convinced of man made global warming from people who
can't even accurately predict the weather for the next day.
Lord Christopher Monckton successfully prevented Gore's film from screening
in Britain. The legal system was obviously not convinced by the global
warming movie which contained over NINE GLARING ERRORS.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23416151-details/Judge+attacks+nine+errors+in+Al+Gore%27s+%27alarmist%27+climate+change+film/article.do

Unless citizens are able to pressure their governments to not sign the
agreement at the December 2009 summit, UNELECTED WORLD GOVERNMENT and large
transfers of wealth from developed countries to undeveloped ones will
result!
Effectively this carbon trading will result in a WORLD TAXATION SYSTEM, an
essential element for a WORLD GOVERNMENT!
This seems to be the upshot of it all. First create a mythical problem,
Second brain wash the public and engender a feeling of guilt about it, Third
tell them that to ease their guilty conscience they need to pay more tax.
Why has this "WATER VAPOUR POSITIVE FEEDBACK" TRICK been used to MANIPULATE
the climate models the IPCC use such that they show an increase in global
temperature with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide when NASA
experimental evidence proves this is not true?

"http://www.quadrant.org.au/magazine/issue/2009/10/climate-modelling-nonsense"

What about the comments made here:-
/

Which phrases from the quoted documents are untrue???
It seems to be about control also.
Why is the CSIRO attempting to gag one of its highly qualified scientists
because he has alternative evidence from what the government wishes the
public to believe?

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/health-science/csiro-bid-to-gag-emissions-trading-scheme-policy-attack/story-e6frg8gf-1225793355139

Scientists who do not want to agree with this man made global warming theory
have their government funding cut.
This to me is very suspicious. Science has a right to be UNBIASED and their
conclusions should not be influenced by government policy. This is an
influence of a vested interest!
It is about FACTS not BELIEF.
It is not a new religion that one believes or does not believe in.
Why hasn't the Australian Government been transparent, honest and
informative to the electorate about the cost to our society of both the
proposed ETS and the implications for Australian Sovereignty in signing the
COPENHAGEN TREATY in December? We should be concerned about what is NOT
BEING TOLD TO US.
Many diggers fought and died over the years to preserve Australia's
Sovereignty, yet here we are poised to sign some of it away with the stroke
of a pen!

As we approach Remembrance Day and consider the statement "Lest We Forget",
understand that "We Have Forgotten".

I strongly request that Australia does not adopt the ETS as proposed by the Labor Party and that we do not sign the Copenhagen Treaty. There has not been enough discussion about these issues, we have not even been told exactly what is in the treaty. It appears to be more about grandstanding on the world stage by Kevin Rudd and Penny Wong. Get real. Who is going to enforce this ETS? It is surely destined to be rorted. If Wong wants to be serious about cutting emissions, why not subsidize solar panels for every building in Australia, reducing our demand on coal fired electricity and creating many jobs in the process.

This isn't about fighting to keep our farms, or fighting a government tax - it's about taking the opportunity to change our ways, become more attuned to the land we farm and live with.

We want Australia to continue to be a place where we'll have a forward-thinking agriculture industry don't we? We can be sustainable and be farmers.

We have more information at our fingertips today than any other time in history. There is no excuse for ignorance. You can sign this petition if you want to, but I urge you to do more reading on the subject - there are over 1000 papers on climate change submitted to the government every year. Instead of listening to politicians (who apart from being very good talkers, are NOT scientists) listen to people who have dedicated their lives to the subject (www.climatechange.com.au)

Understand more about what you are signing. Understand what chances you're signing away.

The Rudd Government have done nothing to help: in spite of their loud shouting we are still not seeing State or Local Government doing anything constructive eg why are we ALL not recycling? Surely getting things right at home is the first move. Why are we still mining coal and selling it overseas and using it in our own power generation? The reason why because the whole climate change is one huge hoax!! Please do not allow Mr Rudd and Ms Wong to sign this treaty that will only make life for the average person in Australia even more difficult than it is at the present time.

Why has the Boat people thing increased its a smoke screen to keep our focus off the Copenhagen Treaty!!

An Australian start to a repudiation document

Should the Rudd Government force into being, legislation that consigns the Australian citizens to paying for man induced CO2 emissions under the false pretense it is the absolute causation factor of the natural cyclical climate change this globe is experiencing, without a binding, passed, federal referendum, then his government is unconstitutionally acting:

further,

If Kevin Rudd, or his agents, place a signature to the Copenhagen treaty, or any like and associated document there prescribed, without the express permission of the parliament of Australia, its citizens, via a binding, passed, federal referendum, at the point the writing, or mark implement touches such document, Rudd and his Agents, will be deemed non-persona-grata and any action there-after taken, will be deemed ultra-vires (Beyond his/their powers) and as such, will lend no legal force, nor binding, of any kind, to Australia's International obligations, than was in force prior to such attempted illegal act.

Further

Should Kevin Rudd persist without the democratic permission of the citizens of Australia, as given by such a democratically required federal referendum, then Kevin Rudd and his Agents, will have comitted an act of Treason against this, our Nation, Australia.

Such an actl, without the known and public will and permission of the Australian citizens via such a referendum, will unequivocally, be an act of betrayal of the entire Australian population and an act, of illegally acquiescing Australian sovereignty to a foreign power and hence be deemed nothing other then an act of attempting to over throw the power of "All Australian Governments" and its "Citizens" and thereby, an act of treason against this nation, punishable by and under the laws of this Nation.

In fact I believe it does the opposite so what does that say about the Rudd Government? Misguided, mistaken and incompetent to say the least but nevertheless very, very wrong. I suspect the Rudd/Gillard/Wong troika is not telling the people the whole truth about the ETS or Copenhagen.

Take away our sovreignty, put it in the hands of others to control in a so called world government, I dont think so; P.M. you are employed by us to do what is best for this country; stop strutting around like a Peacock and get of that world stage because we are not applauding. Listen to Barnaby, you will learn something. No ETS and no signature in Copenhagen, start putting your energies into Programmatic Specificities in order to get things like the financial, health, policing, schools, infrastructure policies to mention but a few,operating in a way that we justifiably expect, given the amount of tax you take from us.

The proposal to introduce a tax on carbon dioxide is flawed at the most fundamental level. There is no, repeat no, credible evidence that variations in atmospheric CO2 levels in any way drive climate. Legislation based on this demonstrably false premise can only proceed on the basis of ignorance, in spite of the hysterical rhetoric of its supporters.

Australia, and the rest of the world, will suffer immense economic and political damage if the Copenhagen Treaty is signed, and legislation enacted to ostensibly control CO2 emissions.

I agree with Barnaby Joyce’s opposition to this treaty as well as his stance against this stupid, ill concieved CPRS nonsense which exposes the complete arrogance and lack of sound reasoning on the part of this government. Far from acting in the national interest this is doing the exact opposite. Australia deserves better.

To the honourable members of parliament

Please listen to your constituents regarding the serious concerns we have with this scheme and so called "science" that is being used to support its implementation. I am concerned about our environment. However, I fear that this scheme will do nothing to preserve our environment but will rather add to the economic burden already borne by working families in this country.

You are applying the same tactics that the oppposition did with workchoice and I will vote against you if it goes to a double dissolution, as it will cost as many, if not more jobs.

This isn't about fighting to keep our farms, or fighting a government tax - it's about taking the opportunity to change our ways, become more attuned to the land we farm and live with.

We want Australia to continue to be a place where we'll have a forward-thinking agriculture industry don't we? We can be sustainable and be farmers.

We have more information at our fingertips today than any other time in history. There is no excuse for ignorance. You can sign this petition if you want to, but I urge you to do more reading on the subject - there are over 1000 papers on climate change submitted to the government every year. Instead of listening to politicians (who apart from being very good talkers, are NOT scientists) listen to people who have dedicated their lives to the subject (www.climatechange.com.au)

Understand more about what you are signing. Understand what chances you're signing away.

We've only really had a proper understanding of science evolving over the past three hundred years or so. Geologists can tell us that we had an ice age ten thousand years ago, and it wansn't the first. What if all this panic over climate change turns out to be the natural turn of events that all the ETSes they can think of is not going to alter things one bit. Just let nature take its course and work out ways to adapt to the changes. To my mind the greatest current problem facing the planet is a growing overpopulation and our potable water resources. In the meantime I support Sen. Joyce's petition.

Please add my name to your petition.
Any global warming, which has now become global cooling, is part of a natural cycle
As Prof Bob Carter nicely put it ...
"Remarkably, given the expenditure and effort spent looking for it since 1990, no summed human effect on global temperature has ever been identified or measured. Therefore, the human signal most probably lies buried in the variability and noise of the natural climate system. "

Also note that RURAL Australia has not warmed in the last 100 years.
http://www.newsweekly.com.au/articles/2009oct31_c.html

It's worth noting that warming is only evident in urbanised climate stations.
So it's mostly, if not all, urban heat island effect.

And please pass on my congratulations to senator Nick Minchin for putting the alarmists in their place on Four Corners last night.

As a scientist of some 42 years, with all the knnowledge I learned at high school and university about he properties of gases in industrial situations and rge atmosphere being reinforced by working around underground coalmines and the gas induxtry, I consider that the people of the world are being scammed by zealots. Al Gore is only about tje money. Tim Flannery only wants to sell doom and gloom books Many scientists have set liittle university or government funded climate science empires wjere they are defending their empires, there lovely sinecures using short term selective information in so called "computer Models" that are nothing more than computer games from which they chose the most extreme forward projection, Ian Plimer and Bob Carter have spoken out and are supported by thousands of scientists who do not seem to be able to get the air time of strident climate alarmists such as Greenpeace, WWF, and other green groups. The ABC is highly biased in its presentations of climate issues. They never seek comment of news items about climate from climate realists, but always readily cut to some Greenpeace of other green zealot. Mr Garnaut has prepared a mass of very impressive figues set on a false base of loose sand. He has ignored the science issues, accepted extreme doom and gloom proposals and earned himself a high profile and large sums of money. Humans contributions of CO2 to the total system may be as high as 2-2%. CO2 is 1 1/2 time heavier than oxygen and nitrogen (20% and 79% of the atmosphere) and si constantly falling out of the atmsopher and sinking into the ground and sinking into and dissolving into the oceans. This is a very large removal mechanism of CO2 which is not taken into account by the climate alarmists. Where microbiological activity has been established in soil profiles by composting and certain other fertiling activities in the agricultural industry, CO2 is actively absorbed by these processes as a form of "carbon sequestration" - which is really an unnecessary term.

The logic of the ETS is flawed even according to the people who propose it.
Use of the "market" which they attack (rightly) to set a price?
Banks and all the same spivs who caused the recent issues are salivating at the chance to make money trading bits of paper.

Fight the fight Barnaby because it looks like no-one else has the courage to take on the new Spanish inquisition that is the Climate Change monster.

We have the right, and we demand the right to read and understand this treaty and all its implications prior to any agreement taken on our behalf by this enept government. You do not have my trust or my permission to proceed

You made no mention of this UN treaty associated with your ETS during the election campaign.

Do worry about the Australian workers who will loss their jobs and the higher taxes associated with the ETS, your working your way up to a nice little job at the UN. You will probably do ok at the UN - they do nothing other than talk (no action) - just like you and your do nothing government.

Being a student for Cert IV Organic Agricultural Production (TAFE Rural Skills
Armidale NSW) I am strongly against the ETS. But that doesn't stop us
from seeking more environmentally friendly energy supplies and fuels, etc., including water conservation in soils and homes. By improving the fertility of our soils to improve animal and human health we will benefit in the long run.
Carbon sequestration in soils is not acknowledged and the proposed methane
gas tax on cattle & sheep is ridiculous. Human activities enhance natural occurring CO2 levels but it sounds like a King Canute caper to think we can
alter the climate. I've just installed a rainwater tank and connected to toilet and washing machine, the government rebates are worthwhile to consider should cover 75 % of the cost of installation? I avoid insecticides and herbicides and encourage our Governments to subsidize farmers (like in
UK) to switch to more organically based agricultural methodology. Takes about 5 years to adapt.

I am strongly against an Emissions Trading Scheme and Australia signing the proposed Copenhagen Treaty or any other international treaty for dealing with climate change.

I am against any tax or carbon trading associated with controlling climate change. Scientific proof is an oxymoron as the nature of scientific study is to form hypotheses with available facts and set out to prove or disprove, adding new fact and readjusting theories as more facts come to light. I support educating industry and individuals to be responsible for reducing pollution and the waste of our resources.

I believe all countries should be encouraged to work together but no international treaties should be formed or signed.

The CPRS will destroy the Australian economy and do nothing in relation to AGW, as AGW is a myth.
The Copenhagen Treaty cannot be accepted by our Government as its terms impact Australia's Sovereignty, hence constitution, and therefore must be decided by the voters via a referundum.
I'll be voting National at the next election.
# Jay

For Australia to lead the way with a ETS trading scheme and NO economic modeling is bordering on foolish.

Over 80% of Australians are aware of the ETS but does anyone know the cost to each family, to which the answer is NO, so why does such a scheme need to be rushed through Parliament ready for Copenhagen.

In brief, Carbon trading will cost the Australian family big dollars with no clarity on actual benefits to the climate. Without the biggest polluters around the world adopting the ETS just ensures exporting will diminish but goods and services will significantly increase.

Kevin Rudd’s wants to lead the world in ETS but then again with his personal wealth why not, it certainly won’t effect him !

# John Lewis

An ETS will do nothing. The big polluters will continue and will simply purchase carbon credits. The end user of the product will pay. It will not cost the polluters so there will be no incentive for them to change.
The scheme needs a major rethink if it is to work. The Copenhagen Treaty is unsafe and may impinge on our sovereignty.

I say NO. Please don't sign.

I oppose the proposed ETS, and regard the Copenhagen Treaty as possibly, the most contrived act ever imposed on the world. Why has so little been explained about it to the public of Australia. In a random check around the office, most had heard of the Copenhagen meeting and knew it had something to do with an ETS, but that was all. I do not think that the general public has any idea of the importance of this treaty.
Thanks Mr Joyce for all your efforts to stop this thing.

# Ian Wills
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 10:36 AM
I am extremely concerned about the future of our Planet Earth but believe the new mantra of greenhouse gas being the cause of drastic change is wrong and my extensive reading supports this. Look at the root cause- Clearing of the Earth's Forests, wasteful demand, and so on. In the final analysis it is too many people wanting to live in the American style consumer society. In the 1950's there were about 2.5 billion people on Earth now there is about 7 billion. For that I have no answer but know that an ETS or any action at Copenhagen that does not address reality(or the real inconvenient truth) is pointless and just an exercise in political grandstanding. Stand up to the spin Barnaby. All the best in your endeavours.

One sizable volcanic eruption (as has happened in recent history and will happen again... (i.e. Krakatoa C.1883))... and anything/everything that mankind has generated pales into insignificance!
The ETS is just another tax. The Copenhagen Treaty, yet another attempt at global government + tax! (Ref. articles by Lord Christopher Monckton).
Recall the massive problem the world HAD with the Ozone Holes/depletion, odd has this has all gone away, now that (for example) the DuPont company has made a fortune out of selling the proprietary refrigerant gas replacement for CFC's.
Odd too, how Al Gore (who stands to gain considerable financial benifit from his interests in "green" solutions) will not participate in ANY public debate to defend his claims.
# Geoff Gerlach

I vehemently object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty.
We do have climate change which is normal and cyclic. We cannot properly predict climatic movement let alone change it, no matter how much money or technology we throw at it.

As a trained engineer (and someone who understands how the scientific method should work) it's beyond incredulity at how little scientific debate has occurred. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but the speed with which a usually cynical media has accepted the ETS and the global warming scaremongering is scarey. Reputations of many people will be destroyed over the next decade or so as the truth dawns. They will blame the scientists who advised them--sorry, not acceptable.

do not sign the copenhagen treaty & forget the ETS. Climate warming is a natural phenomena & it is not conclusive as to the extent that CO2 emissions are contributing.

"Climate Change" is not man made. Those who promote this are those who gain from its promotion, ignoring the true science of the situation. In the ETS and other similar schemes we are seeking to change the way we do things to stop something that cannot be stopped because it is a natural process. Such schemes will have no impact on the way in which the earth's weather patterns change. Why do we not rather spend resources in assisting those who will be most affected by what we cannot stop? I strongly endorse the petition.

The ETS must be stopped. You have my full support for this petition.

Its introduction will do nothing to alter the climate, will not reduce emissions by any discernable amount, will result in a massive financial imposition on those who can least afford it - being the average person on the street, end up being just another Government imposed tax that will replenish their coffers so that they can distribute some of the monies already promised to the various groups that have made the most noise to date.

Australia accounts for such a miniscule portion of the worlds population and supposed CO2 output that is causing climate change, how can we be taken seriously by the likes of China, India and United States and expect them to comply with a list of demands or else.

The concept of CO2 being a pollutant and something that must be cut immediately because it is a harmful Greenhouse Gas is absolutely ridiculous. CO2 accounts for less than 5% of of all Greenhouse Gases and the amount contributed by Man is only part of this. It is time all of the so called Do-Gooders got real.

This is the pain I have been talking about and hell it will go worse next year leading to a near enough wipe-out .
This government is on it's self-destruction part, secretly channelling more funds for warmongering to the Middle East.!
Further funds going to the ever increasing border control to stop refugee infiltration but this scenario will be unstoppable..!
CLIMATE CHANGE, means AUSTRALIA is totally brainwashed in something that does not exist but used as an alternative subject to extract billions from this nations individuals, workers and manufacturer to pay for a lost War Australia never ever will win..!
Australia will be shortly ruled by Muslims, and the time is nearing fast..!
We people are used and abused by this Labour government that has no fixed long term solution nor strategies planing, yet hoodwink us people big time.
The media knows dam well which side the bred is buttered and nothing is said about the huge daily financial losses in warmongering.
Not only that, Hell Gate has delivered my predicted 'so said natural disasters' in 2009 of many billions of Dollars alone to this country.
The pensioner and the ordinary mum and dad is paying for this, whilst those clowns in parliament blaming each other and continue to follow the sure tracks of self-destructions.
Senator Barnaby Joyce, STOP them from this ongoing nonsens...!!!

# Sam Boatwright
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:07 AM
Everybody needs to be made aware of the full implications if this ETS was implemented. The Rudd Government definitely will NOT be enjoying decreasing unemployment if this scheme / tax is imposed on Australians. We have given away a large portion of our manufacturing base, along with some of our service industries and now the Rudd Government has it's sights on our Primary Industries. We would be crazy to allow additional TAXES to be placed on mining and agriculture.

On another note, has anyone noticed that the term "global warming" has been phased out and replaced with "climate change"? Must be because the world is actually cooling not warming, surely this should sound some alarm bells for "climate change" activists!

You are on the right track Barnaby, keep fighting.......... No to an ETS.

No sympathy for all of the Vested Interests who wont make Money if they do not succeed in implementing this scheme.

Fine - Tackle pollution but in a more considered way.

I do not support the ETS in its current guise and ask that it be held off until a full disclosure and understanding of all the factors inputing the process is known.

True environmental and social benefit can be had today with existing proven commercial technology in renewable energies. Very little incentive money is required, only a long term commitment to energy grid feed in tarrifs along the lines of the German or Spanish model. Multiple global energy companies are lined up waiting for this to occur, but until the tarrifs are guaranteed and in place they will not commit to development in this country.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:18 AM

Thank you Barnaby Joyce for the opportunity to vote NO to the signing of this Treaty or any other like it. Let's keep Australia's control in Australia.

The Carbon trading scheme (ETS) is a con and is nothing more than revenue raising. In the light of Lord Moncktons speech just a few weeks ago, Alan Jones interview soon after and more details provided by Leon Byner on 5AA the Copenhagen Treaty has been exposed for what it is. It is so typical of most of our politicians to stumble in where fools fear to tread. Rudd while being interviewed on 5AA last week, admitted that he knew very little of the Copenhagen Treaty content, but stated that it hadn't been signed yet and wouldn't be drawn any further.

Furthermore, lets fix Australia's problems first, like the Murray River disaster, not give away our Tax Dollars to despots that won't use the money for good in anycase.



# Catherine Howard

I do not endorse an ETS or any other tax provision designed to support the scientifically disproven theory of human-induced climate change (AGW). The instigation of a massive new taxation system in Australia will not change the planet's climate (even if the theory could be supported with evidence). It will create an undeserved and terrible burden on all Australians, limit our prosperity and enslave us and our innocent, forgotten children to unelected corrupt foreign powers. I do not support an unelected 'global communist government' to run my country's affairs especially on the basis of fraudulent 'science' which has since been debunked. NO TREATY & NO ETS.

# Michael and Judy Lewis

I have looked at "the science" and "the statistics" (with help) behind "AGW" which is behind the "IPCC" which is behind "ETS-Copenhagen" and am amazed that it is a "house of cards" - EVERY pronouncement being sourced from a dud computer model (Mann et al) which uses cherry picked "data" which even at its source relies on dendrochronology (annual tree rings) which has a very dubious relationship to temperature.

I have also noticed that the major proponents are either in the ETS business - which includes grant-dependent academics, evangelists with links to commercial ETS projects or politicians - naive or stupid.

And "Copenhagen" has enormous stings within it that remove our sovreignty and commit us to penury. A sort of Communist manifesto.

No ETS!

Another tax is not the way to face the challenges we face in the 21st century. If Rudd & Co really wanted to reduce C02 emissions then they could start by stopping Senator Conroy wasting tax payers money (and carbon) on useless conferences!

It is totally unnecessary as the problem it is supposedly directed at is based on assumptions only, and even if those assumptions were proven to be correct, this ETS would be totally ineffectual.
If CO2 emissions were a matter of serious consequence for the government, then a policy to allow nuclear power stations has to be introduced. At some point in time Australia will embrace such technology, but until then, please stop expecting me to take seriously any policies directed towards mitigating the impact of any climate change whilst nuclear generation of electricity is ignored by selfish and ignorant political party ideology.

Please do not sign away our rights and freedoms to the hopeless UN. Our future generations should not have to bear the burdens both financially and to their individual freedom that signing the Copenhagen Treaty would impose on them. Shame on Rudd. He is clearly only thninking about elevating his out stature on the world stage and he doesn't care about what this will involve for the rest of us. Let him come clean and tell the people that once this treaty is signed it will be binding on all future generations and cannot be undone irrespective of whoever is in government. It is a forever commitment.

Can't we at least hear debate from BOTH SIDES - debate from those disagreeing with global warming being a man made disaster has been stifled. The ETS is just a tax that is designed to redistribute the wealth.

If our manufacturing base and those of the other developed nations become even less competitive than they are now, then more and more manufacturing will go offshore to nations such as China and India who are not signatories to the Treaty but also have very little enviornmental laws. Consequently there will be no reductions in emissions. Just huge taxes and loss of industry for those who sign.

It's time for Rudd to come clean about his motives and allow honest debate from BOTH sides

I do NOT endorse the ETS , It is just another tax and one that this country cannot afford . It will do nothing to reduce so called climate change . Mr Rudd & Ms Wong etc should understand charging all Australians more money in the form of the ETS is not going to save anything . It will just make Australia even more uncompeditive in the world market . . I say NO to ETS & No to the Copenhagen Treaty

I do not support this bill.
I concur with many of the previous posts.
Lets concentrate on all forms of pollution and illegal forest denudation.
Simply moving from coal to gas as a power generator will have a good effect, and nuclear has to be on the agenda.
The ETS as it stands will benefit the financial industry and the tax coffers, but nothing else.

It has no will for the betterment of the earth of anyone in it apart from themselves
We need a government that wants Australia to be Australia; to be strong and for Australia to be the master of its own destiny.

There is nothing to be gained by taxing the end consumer essentially in the HOPE of reducing carbon emissions by a poofteenth of a percent.
NO TO AN ETS OR AN ETS IN DISGUISE!!!
NO TO ANY SORT OF GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!!!

The science is far from settled.
There has never been any significant public debate, only exaggeration, intimidation and one-sided reporting.
Even outright, intentional fraud has been committed - witness the Mann "hockey stick".
The ETS is nothing more than a massive taxation scheme supported by irresponsible, undisciplined governments that have an insatiable appetite for our dollars.
Furthermore, we should never, ever sign any treaty which requires Australia to submit to any UN authority as it is an unelected, unaccountable organisation of which the majority of members are despots and tyrants.

I do not think the ETS will be effective nor do I think it will amount to anything other than an additional tax for the Government to collect. We are already paying too much tax and I'm fed up with the wastage and non futureproofing that purveys all governments in this country. Additionally, I reject completely the draft Copenhagen treaty would encourage the Coalition to do all it can to stop any Australian government giving away our Constitutional Rights to an unelected world body. The whole concept is totally repugnant and we want it stopped.

I am angry at the media for not laughing or at the very least challenging the hyperbole whenever Rudd, Wong, Garrett, etc sprout their meaningless propaganda.

As small group of scientists (mathematicians) we have conducted a review of the available material and have concluded that the earth is not warming, forget about co2 being the cause, that's far more speculative. In fact, the ultimate speculation is that a group of politicians in Canberra can pass laws that will change the climate. This is something that should be in an episode of the Simpsons.

However, I'm completely surprise as to why the Leader of the Opposition, does not realise that one does not cross the bridge before one comes to it, as in the case of the Copenhagen Conference. As for this show pony PM Rudd, his delusion of grandeur (ETS) will be of a cost of such, that such a scheme for our country will impose an enormous debt beyond reach, which will, have wide ramifications for future generations.

No ETS.

The is hole climate change thing is just a tax grab- a con.

Climate change happens everyday of the year. It will as long as there is an earth.

How was a Australia created through climate change. For example, once Tasmania was joined to the mainland by a land bridge then the climate changed, the sea level increased and it be came an island. A changing climate is a part of the evolution of the world.

Barnaby, give them hell. There are so many people out here in middle Australia that would be so happy for The PM to go to an election over this Climate Change issue.

I believe that Labour would be a massively defeated. And tell Mr Turnbull his support for the ETS in whatever form he represents it is seen as him cynically just trying to hold on to his seat.

Re So Called Climate Change.
The Earth has been changing climate for thousands of years.
The evidence is there for anyone to see.
Just to mention one.
"Ostia," the port city for Rome 2 thousand years ago, is now 20 miles inland.
as is many of the world's towns.
The Poles have reversed themselves many time throughout history.
Evidence of this has been found in Aboriginal Camp Fires by Scientists.
All this was done by nature before Man' population exploded.
There is also evidence on Mars of Climate Change.

There are tens of thousands of scientists with qualifications specific to atmospheric science questioning the methodology used by the IPCC.

The major proponents of Climate Change. People often quoted as "experts" such as Gore, Stern, Garnaut, Flannery and Pachauri (Head of the IPCC) have no qualification relevant to the science involved and in fact three of the abovementioned are Economists, one a former Politiciian (now with business interests involved in Carbon Trading) and the other a Paleontologist (now involved in the media and Public Speaking (for large fees) which is perhaps more indicative their real interest in the subject.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 12:34 PM
Not Convinced that sacrificing more money will change climate .

I have signed the petition and posted a link to it on my Facebook page. It is so crucial that this legislation is beat down and never heard from again. How did this lie ever get so much credibility? How did it then build enough credibility that the nation is prepared to hand over its sovereignty? I feel like Mr Rudd is quietly and with a warm smile, raping Australia.

Thanks you so much Senator Joyce. I am so glad that you are willing to stand against this huge injustice. I can honestly say, having discussed this topic with a large number of people, that I can find nobody amongst those I know who support the ETS or even believe that Global Warming is anything other than a normal cycle.

The sky is not going to fall Chicken Rudd - Open your eyes - The Emperor is BUTT NAKED!!!

The war of carbon dioxide has become a fanatical witch hunt headed by the self proclaimed inquisitors eager to hold us to ransom under the guise of the UNCCC COP13.

The only sectors to benefit from this tax are the finance sector that will trade in these derivatives and the government lining its pockets!

Having downloaded and examined the temperature data myself, I have concluded that the Northen hemisphere is warming slightly, whereas the Southern hemisphere temperature appears to be cooling slightly. There appears to be uncertainty in the scientific community regarding the sun. Its output appears to be constant, but we only have 30+ years of accurate satellite data to support that assertion. There appears to be a relationship between low sunspot activity and low temperatures eg the cooling in the Middle Ages when the Thames froze. Given the uncertainty surrounding the whole issue, committing to an expensive ETS could harm our economy for little or no purpose.

Stick to your guns Barnaby - don't allow this tax to pass through. No to ETS, No to Copenhagen Treaty. It is a very sad state of affairs when the Governement chooses to bow to the very vocal minority regarding this issue. I fear for the future of our country and despair at the creeping presence of communism that has been allowed to foster at the expense of common sense. The do-gooders and bleeding hearts really have no idea of the realities of life with many of their pet issues - and have been encouraged by the Government to continue to hound the average citizen to 'conform' to their way of thinking. I'm sorry, but I would like to live in democratic Australia, not a communist banana republic. It makes me very sad when I think of the values that we once had as a Nation have been eroded so quickly by the leftist policies of this current Government. I am also amazed that the population cannot, or will not, see that any form of Carbon Tax is actually a blatant grab for money and will produce nothing of substance. In fact, it is only making money out of hot air. Sure, we need to protect our environment, but the ETS etc. is a death sentence for any form of hope this country has to actually progress into the future. It is no wonder our businesses move offshore to conduct their affairs..... What a joke Australia has turned into.

The ETS is another tax and nothing else. There is much information concerning the alternative view of Climate Change, that has not been revealed yet either by Rudd, Turnbull, and their supporters. That information needs to be freely made available to the public.

To date it has not been and so I reject the ETS without the full scientific rationale debate.

Australia should not "go it alone" by placing a tax on our economy, when other nations do not. Australia should not be funding another Kingdom of UN Administration.

Even if AGW is true - the only outcome from this tax will be the transfer of production and jobs to countries that do not have the ETS. Ironically enough, many of these countries will then produce more REAL pollution than would be made in Australia (due to lax environmental laws in many countries).

The ETS is a form of religious self-flagellation. Punishment to appease guilt without actually achieving anything. In fact, it is worse, as everyone else has to suffer the flogging with Mr Rudd and Ms. Wong.
# John-Paul Lisica
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:14 PM
Many brave persons laid down their life for our freedoms. The ETS is a sham and transfer of power to a centralist world organisation. How many people have sold out for a few peices of silver. There is never any entitlement without obligation and one day the piper will want to be paid.

Whether you believe in man-made global warming (my position) or not, the ETS does not address the issue. Rather, it is a mechanism for wealth transfer, bigger government and more interference in our lives. Twenty years ago the Berlin wall fell because people wanted their freedom. How soon are the lessons of the past forgotton.

I fully support Senator Joyce on this issue, "for we are young and free".

# Andrew Farran
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:15 PM
The ETS legislation as presented to the Parliament is premature and makes questionable assertions as to the scientific case for it. The science of climate change is still in its infancy and needs to be thoroughly tested before huge commitments with gigantic implications for the economy and the tax system are mandated. These as presently foreseen could lead to the undoing of Australia as a sound and stable nation, which it remains at present. The call to make us look good internationally is also premature, indeed a nonsense.

# Kevin Begaud
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:17 PM
Having now heard the interview which Alan Jones had on air recently with Lord Monkton, my wife and I are greatly alarmed that the proposed Copenhagen Treaty should be signed by the Rudd Government. The Draft of this Treaty proposes a one World Government from which signatories will be unable to extract themselves, the object of which is to transfer the wealth of democratically elected western nations to poorer nations as compensation for our carbon emissions via the vast sums of money gathered from the Emmissions Trading Schemes (Taxes) - in our case alone, $50 billion of dollars. Lord Monkton clearly states that recent scientific studies just published, utterly destroys the UN and IPCC arguments upon which their climate change philosophy hinges, and that "climate change" in scientific terms, will soon become a dead issue. Is the Liberal Opposition and its Leader up-todate on this?

We are expecting our Liberal Federal Members, led by the Leader of the Opposition to immediately speak out about this, both in the Parliament and the media. If they are not prepared to take on board the new science re climate change and the views of Lord Monkton re Copenhagen, then we do not believe that they are representing our interests or that of the Australian people and our system of democratic government.

The problem is that both they and the media generally are not prepared to go against the trend to, both, denounce the nonsense that reducing CO2 emissions can alter climate change; and that the ETS is nothing but an enormous tax swindle on the democratic peoples of the world.

Who in their right mind would transfer $billions to the leaders of corrupt socialistic States in the belief that they would honestly utilise the money to reduce CO2, rather than pocket much of it into swiss bank accounts in their own name just as they usually do?

If these facts are openly raised with the Australian public, along with the huge increases we are already seeing in household energy costs, there will be a change in government.

Unless the Liberals get on board, our Senate votes will be going to the Nationals next election.

The ambitions of the proponents , namely K Rudd and P Wong , should also be closely scrutinised. Say no to any ETS concession in Copenhagen!

Sign this petition. The sleeping giant (Australians) are at last awakening to this scam. I come from a long line of Australian farmers since 1849 and I have always been aware of natural changes to the climate. Unfortunately the majority of the population have lost contact with the land and hence many have lost contact with the ongoing climate changes as it does not impact greatly upon their livelihood. Their ignorance has been preyed upon by the perpetrators of the false claim that man kind is causing climate change as many of those perpetrators have vested financial interests. The signing of the treaty in Copenhagen will not have any beneficial advantage to the majority of Australians, but will in fact as many others have posted in their comments in that most Australians will be affected financially to their detriment with no improvement to the so called man kind causing climate change.

Please do not burden the Australian public with an inaffordable tax that will put Australia's economy behind the rest of the world.

This makes me so mad!
The ETS is nothing but a con, Con, CON!!!!
Is CO2 a pollutant? - NO!
• It is odourless, colourless and non toxic
• We all drink it in soft drinks and beer
• It is necessary for life (photosynthesis converts CO2 into O2 and carbon)
Greenhouse gases are 1% of the Atmosphere.
And they are
• Water Vapour 95%
• Carbon Dioxide 3.6 %
• Methane & others 1.5%
• Only 3.4% of the CO2 is human caused.
An ETS in Australia will reduce greenhouse gases by a millionth - the equivalent of reducing a piece of string a kilometre long by one millimetre.
And how much will it cost you and me to reduce Greenhouse gases by one millionth?
Frontier Modelling says it will cost Australia
• $50 Billion per year for 40 years
• That's $4,550 per taxpayer per year.
• An amount of CO2 reduction that everyone agrees will do nothing for the planet.
What will it cost us to reduce all of Australia's emissions?
No one can say exactly, but at the very least 20 times a 5% reduction or$91,000 per taxpayer per year.
And to put that amount of CO2 in context - Every few months China alone
increases its CO2 emissions by as much as Australia`s total amount.
Spain has been moving towards a renewable energy economy and now has 19% unemployment, whilst the real cost of power has risen 100%! Will Australia face the same costs under an ETS?
If this gets voted in, it will mean Australia`s economy will become the equivalent of Cambodia`s within 10 years.
And as for Kevin signing the Copenhagen treaty....
Why does Australia have to bow down to the UN at all when they are rogues? Kevin Rudd has absolutely no backbone to stand up for the good of our country - If he signs this you can say goodbye to all the farmers, food and industry as we know it. If they want us all to become vegetarians, where do they think that our food is going to come from? There will be no farmers left to supply it! And Australia won't have any money to buy in any from other countries - we'll have given it all to the under developed nations - either as donations or as fines! If no one has read the treaty Rudd is itching to sign, then do it - I doubt if he's read it at all - Rudd just wants to be the puppy dog of the big boss - World Government!

There is far too much conflicting information regarding global warming and carbon emissions for me to be comfortable with the governments policy.
I dont believe the government have a mandate to implement an emissions trading scheme as they are claiming. The ONLY clear mandate they gained from their election was to remove work choices.
If the government is so confident in their support of their costituents, lets see if they have the courage to take the ETS issue to a REFERENDUM.

The ETS must be stopped as a massive amount of data exists to show that humans are not responsible for climate change. Solar activity has affected all the planets on the Solar System. This is simply a greed driven conspiracy by a small group of people with vested interests.

Furthermore Lord Monckton's dire warning about the Copenhagen Treaty must be heeded. The people of this country cannot afford a 2% impost on each and every financial transation. These monies will not be given to assist the poor people in third world countries, it will be given to the despots who run them. We are a sovereign nation who must never allow members of a global treaty control our industry, which they would have the legal right to do if the PM signs that Treaty.
# James Macpherson
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:45 PM
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please note our family's opposition to Australia establishing an Emissions Trading Scheme or signing up to any international treaties requiring such. Our opposition is based on the following points:
1. An ETS would be an enormous change to the fundamentals of our economy and is based on science that many believe to be unproven, if not faulty.
2. An ETS would slug Australian industry and families with higher energy bills without making any discernable difference in world temperatures.
3. International Treaties that diminish our national sovereignty or make us beholden to unelected bodies are not in the national interest.

There is a huge difference between supporting general polution reduction goals and this proposed massive grab for control/power by our egomaniac PM & his sidekick P Wong.

I strongly oppose the proposed Australian entry into an Emissions Trading Scheme. Global warming is a scam which will only benefit traders who make a lot of money without creating any value. Offerd to the world by the same team which brought us the Global Financial Crisis and the Enron scandal. Clearly Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but an essential ingredient for life and growth of vegitation. It cannot be demonstrated to be a greenhouse gas.
The proposed Colenhagen treaty is a veiled means of taking control from sovereign governments, the demise of democracy as it should be.
Mr Rudd spent too much time in China studying control of the media and totalitarian government.
Malcolm Turnbull should have more sense than to compromise on this. His merchant banker background gives a window to his priorities.

A resounding NO to the ETRS and the proposed Copenhagen treaty.

mandate for anything this monsterous- The wealth of our country will be shipped overseas to the third world for ever, amounting to billions a year.

Watts up with that

Rudd will sign anything the UN puts in front of him regardless of the damage it does to our country. His PERSONAL AMBITION to be Secretary General of the UN comes first! His program since being elected, the overseas trips to raise his profile with world leaders hitting the phones, signing Kyoto and the GG's vote buying trip to Africa all point in that direction. He wan'ts to take an ETS to Copenhagen so he can soak up the adulation of those who strive for a centralised World order and he will let them know they can rely on him.
# Steven Krivacic

I totaly oppose the governments intention to introduce a carbon tax.
Global Warming is a fantasy that has been proven false. The world is NOT heating up.
Temperatures naturally fluctuate, meteorology records prove this fact.

Australia is presently in drought, water is needed, but governments choose to ignore this, and do nothing (claiming that nothing can be done to improve the situation), while other countries reclaim the desert (China, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Dubai come to mind).
We drain our rivers to service the cotton industry, exasperating the drought, and in turn increase our deserts.

The sky is not going fall on our heads, as the government would like us to believe


To risk Australia's future sovrenty is in my view an act of treason.

I in no way support the Rudd government in its actions regarding the Copenhagen treaty, an ETS or CPRS. All of these schemes are flawed and will not produce the so called benefits to our environment they like to say there are interested in protecting. There is no scientific proof to support this, in fact the scientific proof strongly disproves any link between carbon emissions and what is happening on our planet.

The only result from these will be the financial hardship of our citizens through the raising of prices on virtually everything we use and increased inflation.

It isn't the interests of the Australian people being looked after here.

We're a smart nation Australia, take a look and start demanding the "scientific proof" the politicians try to tell us exists. You won't find it and they can't produce it because the proof shows a very different story.

Farmers are in a prime position to make alot of money from an ETS by soaking up carbon and helping offset the pollution that is destroying our planet in all sorts of ways.

Whether or not you believe humans contribute to climate change the other benefits of reducing carbon emissions are enormous and with an ETS farmers have the chance to profit from offsetting emissions.

Please tell us what happens if you are wrong ? If you are wrong then you are leaving generations after you with a terrible legacy which will far outweigh the short term pain for your constituents. Australia will suffer and you will be responsible.

Dear Mr Joyce, Thanks for the opportunity to have a say. I have personally sent a 34 page scientific/social Treatise to Mr Rudd and Ministers Garrett and Wong regarding this matter, but they have not bothered to respond, or to even negate any of the issues I raised.

The ETS is all "smoke & mirrors" and designed mainly to glorify Mr Rudd internationally, rather than any genuine benefit to Australians as a whole. once this goes through every single product known to man is then able to be given a 'carbon tax' that will be eventually be regulated by overseas interests.

Rudd lost me with his insults at last Fridays Lowe Inst. talk. KRudd is going insane. After not saying anything about Climate Change/Global Warming for 7 months, KRudd goes feral, rebutting global warming sceptics and his critics not with facts, but the most extraordinary abuse and wild claims. How any leader in the Western Democratic world can denounce a high percentage of his electorate (the evil climate change deniers) as "future child killers" is beyond me.
Allowing KRudd's "spoilt brat" opinions to be our representation to the rest of the world is shameful. His outbursts and claims were embarrassing.

This would be the biggest disaster if the Bill is passed through the Senate, good on you Barnaby for sticking up the the average Australian, because there are not many else who are, exception to Cory Bernadi. Jobs will soon leave these shores if this Bill is passed through, every man and his dog can see that. Why would any manufacturing business want to keep their production here where they can send the jobs overseas, manufacture their product cheaper (because it they would move operations to a country that won't have a ETS/Cap and Trade scheme, pay these new workers a lot less than Australian workers, then sell the product back to us, at an increased price to what it was before the ETS came in, citing that because of the ETS their charges have risen and these will be passed on to the end consumer, which is US, the voters who keep you guys in a job!

The ETS leaves the Y2K farce in the shade.
This is a huge con act by Goldman Sachs and ( in Australia) the Union movement. Much of their superannuation money is invested in green energy. This explains Greg Combe's passion.
Congratulations to Barnaby for stating the obvious--a rare feat in Parliament. Vote it down.

Barnaby,

M Turnbull has buckley’s of winning the next election, against K Rudd, particularly if he continues with his belief in climate change, his wishy washy stance on boat people and of course his insistence on a modified ETS.

It's a pity that some within the coalition are ignorant of the importance of CO2 in the functioning of this Planet. CO2 is the most important naturally occurring gas on this Planet. Without Co2 there would be no life of any significance. Plants need it and we get oxygen from the photosynthetic process. To say CO2 is a pollutant defies all logic – that’s another issue.

My feeling is you are the best hope for Australia. Why not go it alone in the next election but take with you the Libs who are dissenters regarding these climate change issues. I would field candidates in every electorate and saturate the media with the truths about the issue.
The other alternative is for Turnbull to be replaced but not with another of his ilk!
As a coalition voter, if Turnbull is still leader come the next election, I’ll vote National as I can’t vote Labor.
Best of luck,
Ross Baker

The Copenhagen Treaty is one of the scariest treaties I have ever read. If our Mr Rudd signs the Copenhagen Treaty (he admits he has not read it) he will be committing high treason by signing our Sovereignty to an unelected private group under the UN control. The disgusting Copenhagen draft treaty mentions world governance (government) and taxes to be paid by the first world, massive penalties for exceeding carbon emissions limits. A country can only withdraw from the treaty if all others agree which would be impossible. The unelected board will control our economy and way of life. Frankly I have never seen a greater threat to Australia's Sovereignty since WW2. I can barley sleep at night knowing what is coming. The ETS and Copenhagen scam treaty must be defeated.

Please everybody contact every politician you can and demand the ETS and Copenhagen treaty be rejected.

There needs to be more investigation into a scheme if at all there needs to be one. All we have been told is that there will be an ETS tax. I've not heard what the tax will be used for or where the money will go. Could it be that this is just another con by the Rudd Government. The amount of emissions produced by Australia are insignificant compared to countries such as China, are they developing a scheme? (tax)

Plant more trees.
STOP destroying what rainforests we have left.
Spend more of taxpayers money on alternate/cleaner/sustainable energy systems.
REDUCE emissions not just tax them.
Any jobs lost in the coal industries could be offset by increased infrastructure spending on Geothermal resources, Wind Generator resources, Solar energy resource development, Tidal and Wave Generation resources, Clean coal technology, countries that have high expenditure in these areas have managed to become carbon neutral.

The ETS has nothing to do with the environment, it is all a money making scam using fear as a control mechanism.

Unfortunately with the voting public of Australia having about as much of an idea as a block of wood. The future is a very bleak place to be.

Thankfully there is still some sanity in the senate. (for how long who knows)

Why is it that blind faith is required to believe in something that the powers at be take as fact? Because it suits them and their salary.

I'm am completely opposed to the farce that is climate change, Can no one remember less than 30 years ago when it was 'proven' that an ice age was on the way.

I don't doubt that these cycles exist, but the arrogance that humans have influence over them enough to change them is just moronic thought processes in action.

Did we the Australian people elect these people into not only the Senate but The House of Representatives to represent US?

True, we owe them respect for the job that they do and the positions they hold, and by addressing them as "The Honourable President and members of the Senate" we duly show that respect. BUT, Your petitioners ASK??..........
.......shouldn't we be INSTRUCTING or INSISTING??

Now, it's not that I want to get up anybody's nose but we elected these people to do a job and when you just sit back, on your hands, and let them get on with it you deserve what you get.

At this internet address http://www.stevefielding.com.au/forums/viewthread/466/

BOMBARD them - it doesn't matter which party they belong to - fill their 'in-boxes' with emails - EVERY DAY!! - EVEN IF IT'S THE SAME EMAIL!! At the very least they have to spend time just deleting them and in doing that it must still register just how many they are getting.

LET THEM KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA ARE NOT 'ASKING' - show your intention to the point of being the biggest nuisance in the history of the planet!!

Say NO to the ETS/CPRS.
Say NO to Copenhagen

AND WHILE YOU'RE AS MAD AS HELL - AND YOU SHOULD BE - Also say NO to Codex Alimentarius due to be ratified on 31st of December 2009.

THIS IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS AGW/ETS/CPRS/COPENHAGEN BS - And it's being very satisfactorily (for them) overshadowed by the big debate on Copenhagen.

Research this subject if you
(1) take any kind of supplements - other than prescribed by your doctor - CA intends to make it illegal to get them elsewhere - they will disappear from shelves everywhere - and guess what?... you will have to pay through the nose for your prescription!!
(2) If you have anything to do with producing organic food - CA intends to drop labelling of all foods because THEY will have already certified all things marketed as 'food' - including herbs and spices!! Getting your organics certified will be impossibly expensive - get the drift?
(3) Think your little vegetable garden is safe? Think again - just go and research CODEX ALIMENTARIUS. ETS/CPRS is not the only avenue for GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!

# John Caro
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 4:29 PM
I write to you to express my extreme concern about the forthcoming Copenhagen United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Whilst I am not entering into the debate on whether anthropogenic climate change is real or not, it is of concern to me about the way the current government is proceeding. I make the following comments:-

1) I believe that those in the Liberal and National parties that oppose the introduction of CPRS and ETS prior to Copenhagen are correct. You (The Coalition) need to stand firm and take a position of leadership on this, and not be afraid of the polls. If you have good people to undertake the research and enunciate to the voting public exactly why this legislation should be rejected, then you should have the courage to take on Rudd should he call an early election. The problem you have here is that Rudd is purely playing politics to destroy the opposition, rather than some altruistic moral stance. Likewise, the opposition should stop playing the politics of appeasement to flawed policy, just to avoid a double dissolution.

2) The ETS is flawed policy. It is too hard to understand (by most people), too easy to manipulate by those that do understand, and is simply a tax on exports and the Australian people. Whatever Australia does will not lower the overall world CO2 levels. In fact, it will probably lead to an overall increase, as industry (e.g. aluminium, cement, petrochemical, steel, agriculture) abandon Australia for less regulated countries such as India, China, S.E. Asia and all of South America. Why on earth do we want to tax export industries that can be regulated, but allow untaxed and unregulated imports from countries that emit the CO2? If CO2 is so harmful, why not regulate it? Industry will adapt, if given sufficient lead time.

3) Of far greater concern to me than the ETS/CPRS, is the fact that Australia is in danger of losing its sovereignty should the various Copenhagen agreements be signed and ratified. I am not sure if the impact of Copenhagen has been raised in the parliament. But it should be and I urge you to do so. There must be full and open information sharing and debate. Have you actually read any of the draft documents from Copenhagen yet? If not, then here is a link, from UNFCC, to one particular document http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2009/awglca7/eng/inf02.pdf . This is a frightening document as it can be interpreted to mean just about anything. The outcome of Copenhagen will be that Australia will have to pass billions of dollars each year to so called undeveloped countries like China and India. Also, in between Australia and these countries, will be sticky fingered organisations like the UNFCC. I can guarantee to you that virtually none, well at least 95%, of the Australian voting population are aware of this.

4) Are you sure the Australian population will be happy about the possibility of Australia being “fined” further billions of dollars by the UNFCC, should some un-elected bureaucrat in UNFCC be displeased with our performance? If you read the documents, you will conclude that this is a real outcome and not just some crazy conspiracy theory.

5) The real agenda behind “Copenhagen” is just starting to become clear. It is simply a means to transfer wealth from developed countries to undeveloped countries via a pseudo taxation regime. I do not deny that aid of some sort be given to 3rd world countries but it should be a matter of choice rather than an imposed Tax. Also, apart from India and China, the impact from 3rd world countries on CO2 emissions is almost zero. Why spend effort in countries that have next to no impact on CO2 levels?

6) Maybe the CO2 level should be addressed but probably via regulation. In the meantime there are far more important issues impacting the planet, that need urgent attention, such as deforestation, degradation of river systems, pollution (not CO2), over population. The list goes on.

This whole so called climate change thing is government scaremongering at its worst. The ETS is obviously just a tax raising policy to plug the hole that this wasteful government is causing. My kids and grand kids are going to pay for this. Sea level rises are currently at the same or even less rate as they have been for the past 100 years on the east coast - see the BOM website for the Sea Level Baseline Monitoring project http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/projects/abslmp/abslmp.shtml that has accurately determined the rate. The computer model projections have obviously not taken this report into account.

Oz is just a spit in the ocean In any case I don't believe it has been shown beyond reasonable doubt that climate change is as portrayed. since the start of time there have been many changes in climate . No indication that these have been caused by the activities of man-kind. So how can we say man can reverse climate change

Carbon is not a pollutant. It never has been and never will be. I am a scientist and the whole ETS/CPRS is a confabulated nonsense.

Are politicians so taken with this 'religion' that they are too stupid to see what is really going on. This is left wing ideology in everyone's home. 20 years after the Berlin Wall came down the left wing are closer to taking over our lives than ever before.

Is there a single politician who believes in this nonsense prepared to accept vicarious liability when this whole thing turns out to be a hoax. Didn't think so. That's why the targets have been set for 2050.

God help us all.

MONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION.YOU, AND THE COM
As an Australian Citizen you have a vested interest in both the content and the operation of our Constitution, which prescribes the operation of our Parliament and limits the activities of our Elected Members.

The Powers of the Parliament are described in Part Five, which, under section 51 states ‘ The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make Laws”, and lists 39 Items relevant to the legal Management of our affairs. It is accepted that the laws so enacted will be for the collective benefit for the majority of our Citizens, and do not allow for external and foreign interference in our affairs.

Only a special process, called a Referendum where it is necessary to have a prescribed Democratic Majority vote taken from our Citizens who have been given adequate opportunity to familiarize themselves with the subject issue in question, may vary our Constitutional foundation. It is the people who decide the issue, not the Parliament. The controversial issues of Global Warming and Carbon Trading are yet to be resolved by qualified opinion.

Our Constitution is unique to an Independent Sovereign Australia, and neither our Parliament nor our Elected Members have the right to transfer Parliamentary Power to Alien Nations or Global Organizations who may involve our citizenry in Political strategies or structured solutions to problems which are not subject to the approval of a Referendum change to our Constitution.

Any attempt to coerce our citizenry into hasty illegal and unpopular involvement in Australian Affairs by Global or Alien activity is treason, and must be met with the full force of our Law. Our Elected Members, and the Senate must be informed in advance of these sentiments. They must remember that they are in Parliament to represent the electorate, and have a duty of care to fully inform that electorate of their Parliamentary intent. (See Constitution Part 4, 44. Allegiance to a Foreign Power.)

There are a lot of undisclosed, binding, sovereignty-overruling aims by the UN in the Treaty that the Government needs to inform the public about. If the Government is truly concerned about helping impoverished and climate-effected nations there are surely better ways of going about it than destroying our hard-won freedom and way of life.

I believe he sees himself as a saviour and seeks greater glory using Australia as a stepping stone to be a Prince of Copenhagen with scant regard to the wishes of The Australian people.

Having voted for Labour in the last Federal election I am totally underwhelmed by their policies. spin, wastage of public money and see this Carbon Emmission Credit policy as just another tax grab. I think that Mr Rudd would be better off putting his energies into fixing up our decrepit hospital system, fixing up our almost third world roads and public transport systems in NSW and maybe hold a referendum to seek public comment on getting rid of our totally useless state governments. Maybe then there would be enough money to get us out of debt and get a few things done instead of just talking about them.

And of course you do kow that India and China, for the purpose of the Copenhagen Framework, are developing countries. So, if ratified part of our ETS/CPRS - because we have been naughty, naughty polluters over the past decades - will supposedly go to both of these countries to help them develop "cleaner" energy.

Hmmm. I wonder..........

............... doesn't the IPCC come under the umbrella of the UN?

Under the auspicies of the UN and NATO, the WBO, IMF, WTO, WHO, IBS, WWF and many other World and International Organizations and Corporations have been doing their utmost to help underdeveloped countries (I'm mainly thinking of Africa, South America and Asia) improve their standard of living and develop health and trade. Many of the common people of these countries (see John Pilgers video's showing the before and after senario's) are much worse off now than they ever were. If you watch these videos you will be ashamed that your country is associated with the above organizations.

If you do watch the above mentioned videos you will also wonder, why anybody with any intelligence, would ever believe that the billion dollar compulsory contributions from developed countries will be put to the task prescribed within the Copenhagen Framework? i.e to "help" underdeveloped countries..........

If ratified it is more likely the "fund" will be used, within the Global Government reference, to dictate and police this "mandate"

NO TO ETS/CPRS
NO TO COPENHAGEN.

Labors ETS has nothing to do with a reduction in Carbon Emissions but plenty to do with the imposition of the most regressive and inflationary tax ever imposed upon Australia. The coalition should refrain from referring to labors scheme as an ETS but constantly refer to it as "a carbon tax'", many in the community are unaware that it is just a tax. From my contact with locals many are horrified when they realize it is a tax and has nothing to do with a reduction in carbon emissions. Lord Mockton in an interview on Fox indicated that we could reduce the worlds temperature by 1 degree F but to do so all we need to do is remove all vehicles from the road for 33 yrs, stop producing all electricity for 33 yrs and close all industry for 33 yrs, so it just show how stupid is Chairman Rudd and labor talking about locking this country into a new carbon tax, which will destroy our economy, jobs, increase inflation and interest rates.

Dear Senator Joyce, Congratulations on taking your stand and commitment on this climate change issue, if only we had more people like you in our parliament putting Australias best interest first not political convenience what a country we could have,the climate change issue should be subject to an open forum possibly on TV where the climate experts from both sides can give their reasons for their thinking hopefully so that the voters can get a more balanced view and then put it to a referendum not just have self interest groups of people around the country having their own meetings and ridiculing those who have different thoughts on the subject pushing their own agendas on the rest of the country, such a referendum would be far more important to Australia than one on a Republic,I am in my late 70s and the climate has always produced extremes in weather over those years 150 years ago people in this country were aware that Australia was a land of droughts and flooding rains climate changes are nothing new if the proponets of climate change believe human activity is an issue maybe they should put their efforts into encouraging responsible birth control in those countries so affected, I believe that is going to be the biggest problem facing our planet unsustainable irresponsible over population by people who just keep bringing babies into the world that they cannot afford or look after for whatever reason it is just so cruel and irresponsible to those innocent children.

They dare to call carbon "pollution". Rubbish. CO2 is plant food, and in conjunction with oxygen and water it forms the essential trio of life.

Such climate change as does exist is normal, minimal, and on balance probably beneficial if there is heating. However, such mild warming signal as has been touted in recent decades has been demonstrably proven to be an artifact of thermometer numbers and location, plus some dodgy averaging arithmetic.

I find myself increasingly incredulous that these grandstanding, would-be "statesmen" like SuperKev and all the other puffed-up deadbeats are so intent on crippling our economy in the interests of re-distributing our wealth to African dictators and ex-Enron traders.

No decision should be made before Copenhagen.

This Carbon business is a Firfie as Trees take up the Carbon Dioxide and give out Oxygen. That's more where the problem lies.

Also the Government should be looking after it's own, rather than taxing us to give the money to under developed Nations. They get enough aid and mis use it, that's why they are under developed.

Caron dioxide is not a pollutant and is not responsible for global warming, as proven by science. The truth found from research is out there and easy to find, if you make the effort. Over 20,000 scientists in the US alone singed a petition to the US govt to say the this whole global warming/climate change issue is non man-made. There are many others too. It is a natural cycle. By the way global warming causes CO2 to rise, not he other way around. There is a lag of 100's of years. This ETS is ridiculous! There used to be farms on Greenland during the last global warming and about 6000 years ago CO2 levels were 15 times higher than today and there was a lush environment, according to scientific findings - and there wasn't burning of fossils fuels to blame back then. Why? It is a natural cycle. Stop trying to revenue raise via the ETS with scaring the public with lies.

The Copenhagen treaty should not be signed by Rudd or anyone for that matter. He wants to sign over millions of Australian taxpayers dollars every year to an unelected global authority - I don't think so. I smell a rat! This is not something that should be signed by one man on behalf of Australians. What are they trying to do? Form a one-world government???

I don't think the research is conclusive enough to warrant an emissions trading scheme. I would like to see the money invested in convincing us to sign the ETS spent on alternative energy sources so we actually have a chance to provide energy for ourselves once coal is no longer viable. I don't believe that the ETS is warranted and with all the investment in carbon capture, that is so far unsuccessful, we could actually provide solutions within our own country such as solar power on every household roof and expanding substations in order to harness wind and wave power.

Dear Barnaby,

I wish to support your petition [I have already signed it] by adding the following. I was born during WW2 and experienced some of the harsh weather conditions experienced during the late 1940's. However my late father used to speak of the weather conditions experienced in the Central West of NSW in the mid 1930's. At 11 oclock at night the lino on the kitchen floors would burn their feet and birds dropped dead out of the trees.

In my lifetime I have never experienced this type of heat - and yet most of the claims today about so called climate change did not exist at that time.

My mother told us about the dust and heat during WW2 when people went to sleep only to wake next morning with an imprint of the head on the pillow from the dust.

Please keep up the good fight most of the people that I talk to find the whole argument put forward by the government is false and the likely outcome will destroy this beautiful nation.

Kind regards Tony Funnell

I want the Emission Trading Scehme stopped until we have been able to have a full, honest and open debate on the subject. Climate change has gone on since the beginning of time and I doubt very much that we have the full story. To me this is another tax that will cause damage to our econmony without doing anything for the climate. I notice it has gone from global warming to climate change. Is that due to the fact that the worlds temperature has been cooling over the last 10 year? We need a proper debate to be held on the topic not a Prime Minister trying to impress the world and strut the world stage hoping for a seat on the United Nations. I urge our politicians to take a depth breath and have a good look at all the evidence - not just the information that is considered "politically correct" for the time. A healthy debate will not change the push to an ETS if it is the right way to go but it will save Australia from making a big mistake with huge economic ramifications affecting our everyday life - if as I believe - it is not the right way to go. Then it will be another tax only

I voted Labor at the last election but not again – regardless Mr Rudd can never crawl back my vote – he is a show-man on the global stage not a Prime Minister.

You have my vote – now think about a decent opposition leader who allows the Westminster System to flourish by offering an alternative Government…

It will create an undeserved and terrible burden on all Australians, limit our prosperity and enslave us and our innocent, forgotten children to unelected corrupt foreign powers.

I have been trying to make touch with you for the best part of the year, since writing to you from an oil tanker last December en route to Singapore.

I do not want to post anything to open on this comment Page, but I could assist you with revitalising the National party-- something I mooted some 18 plus years ago.

Please feel free to contact me on 0419 265 447, or my e-mail.

Regarding the nuclear issue. I used to work for the Atomic Energy Commission here and also did some work on nuclear submarines and nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom.

Of course this global warming issue is a complete Trojan horse, however do not get distracted at this current juncture by going on to the nuclear debate.

Tackle the global government threat and try and get some national sticky tape to put across Rudd's mouth -- break his fingers is necessary so he can't sign anything and everything.

Would love to talk to you about the nuclear issue after this major looming crisis of the carbon trading/Copenhagen issue is out of the way.

Kind regards,

The Australian government must not pass this legislation.
The legitamacy of global warming is still being widely debated and absolutes can not be reached on the data we currently have. Being a teacher of science, the ETS does not support any environmental benifits at all; in fact science supports the fact that trees use carbon dioxide, replenishes both oxygen in the air and also the fertility of the soil.
The question is, can this scheme of little benifit to the environment sustain the loss of empolyment in ratio to the gain of questionable taxes?

There has not been any public debate on the proposal of climate change and how Australia signing the Copenhagen Treaty will impact upon Australian citizens. Until there has been effective debate in the public arena on 1) the scientific basis for and against climate change and 2) the economic impact upon Australia and the expected outcomes is Austrralia becomes a signatory to the Copenhagen Treaty.

I don't believe Australia, at this point in time, should be signing this treaty. Further, there needs to be televised open debate from within the scientific community to give all Australians a better understanding of whether climate change has any basis in fact.

I don't understand how charging 'us' more for basic living items can reduce emissions? Why should we have to give money to other countries who are the main offenders in creating all these carbons and gases. What are we supposed to do, give up electricity and burn candles. Stop cooking with gas and burn sticks. does that idiot who is the Prime Minister want us all to go back to the dark ages, live like cave men. Ride pushbikes and give up cars. Stop companies from producing our basic requirements? This is just a way to make up pay more money to the Government, another tax, just called something different. What right has he got to allow a group of people to come here and decide how much of 'our' money they will take. This country has got third world Hospitals,they can't afford schools for kids with disabilities

Good on you Barnaby for having the balls to stand up to this prepostorous tax. The science on CO2 & climate is far from settled, but even if it turns out to be 10 times worse than craziest predictions, this tax will still achieve nothing for the environment. What it will do is destroy the livelihood of many Australians. It will cause a serious decline in quality of life for most Australians. The only positive it will provide is for one man alone - to help Kevin Bloody Rudd get a name for himself on the world stage. A huge price for our country to pay to reduce global CO2 emissions by approximately .005%. The ETS and any other tax like it must be stopped at all costs.

Most people dont know what a carbon polilution reduction scheme is .The Liberals need to show some spine,the coalition has already voted against the bill. Even if agriculture is exempt, current world carbon rules prevent farmers aquiring credits on soils & vegetation.The $46million reserch program should be channeled into the ailing health crises in NSW, especially west of the divide.

Bring some balance back to the debate and get real - would Al Gore be buying waterfront real estate in San Francisco if he really believed his own bullshit on ocean levels??

Our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers would be turning in their graves if they knew what Kevin Rudd intends to sign away for all Australians at Copenhagen...our sovereignty and freedom from oppressive world regimes...the very thing they gave their lives for, for our benefit, and that of our childrens' children.

Then we have "control freak" Rud telling us all "the clock is ticking". What is needed is a complete review of the impact of human activity on climate. I am very sceptical when climate predictions are based on a computer model. I believe the weather is too complex to be modelled - think of the variables - suns energy variaiton, sun spot activity, obital distance variation, axis tilt, volcanic activity, variation in atmosphere, thermal variation in ocean etc.

Please reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. This is just another tax to impose on it's people, who are overly taxed as it is. Why aren't the people given the pro's and con's and debates made public instead of only being told all the time by the Labour government what we should do. Where are the Politicians who love and really care for Australians and Australia? Stop calling it Carbon and call it Co2. Why when we question the Rudd Governments direction on this matter we are called looneys or such - people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Whether or not CO2 causes climate change, simply offshoring Australian manufacturing and emissions to Third World countries with lower environmental standards can not possibly help the environmnet.

Australia already has net external liabilities per head of population ("foreign debt") that exeeds that of the USA. Further crippling Australian industry can only add to that situation and the massive burden we are creating for future generations.

I support sustainability both economically and environmentally but the ETS does neither, hence my opposition to it.

Why have the opposition not brought pressure to bear on the PM in regards to his $1 dollar a day to save the world lie? When will the media lift the blanket ban that seems to be on the reporting on the signing of the treaty in Copenhagen?

Below is the PM own words from Oct 31 2008 and is from the above link.

THE Rudd Government has moved to ease fears about the impact of its emissions trading scheme, releasing Treasury modelling showing the scheme is affordable, with households paying up to $7 a week more for electricity and gas, and no industries forced offshore.

I fear for this great nation, i fear that this man will lead it down on such a path of destruction and we will never find our way back.

Wake up Australia before it's too late. When are you going to accept the fact that we now have a monster, hypocrite and spineless person as our Prime Minister. Most of you Australians are like sheep in a paddock, following this first class used car salesman called black sheep Kevin. He tells you what to do and where to go and like a bunch of dopes you follow him.
Reflect back on his election flop/promises. Petrol watch, grocery watch, border protection and taking over the hospital system from the states, just to name a few. Look at all the stuff ups he has made since being elected eg, home insulation, money being spent on schools and the enormous debt this country is accumulating. This guy and his Government could not run a chook farm with one chicken, let alone Australia.
Australia emits 1.4% of the worlds carbon pollution. We rank 16th on the world list. USA, Russia, India and China emit half the worlds pollution. If these countries do not reduce their pollution, even if Australia emitted no pollution at all, it would have very little effect.
Our so called Prime Minister and his Government can not be trusted with something as important as an ETS. Barnaby you are the only politician who has got the balls to stand up for Australia. The rest of them are gutless individuals who have spines made of margarine that's been left in the sun. Keep up the good work as Australia needs a person like yourself as Prime Minister, not the traitor we have now.

I totally support this petition;

NO to ETS/CPRS - This is a very dishonest scam as the Earth has been in a cooling phase cycle since 1998. It's sad that some people just can't understand that CO2 is a "friend" not an enemy as additional CO2 promotes additional growth which in turn will produce additional food for all that live on this planet, please take the time to read the real science and not the propaganda. By taking the above into account and the proven fact that rising CO2 levels FOLLOW warming by approximately 800 years, then THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. So, why has the question not been put to Kevin Rudd, Penny Wong, Malcolm Turnbull and others, that is, WHY ARE YOU STILL PERSISTING WITH THIS NO PROBLEM ISSUE? Past history has shown that ignorance is no defence, heads will role when the final truth fully comes out.

NO to the Copenhagen Treaty - As mentioned above, THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. So why should there be a need for Australia to even attend the Copenhagen meetings, why the sudden urgency, or is there a hidden agenda as most Australians feel? Lord Monckton I believe is spot on the money, to form a Global Communistic Government and sign away Australia's Sovereignty. This would be treason and a fraud as Global Warming is a lie. Is there no honour or truth left in government?

"Lest We Forget" the sacrafices made by our Diggers to afford us the freedoms that are being so blatantly abused. They would be turning in their graves right now and ready for another fight against this evil madness. I like my father and my two grandfathers also put our lives on the line at war for the freedom of our Australian people and our families. Mr Rudd, if you want to go back to living in a cave, go for it, but you sure as hell wont be taking me or my family there. We have earned the right for freedom, have you?

Wake up Australia and start fighting for truth and your rights to freedom.

I also fully agree with Gregory Rauchle - Please read some of the true factual info Gregory has listed for your convenience.

Thanks Barnaby, you are a true blue Aussie and one of a small few still left in Parliment.

THIS SCHEME IS NOTHING BUT A GIANT TAX GRAB .

Please keep hounding the media to actually address the Copenhagen Treaty and ask the hard questions of what it will do to our sovereignty as a nation. It would seem that most people in the cities (where the votes are) couldn't care less about the really important things that affect our country. It must be hard when you have had to stand alone and be ridiculed by all and sundry as you have stood for what is right. Make no mistake there are many of the silent ones would say 'Thank God for Barnaby' and we do pray for you. Please continue to do your best for Qld & Aust just like Sir Joh did before you!!!

After watching 4 corners the other night I was enraged to see Penny Wong speak on the need for the ETS in such a determined way. With all the scientific evidence that discredits the alarmist movement, and with no alarmist prepared to step up and actually debate the science, I cannot believe that she can be so blind to not see the valid points put forward by the other side, and that her party stance and actions has the potential to put our country in the hands of a non elected global government. I can only assume that this is what they want, and I hope the pat on the head from the global elite is everything they hoped it would be... NOT!

I'm sorry, but when our own government is preparing to make policies based on non settled crackpot science and ram it down our throat as something we must all believe in for the good of the planet, then something is very very wrong.

You know... I'm not smart by any stetch of the imagination, but what I have seen to discredit the global warming theory doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand. How can our elected officials see this same information and not think that there might be something in this "other side" of the argument, and that maybe it needs more investiagtion before we go and sign our future away.

As a point of interest, how hard do you have to look to find the argument against global warming? I only stumbled across this information by chance and have since done a lot of research over the past few months. Why does main stream media not give the public a balanced persepctive so we can make our choice based on both sides of the story? What is really going on? I am convinced it is simply fear mongering with the end result being more money in the pockets of Al Gore and his globalist side kicks, and zero change to the environment.

Thanks heavens for your stance on this issue senator. I thank you for your persistence with this matter.

Why is this ETS being rushed through at the Copenhagen Treaty when so much has not been properly understood by the government or electorate here in Australia (as well as other countries)? Signing this ETS without first understanding its content and consequence is lunacy. Keep Australia a sovereign country Mr Rudd, it is more important than your status on the world scene. I vote against this ETS on the grounds of ignorance by the current Labour government (and opposition leaders) here in Australia. Openness and honesty is required Mr Rudd - vote against it.

Instead of taxing what we "create" why not assist us to reduce CO2. There are plenty of roof tops that can and should support solar, we have much wind going to waste and I still don't understand why highly populated countries use nuclear power yet we "think" it too dangerous.

Imagine how much power could be available to the national grid if only 20% of roof tops had solar panels?
# Adrian Imray
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 9:52 AM
The ETS is nothing more than a tax. The chief beneficiaries will be hedge

human activity a ETS will not fix it. Nuclear power and better public transport
would be a much better start.

I am not in favour of the Australian government signing any treaty at the upcoming Copenhagen conference. i do not believe we should have any ETS or CPRS..

The science concerning global warming is dubious. Many scientists do not believe in global warming (my brother said when he was young many scientists said we were going to have an ice age). Many scientists say we are descended from monkeys, but the Holy Bible says we are the descendants of God (Luke 3:38). So called 'science' and theory have become blurred in the modern age.

If the government wants to sign a significant treaty which may affect Australia's sovereignty they should first let the people vote on it by holding a referendum.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 10:16 AM
This is the craziest thing i have heard of to date. A tax to BREATHE. The earth has a natural cycle of warming and cooling, just like the oceans have high and low tides. To sign this treaty is to basically tax people to be alive. Watch out! Once this treaty is signed in Copenhagen you can kiss your countries sovereignty goodbye, it will handed over to the corrupt world bankers that run the United
nations. Good luck Barnaby.
# Malcolm Salisbury

Do not sign the Copenhagen treaty, definately no ETS its another excuse for a grab at power and money, it shouldn't be signed under any circumstances.
Any one that speaks out against so called global warming is ridiculed, but the science that has come up with the Global Warming idea cannot prove it, just a decade ago many of those same scientists were predicting another Ice Age, reduce polution by all means, grow trees and reduce Coal fired Power Generation, but anything else is a huge Con.

We need to create more educational awareness on the contrary to climate change, we need to remove that notion that politicians and media create calling us being Anti Life.

We have to STOP this treaty being signed.

And Australians should listen to the scientists, not the politicians and greenies.
There will always be variability in the climate, just as there is in the stock market!!

If people were serious about saving energy and stopping pollution they should

1. Get a push bike and ride to work, or walk, or ride public transport. Lobby the government for better push bike access and better public transport. If you must drive, share your car with someone.
2. Don't renew your car (and mobile phone and computer and TV and everything else technical) every year.....that is just shear waste.
3. Don't have your heater turned up so far in Winter that you walk around in shirt sleeves....put on a jumper (preferably a wool one), and vise versa in Summer don't have your air conditioner so cold that you need a jumper!! This applies to all business offices and commercial and government buildings....not just private homes.
4.Turn unused electical items OFF.
5. Grow your own vegies etc.
6. Compost waste materials.
7. Stick to the "Hundred Mile" rule when you shop and where possible buy items that were produced locally or within "a Hundred Miles". Buying something grown overseas that is produced here in Australia is rediculous.
8. All new houses and commercial buildings should always be designed and built with the climate in mind.
9. Solar hot water should be mandatory.
10, 11, 12. I'm sure there are a hundred other things we as individuals can do......

Dear Barnaby,
Thank you so much for standing strong against this global madness against the trace element of man made CO 2 in the atmosphere. 90 % of greenhouse gas is water vapour , the same proportion as the 'clouds ' coming out of coal fired plants that produce our electricity base load power. This scam and taxing EST must be stopped. Turnbull is a deluded Rudd Lite believer in this new green environ religion. At times we despair that there is so little opposition and no real Opposition under Turnbull Hockey Bishop. We know farmers that are incensed by the threat to tax each of their animals for methane. The world has gone mad ! My husband is a civil engineer and a fellow classmate of Johnny Forrest. The National Party and real conservative Biblical Creation Christian values are the only salvation and answer to this PC crazy nonsense based on pseudo science and climate models. Rudd and Wong are out to destroy or country and make us lackeys of international governance as they surrender our soverignity to the UN evil COP ( Copenhagen ) organizations. My husband and I would like to fully endorse your petition and join with you and Nick Minchin and Tony Abbott 100 % and any other Liberals that stand against this hoax and power grab against the Australian people. Rudd and Wong are certifiable and should be taken to Court and thrown in jail where they can no longer wreck havoc on our Country and way of life. May we highly recommend Roy Spencers' book ; Climate Confusion . How Global Warming hysteria leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor.

Especially so when countries such as India and China are not bound by the same constraints the federal government wants to impose on us. The whole scam is sheer lunacy.

I have examined this issue oer many years, I have read and examined countless rebuttals to the UN IPCC, Manne and other models. I have examined the data, the temperature data sets.

I am not anti environment, nor am I wedded to any particular energy tech as long as it fullfills it's purpose viably.

I ask that the senate examines the data on this issue, not models and not corrupted data sets.

John Tyndall established in the 1870s that the major contributor to Earth’s greenhouse effect is water vapour, and that the contribution is negligible from other gases, including carbon dioxide. Apparently, the warming alarmists have changed the spectral properties of carbon dioxide and water vapour since then. They must be Gods.

If the Rudd Government was honest about leading the world on climate change, they would sponsor a truly open debate on the issue. The political party who educates voters on this global scam will save the planet from the pending Gaian inquisition.

Thank you Barnaby! I beleive we have many environmental problems here on Earth one of which is NOT man made global warming. Real issues are being ignored for the sake of a small group of greedy power hungry bankers and foolish politicians. I still remain green in many ways but Copenhagen is a dangerous document and bringing in a New World Order to fight a non existent problem smells pretty fishy to me!
Again thank you Barnaby for your tireless work regading the ETS and Copenhagen. I'll be forwarding the partition to as many people as possible.

While there are multiple theories as to what are significant climate effectors, we should not prematurely commit to any scheme, costing a stratospheric amount of money, which in the end may prove ineffectual. I don't have confidence that human emitted CO2 is the primary effector, nor that the consequences of inaction are catastrophic. I don't support the ETS.

For as long as it takes - to look at ALL FACTS and for people to ask ALL QUESTIONS THEY MIGHT HAVE. We often have TV debates for the far inferior reasons than this one. Also has someone actually quantified this ADDITIONAL, PRODUCED BY HUMAN TECHNOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES ONLY amount of CO2 and other "greenhouse" gases and compare it to the volume of the same gassess produced naturally and to capacity of natuaral environment to absorb them? And how about to compare them to the size of the Earth?

Moreover, I don't want Australia to be subject to a group of unelected public servants in Copenhagen or anywhere else for that matter, deciding our future. Anyway the whole global warming fiasco is a con trick of the worst kind. It has been designed to frighten children into thinking that the world is at an end.

# Vlastislav Skvaril

I heard Turnbull saying that there is an overwhelming evidence that global warming is caused by humans. We know of over 31,000 scientists signing a petition that it is not the case. Where is his number to justify claiming "overwhelming evidence"? The Liberals have to replace him immediately if they want to govern ever again. At this moment many of loyal supporters will not vote for them while Turnbull is in charge. There will be many informal votes. I would go even further and state my belief, that after he lost the Republic referendum he hates the Liberals so much that he joined them to destroy the party from within. He is doing very well in this aspect.

The Federal Government must not introduce an ETS/CPRS Tax nor sign the Copenhagen Climate Treaty. For Rudd to do so is utter madness.

We have read the draft UN Copenhagen Climate Treaty and have concluded that it is communism by stealth. Our right to maintaining sovereignty of our country is paramount to this argument.

Supporting other nations through foreign aid should be "project specific" where some control over money spent and outcomes achieved are possible. Throwing billions of dollars pa at the UN will not see any beneficial outcomes within the poorer nations of the world. Creating another UN facility that will have the right to impose fines and levies on countries without redress will see the inevitable destruction of our "western style" civilization.

I fear that Mr. Rudd will signing away Australia’s sovereignty and placing in the hands of an unelected body that is not accountable to the Australian people, our economy and future prosperity.

Is there any chance of the National Party can draft an instrument of repudiation or other such document that can be signed by other like minded Australians to protect us from Mr. Rudd signing away our sovereignty and inching us further toward a one world government that we have not elected?

In any event I would like to declare that I do not agree with the 300 page draft Copenhagen agreement, nor the fact that our sovereignty will be signed away from the Australian people without full disclosure or even their knowledge. I further put forward the argument by Lord Christopher Monckton regarding global warming and in doing so reject any introduction of any such carbon trading system.

Should the National party be able to draft an instrument of repudiation and /or declare independence from this treaty can you please inform us where we would most likely be able to find it so the Australian people can register their independence from this treaty.

Is there likely to be any information that the National party can produce to the Australian people of the potential act of "Treason" by our own Prime Minister?
If so this must occur very quickly before Mr. Rudd steps foot on the plane to Copenhagen in December.

The Australian people must be informed of the consequences of Mr. Rudd signing this treaty and not left in the dark whilst Australia’s sovereignty is signed away!

Dear Sir,

6 months ago I may have signed your petition.

However, for years we have had an unelected ungovernment, the United Nations. Surely you have noticed decisions that were made in line with the unelected U N before now. So what will be different?

You proport to speak for country people. They can actually speak extremely eloquently for themselves. You said nothing earlier this year when Stephen Smith, MP Perth , made a UN decision that was not at all supportive of our farmers. Furthermore, you have said nothing when he states that he will not disclose discussion, reports or decisions that he has been having with Indonesia. Supposedly about the invaders in the norther and the fly ins.
What about the $11 million Smith has just GIVEN, given, of our tax payers money to the Sri Lankan government. Aren't we already supporting their criminals who are coming in by sea at this very moment. And their illegal activites, pushiness will be rewarded.
There are many genuine refugess who cannot afford to pay people smugglers, I do not hear you stating that you will approach their governments to fix their national problems.

I do not think you are genuinely concerned about the UN so I will not sign your petition.

The UN already controls us.

# Grant Fink

I, Grant Fink object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government.

The actuality of anthropogenic global warming is looking increasingly unlikely as the computer models on which these predictions have been based are being revealed as flawed and increasingly discredited.

Even if global does come to pass the CPRS will do nothing to remedy it but will seriously harm the Australian economy and hence the people of Australia.

Hence I ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).
# Jim Beveridge

James Hardie industries that has been responsible for painful deaths should be held accountable. Howard allowed them to take their $1 billion to Holland knowing they would never pay their asbestos victims. Why sign this agreement? The $75 billion per year the United Nations will be collecting and giving to the developing countries will just keep their people in poverty and belsching out pollution.

There is so much conflict about the proposed ETS, including the need or otherwise for it.

Surely, if the need for it really existed it would be a lot more obvious to the growing number of well respected and well qualified scientists around the globe who are now speaking out against it.

Noboby, including KRudd has told us how an ETS will reduce emissions. To trade emissions is not reducing emissions. The emissions will go on, it will cost more for everything because of the emissions trading tax.

No thanks Kev, I don't want you to tax us anymore. NO to ETS. NO to Copenhagen, NO to the treaty you are about to sign, and not telling us about, and NO to one world government.

It is so very, very easy to prove that the climate models (the only "evidence" there is for dangerous anthropogenic global warming) are wrong. There is no longer any excuse for people like Rudd or Turnbull to pretend to believe that AGW is happening. And therefore there is no excue for these people to be promoting a treaty that we now know is intended to establish a world governmental body with taxation powers that will usurp national sovereignty (and can be guaranteed in practice to be socialist as well). For some very simple explanations of this, please see my articles on the subject:

I see little consistency, or even honesty, in the arguments for man-made climate change. The public has been poorly served by its government and media who, for political (not scientific) reasons, have embraced the man-made climate-change narrative.
I support this petition's objection to Australia's adopting an ETS or signing the Copenhagen Treaty. I also ask the Senate to reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).

I feel so frustrated by this Labor Government
•The arrogant and blinkered ‘one sided’ attitude
•The wasteful spending of public money
•The relaxing of the immigration laws
•The failure to act on improving the health system nationally
•The failure to protect our primary producers by allowing cheaper & inferior imports
•The inability to predict long term consequences
I don’t believe that the ETS has anything to do with counteracting global warming... it’s just another way of government ensuring that a new cycle of businesses are created, generating trade and securing income into the future, but at what cost????
Barnaby you are one of the very few politicians that I have faith in. I believe that you are doing a marvellous job and hope that you can inspire more decent men and women around you to stand up and speak out.
I strongly disagree with the ETS & the Copenhagen Treaty, I vote to put Australia’s future first.

We have a Traitor amongst us.

A call to the Governor General to sight Treason, as Kevin Rudd has blood on his hands meddling with surrendering our soverignty to a foreign interest.
These globalists are not only insane, they are very dangerous.

I call not only to support the complete ban on any ETS agreement, and a throwing out of any Globalist Agreement such as any G20 or Copenhagen Treaty, but also to Sack Kevin Rudd.

Please remember our Rights;

AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION

Furthermore we would like to know why the media is not letting the Australian people know all costs that would be involved. [Possibly because Rudd has not told them or the rest of the Government.]

CO2 is not a pollutant.
Human produced CO2 is not leading to global warming - there is no proof.
30,000 other scientist agree with the above statement and have signed a petition stating so.
IPCC computer model predictions have been proven wrong and bad science.
ZERO empirical evidence to suggest human produce CO2 leads to dangerous warming.
Se levels are not rising.
Climate change is a natural phenomenon, there will always be and always will be variation in the climate, the recent warming is within natural variation, and we have seen recent cooling since 1998, despite increases in CO2 concentrations completely rebutting the IPCC warnings.

Did you know that plants will grow four times larger in the same amount of time and use less water to do so if the amount of CO2 in the air doubles? Check out the science - it is valid and able to be tested. We could feed many more people with more CO2 in the biosphere.

The ETS is a fear campaign like Y2K and the Copenhagen Treaty is a sell off of Australia ,s democracy.

How much is OUR prime Minister prepared to give to the United Nations to support countries like China. (China growing at 9% and our super markets and hardware stores FULL of products made in YES China. Give us all a break.
Yes lots of countries willl vote for Copenhagen treaty BECAUSE they will gain from it and if we were silly enough to sign it WE would pay in MONEYand JOBS.

Australia's ETS ( Environmental Trading Scheme) is another tax. It is equal to putting up the GST to 12.5% which would be unacceptable and produce an outcry.
Read the following analogy and you will realize the insignificance of carbon dioxide as a weather controller.
Here's a practical way to understand Mr. Rudd's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.
Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere and we want to get rid of the carbon pollution in it created by human activity. Let's go for a walk along it.
The first 770 metres are Nitrogen.
The next 210 metres are Oxygen.
That's 980 metres of the 1 kilometre. 20 metres to go.
The next 10 metres are water vapour. 10 metres left.
9 metres are argon. Just 1 more metre.
A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre.
The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre - that's carbon dioxide.
A bit over one foot. 97% of that is produced by Mother Nature. It's natural.
Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left.
Just over a centimetre - about half an inch.
That's the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.
And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre.
Less than the thickness of a hair. Out of a kilometer!
As a hair is to a kilometer - so is Australia's contribution to what Mr. Rudd calls Carbon Pollution.
Imagine Brisbane's new Gateway Bridge, ready to be opened by Mr. Rudd.
It's been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometer length is surgically clean. Except that Mr. Rudd says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted - there's a human hair on the
roadway.

We'd laugh ourselves silly.

Dear Sen. Barnaby Joyce,

Thank you so much for standing up to those that seek to damage the Australian Economy and cost Australians to lose their jobs based on unfounded and ill considered ETS policy on the run. Without the major polluters such as Europe, America and soon to be India and China agreeing to substantial reductions the Australian contributions are negligible. Also the claims made regarding global warming when the earth is actually cooling are at best suspect. We live near a newly constructed VERY NOISY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS wind development (we are in a tornado/fire prone area and also the turbines are at elevation approx. 300/350 metres from public roads, AND THE NSW GOVT. HAS DONE LITTLE OR NO INDEPENDENT RESEARCH REGARDING SUITABILITY (STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY) OF WIND TURBINES IN OUR EXTREME CLIMATIC AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS), which has ruined our lives and our small rural communities' lives but the profits made by the Developer are simply obscene. We have suffered greatly at the hands of the Developer and we are now cynical that "GLOBAL WARMING' has more to do with Developer profits which ultimately are paid for by the Australian taxpayer. Thank you Senator for being our hero in speaking out and questioning the dubious but very expensive spin doctoring. Thank you for noticing that none of the claims when examined closely (and whose funding them) add up sufficiently to endanger our fragile Australian Economy.

An ETS is an irrational non-solution to a non-problem. Environmental problems, whether resulting from climate change (man-made or natural), or otherwise, can best be solved by the rational application of agreed science and effective technology.

I fully agree with the petition and urge the Government to consider the consequences of an ETS on the ability to develop the initiatives that may be required in order to combat any effects of climate change that may occur (which are likely to be insignificant in any event).

Technology, not taxation.

The climate change campaign now has all the hallmarks of a mass hysteria contagion. A crypto religious extremist movement that has no tolerance for dissenting opinions or even reasoned discussion. Opponents are condemned or threatened. New and highly offensive terms of abuse are coined or rebadged to attack heretics and the ideologically defective ("Denialists"? What the heck is that about?) Bending the truth and outright lies are suddenly OK so long as they support or advance the cause.

This sort of thing is fairly common in human history. Regrettably there are many examples. Always they are dangerous and destructive.

(1) The UN IPCC has no measured scientific observations as evidence that human activity caused global warming; and,
(2) Objective analysis of the data provided by the UN IPCC itself, reveals that the UN IPCC misrepresents climate and science through blatant distortions, unfounded inferences and blatant falsities."

In a time when the currency is spin plus scam, Barnaby is providing the only outlet for the sane people of this country to express an opinion.
I accept there will be no debate, that anybody voicing a POV that opposed Rudd will be belittled. Its just not good enough. If the "science" is impregnable, give it oxygen to prove itself beyond doubt. What is depressing me is how the Australian population is just walking into this dumb deal without question.

My Dear President and members I am in my 64 year and never before have felt so concerned at the direction this country is proposing to take regarding setting up an ETS and signing a International treaty in Copenhagen next Month.
Has this country gone stark raving mad? I have read endless pages and heard numerous speakers regarding this proposal and done my very best to come to an understanding and it seems completely clear thousands of scientists many with PhD's have tried to speak out at the insanity of the proposals.
I find it very alarming indeed how any voices who try and warn us of the proposed madness are consistently ostracized and censored both by the main stream media and our very government itself.
Whatever happened to openness and honesty of debate ,whatever happened to discovering what actually is the truth based on sound proven facts and reasoning?
Having studied intensively, deception in all it's many forms for now over 30 years , if ever I have seen one raise it's ugly head it would have to be the current nonsense over so called man made global warming.
Are you people so blind you cannot see the emperor marching along without any clothes On?
For the sake of Australia and my family and all thee other families please I urge you all to come to your senses and open your eyes.
Could I direct you to read the great classic from sveral hundred years ago. "Great Delusions And The maddness of Crowds.
Many nations have been deceived in the past and it is happening again in our day.

The ETS is based on flawed science, and bad philosophy. The bad philosophy includes the self-refuting "precautionary principle" (PP) upon which the "science" of AGW is based on - representing a complete negation of the onus of proof.

As more and more of scaremongering is exposed e.g. 1998 as the hottest year, the more desperate they become to get the whole ETS passed.

As a proud country Australia’s culture and way of life is enshrined in it’s independence, Mr Rudd, please don’t sign it away for any reason.

I totally reject any move to sign an international agreement which will sign away our rights under the Australian Constitution. PM Rudd has no mandate to attempt such a move without the fully informed knowledge and support of the Australian citizens. The public have not been fully informed to date.

He does not have that mandate from the people, who have been so far misinformed about the real issues of the proposed Copenhagem agreement. They are not informed about the potential powers of the proposed unelected ONE WORLD GOVERMENT. Nor do they understand the likely costs to Australian citizens of the significant tax increase that would flow from such an agreement, and the impact upon Australian industry and jobs.

He must place all the facts before the people at a referendum. Should he decide to call a double dissolution of both Houses, until that election is decided by the people, he has no mandate to act unilaterally.

Adopting an ETS would be seen by future generations as the work of foolish zealots . A throwback generation more in tune with the Druids , superstition and Paganism , who did not pay mind to history and past scientific evidence , vastly underestimated the innovation and ability to adapt of human beings and ignored climatic variations. A wasteful generation that instead of working on how to adapt to the natural changes tried to manipulate a power far greater than they were able to understand.

1. The methodology in measuring surface ait temperature is lopen to question.

2. Sea temperature measurements have only been soundly based for a relative short period. The Argos system dates from 2003.

3. Satellite data only for about thirty years and is calibrated against surface and sea temperature meaurement

4. Media reports are contradictory and sensationalised. Generally are not reliable.

5. Evidence that the climate system is driven by so called greenhouse gases is scanty and not convincing.

Conclusion: A proper judicial enquiry is required to establish the validity of the AGW hypothesis. Evidence should be given on oath and subject to cross examination.

Don't worry about the ETS/CPRS. Before Global warming takes over we will be out of oil (limited resource now being looked for in ever deeper wells at sea) and China will have bought all our resource companies. Every Chinese Company taking over an Australian coal, iron, other resource company is in reality the Chinese Government. With all our resource companies eventually in CHinese hands there will be no future for my kids and grandchildren. Before worrying about ETS stop the takeover of Australia by China - Kevin 07 is a Sinophile so he is not going to stop it, he probably has a seat at the future Chinese Australian government. The USA has identified the number 1 threat to the US economy is China buying up all the resource companies all over the World - wake up.

With due respect, why are the UN expressing such a vast interest in the $7b Australia will pay when the Copenhagen treaty is signed?

Will you make assurances the standard of living in the country will be maintained well after the additional taxes are paid by EVERY one of us to fund for the ETS?

Utility bills are starting to significantly raise in Australia already, why isn't China and The US doing enough to stop global warming while Australia is left to pick up the bill?

Dear Mr Rudd

Please remember that science is not a democracy. There is no weight of opinion that can counter a single fact.

- Sea levels are not rising at fatal rates each year
- The earth is not warming
- Yes, we are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - but plants need this to breathe
- There is no proof that CO2 emissions are heating the planet
- There is no proof of anthropogenic climate change
- Have you actually read any of the IPCC reports from start to finish. If you have not, I suggest you do. (a) you will be more informed and (b) you will appreciate that the risks are significantly lower than the media suggests

Finally - we need leadership on pollution and water and recycling.

Stop wasting valuable time and money by hijacking the environmental agenda with fictitious modelling and political rhetoric. Your ETS plan is nothing more than a tax grab. You won't impact the environment by one gram of carbon.

You have lost all credibility in my eyes. While not a traditional Nationals voter, I am grateful to Barnaby Joyce for making a stand on this issue.

It is clear from the Alan Jones interview with Lord Monckton, that there is a HIDDEN AGENDA, far worse than just another TAX, underlying this treaty, that would be, the undermining of our Constitutional Rights. Attempted unsuccessfully previously, BUT they are getting smarter!

We collectively object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the Copenhagen Treaty

I can’t help but laugh when I see the rough tough ANZAC’s getting their noses rubbed in the Taliban poo while they watch like shivers looking for a spine to run up as their war medals are melted down on the beach of Gallipoli and used as filling for all the bad teeth of the world, it makes me feel proud to be Australian.

Finally political correctness is allowing the Union Jack, the Australian Southern Cross and the Stars and strips to be printed on the toilet paper of every political thug in the world as a statement that these once mighty flags of honour, which our forefathers fought under, still have some domestic value.

The drug idiots which is what is left of the proud legacy of once mighty nations don’t know how to fire a pea-shooter let alone a rifle and as the antichrist enemies gather around stupid mothers proud that their son have been brought up proper and not violent can have their politically correct throats cut from ear to ear knowing that they died while their daughters, wives, sisters and Mothers were being raped by those who know nothing about political correctness, justice or a fair go, they only know victory over Christianity.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

ETS and Australian Government Entering into a Treaty (Copenhagen) that would attempt to change the Sovereignty of Australia.

I believe under the Australian Constitution that the Sovereignty of Australia resides in the people. And that the people elect a government to act on their behalf. That any changes to the Constitution or adoption of international laws (treaties) that attempt to change the constitution can only be done once the changes have past the 2 houses of the Parliament and then it has to go back to the people through a referendum before it becomes law.

So I believe that any treaty that the Government signs that attempts to changes the Australia Constitution where it attempts to remove that Sovereignty from the people of Australia would be Unconstitutional.

And any Government doing this would be committing Treason

Could you please advise me if this is true and could it be challenged in the High Court?

More importantly neither side of politics has presented via TV a comprehensive presentation of the scientific evidence supporting the pros or cons of ETS Politicians are wringing their hands and saying we must support this .Support what? This is so important that the evidence must be presented in a manner that the ordinary Joe Blow on the street can understand.ie the fors and against. I strongly believe that whilst global warming may be evident , nothing has been presented to me in a manner that I can understand , that we (mankind) caused it.Give us the scientific evidence - otherwise get lost. ...

Why would any modern human being voluntarily elect to revert to a pre-industrial (or even stone-age) world? It is absurd in the extreme.

And to the designers and programmers of this petition, could you please make it forward to a 'comment received' page instead of just cycling back to the top of the petition page so you don't know if your signature was received until after you've tried again then scrolled down to the bottom and found now you've signed twice? And a cookie to lock you out of signing twice would be good too.

Oh - and can you delete this and my accidental second signature too?

Thanks.

Well, I'm all for looking at new ways to provide potentially cleaner power, but by attempting to force this issue by placing the hugh burdon of the ETS on the Australian Economy and for signing up to a UN treaty (with an signed 'blank' cheque book) is madness at its best. The debate in the media is very biased with any one even remotely questioning branded as "deniers"!!!! Thank God the NAT's and some in the Liberal Party have backbone to announce their position (despite the overall performance of the opposition being extremely weak). I just can't believe why the general "polls" of the Australian population still appear to be overwhelmingly in favour of action on climate change in the form of an ETS. Are most Australians just that dumb??? I know Victorians are, as we still seem to be satisfied with the tired old "do nothing" Bracks/Brumby government, who refuse to build new dams, but instead build a desal plant which is going to take mega tonnes of power to run the dam thing!!!. What hypocyrics!!!! The sooner this country becomes more balanced with some conservative governments around the place the better. We are going mad!!

This is rediculous and economic suicide. Stop the feel good mean everything but do nothing policies and start investing in reality.

If you want to lower our emissions, invest the money into a local nuclear industry. Don't trade away our economic worth on science that still cannot determine that so called "Global Warming" now termed Climate Change is definitively caused by anthropogenic activity.

I don't want my tax dollars being spent this way, please send the 30% of my income you have taxed so that I can put it to better use.

Man made global warming has not been proven, nor has it been convincingly argued based on scientific evidence. It is possible, but not proven.

Until it is proven man is risking dangerous temperature increases because of our CO2 emissions we should not have an ETS, nor should we have a world government. Rudd was not elected to have us beholden to a new world government, nor was he elected to tithe our taxes to a new world government.

If KRudd continues to run loose as an imprudent, self-propelled (yet unguided) missile he will bring an end to the democratic Australia I love. KRudd I implore you to look at post-war Germany, the USSR and other communist Governments and answer the question of whether you really want your homeland and country to be subjected to and controlled by decisions made by people who don't even live here? Or perhaps you should come clean and admit this is simply a tax grab in yet another attempt to generate funds to replenish the country's stocks you wasted so foolishly when you were buying your (now fading) popularity. Australia is a democracy (for now) - why don't you let the people decide what they want rather than dictating how you think it should be. Don't sign the Treaty. Don't adopt the ETS. Don't destroy Austrlia.

UN position and his US president type of global roaming lifestyle is part of image along with the push to enforce such a nation damaging treaty. When are politicians going to start doing things for our own nation. Barnaby can you please quote in Parliament how much money our nation has spent on supporting other countries in this world as far as disater relief amongst other forms of monetry support? Our own drought affected areas can't get a brass razoo out of the federal govt. let along major industry that have gone broke. Thanks for giving a damn Barnaby.

Please reject an ETS that is more likely to be an Employment Termination Scheme and Enormous Tax Slug than it is a means of controlling climate (the same government who can't control petrol or grocery prices yet believe they can change the patterns of the worlds weather?). The science is at best questionable and is actually asking us to reduce a gas that is essential for life and a great majoirty of which is naturally occurring. Historical records show warmer times and higher levels of CO2 as beneficial so why are we diverting limited tax dollars to expensive strategies with no effective good guaranteed. Why are we even considering signing away any degree of sovereignty at Copenhagen? Why won't the Government think of the working families and the pensioners that they so championed prior to the last election? These people will feel enormous pain and absolutely no gain for this ineffective tax and greater bureaucratic meddling in their daily lives.

The ETS, is what it's name says. A trading scheme whereby bankers, Lawyers and Brokers will make huge money by trading the scheme. There is nothing concrete, nor pure evidence, that says that if we don't do anyhting about it, the World will disappear.
The world went through these so called climate changes for million of years. And it is still here.
As such, my view is that it is only a scaremongering tactic, AND A REVENUE RAISING by the introduction of another tax. Forget about Copenhagen altogether.

Turnbull should totally oppose this ETS, not just trying to water it down. Once it is in, it is in for good regardless of the Party that is in power. If he doesn't he should quit and let someone else with more intestinal fortitude to do so.

We have looked at the proposed Copenhagen Treaty. This is far beyond reducing our emissions to allegedly save the planet. This government can't even manage to get funding to help Aboriginals to reach them when it is directly giving it in Australia. Under this scheme of "compensation" our government will have no say in where this money is distributed and how - a disaster magnified a million times. These environmental taxes certainly won't reach the "environmental refugees". We have read widely on the subject of climate change. The science is not settled - it is simply no longer independent of politics. We object to Australia adopting an ETS and being part of the Copenhagen Treaty.

Expensive, government subsidized energy alternatives, such as, wind turbines and geothermal (brought to you by a Tim Flannery company), clean coal etc.
When has the IPCC been a scientific body? No scientific debate there; papers submitted, authors opinions ignored. IPCC prepare a biased political opinion to justify their existence and paid holidays in places like Tokyo, Barcelona and Copenhagen. I'm envious!

I am of the strong opinion that EST is based on questionable science at best, I fail to understand why some in business, government and even science dismiss the hard evidence available that shows climate change is a natural occurrence. Proven it seems by the hard evidence laid down in the polar ice cores over 100's of thousands of years. Before any EST is laid upon the Australian people we must DISPROVE this evidence presented to the world by eminent scientists, and give the Australian people a plausible alternate explanation.

I request Sir that you and your parliamentary colleagues do not sign.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 9:58 PM
A study of Earth history clearly shows climate change has been with us since long before human domination. On a grand scale covering millions of years and, long before we became the dominent species, the humanoid effect on Earth's atmosphere has been minimal; it remains so!
Remember the 'global cooling' scare of the 80's, or the dire consequences predicted for millenium change?

If all the Gov'ts of the world sign this treaty ,all will be ruled by a ONE WORLD GOVT.All the constitutions of each country will be overriden by this treaty.My father was in the Russian army during WW2,he and his colleagues knew how the socialistic system(of so called equality)worked.Fortunately we migrated to Australia for a free life.NOW DUD RUDD & HIS COHORTS (on both sides of pollitics) want to see the same socialistic system introduced here and throughout the world to suit their own gains.(My parents said"The chosen few ate caviar while the rest starved)"I cringe at the thought...........Senator, is there a way by which we may be able to get a hold of this secret treaty and put it to the media? As an ex Vietnam vet we tried to stop the communistic hoard from taking over and it now appears that once again we're up the creek without a paddle. Regards Vic .T

I do not support the ETS (Extra Tax System) or the Copenhagen Treaty. As a public servant Kevin, we are your employer and as an employee you are required to act in our best interest and not your own. Running our country is like any business, and in any business you are required to seek approval from the owner of the business or the board to make large changes to the structure or to spend large amounts of money (or in this case throw large sums of money away). So with this proposed sell off Australia’s sovereignty at Copenhagen, which you are so intent on signing, I see that this monumental change to Australia’s structure requires that you ASK for OUR permission to make such changes.
As one of the board members of this fine company called AUSTRALIA, I can not see how this so called treaty can do anything to reduce carbon. I can not see how this will not cripple our county regarding exports which we so heavily rely upon, I can not see how this will benefit anyone except people such as Al gore who tell convenient untruths and who have vested interests in such ridiculous schemes.
So in conclusion Kevin, as your employer you DO NOT have my permission to sign, and if you can’t handle it, "resign".

I remember the Murray River at Robinvale back in '67 being so low we could walk across it, water not even up to our knees. So if these zealots are using drought as one of the harbingers of doom for the planet, I'm just curious as to what caused the river levels to be so low then.
And I am strongly against our hard earned tax dollars being used to prop up countries that really have no idea on how to manage an economy, and are blackmailing the western world to prop them up.

Expose on Climate Change ConArtists

the real "vested interests" in this debate are behind the alarmists, not the sceptics, which is why your Government has just given a $90 million grant to a trial "green" energy plant whose shareholders include doom-preacher Tim Flannery - even though all three wells of the company's first geothermal plant have broken down.

Third, what threatens my children's future is not my scepticism but your mad plans to waste billions of dollars on a threat that seems not to exist.

Fourth, you deceive when you say "4000 scientists" wrote the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on which you base your claim man is heating the world to hell.

In fact, just 60 of those (actually fewer than 3000) scientists specifically endorsed that claim, and even they admitted they were just 90 per cent sure. Moreover, their finding has been rejected by petitions signedby thousands of other scientists.

Lastly, I'm in no conspiracy, and until a year ago fought almost alone here as a sceptic. The real "political cowards" are those of your own ministers who know your global warming plan is a hoax fix to a hoax scare, but dare not speak.

I do not want this government, or any subsequent government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, or any other instrument that requires the compulsory transfer of wealth from Australian workers to foreign governments.

The correct purpose of treaties is to govern our relationships with foreign powers. Correct treaties include treaties to demarcate sea boundaries, treaties to control the growth of armaments, free trade agreements, extradition treaties, visa/immigration agreements. The Copenhagen Treaty is another step on a disturbing trend. That trend of course is the increasing use of treaties for questions of domestic governance. Environmental policy, taxation policy, and business regulation are domestic matters. If there is to be action in any of these areas, the only purpose of a treaty is to bypass normal methods of scrutiny and debate and foist on the Australian people a fait accompli.

Furthermore, I oppose any 'carbon tax' or Emissions Trading Scheme as they will significantly hamper Australia's economic process without doing anything to resolve the problem of climate change (if the problem even exists, and the evidence for that is sketchy at best).

This petition is obviously a genuin attempt to redress the propsed moves of a man who is hell bent on making his mark in the history books of the World, not just the local edition. I understand that 75% of the Australian public did not support the "Sorry" apology - but it went ahead anyway. I often wonder what treatment the indiginous people would have recieved under an Asian landlord if the British had not forced thier constituency to holliday in the south all those years ago. So what then of the real emmission problem, dare I say Asia again. will they comply? China may be actually the leader in this arena as once again I believe they are errecting nuclier power plants faster than you can say Copenhagen. India will not comply and what this means is for us to compete on an industrial scale by taxing our production and importing free goods we will only see "Made in China/India " grow to the point where most serious manufacture will be sold off to these locations wehere already such icons as Bonds has gone that way due to the cheap labour and unrestricted manufacturing practices. Rudd isn't a bad man, but he seems very happy in the International spotlight with very little opposition from anyone who can chalange his position in a basically Labour Australia. Rudd isn't a statesman of the quality of Menzies or even Howard, but he lives in an era where media exposure is easy and he plays it like a violin. AlI I can say to finish is that this tax will impose another load on export and local coststhat will keep us struggleing to compete with our local area who will not be at Copenhagen.

Ii have read the draft Copenhagen Treaty and it is quite scary, seeming to be mostly aimed at a redistribution of wealth from the 'developed nations' to the 'developing' on a scientific premise that goes against most research findings. It accepts the IPCC's belief that emitted CO2 hangs around in the atmosphere for 100 -200 years, whereas most studies suggest it is only present for about 7 years fter emission. This draft should be distributed as widely as possible so people know the reality of what our PM is planning to sign. Of course we should assist developing nation, but not like this and not with penalties for non-compliance. Making us poor will not help anyone or the climate.

And unto Mother Earth, a Child was born - the green Son of Satan.

And all of the Fathers of the Corporate World rejoiced, rubbed their hands together with glee, then fell to their knees and gave thanks .... for all of the new taxes they could collect .... Carbon Tax, Water Tax, Huge Electricity Charges, Atmospheric Breathing Contribution, Cattle Flatulence Tax, Bank Bailout Tax ...while gifting 50 years worth of gas to China and paying their workers to take it.

And then million upon million of Asian slaves were brought in, and worked for low wages in the aged care industry, while the bulk of the elderly people's funds left the country via the Macquarie Bank.

Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country lost their jobs and their homes and went to live on the streets with their starving children.

Most of the food left the country via Anna Bligh's privatised railway and port and Australians had to pay threefold for the little that remained.

Dear Barnaby
You are one of the few voices or rationality in Parliament. Australians are being hoodwinked into believing that humans can dramatically influence climate change and indeed reverse trends. Climate change is with us one way or the other, in our time-since the last ice age. The very slow rise in sea levels attests to the reality but not to the nonsense of dramatic CO2 influence as the paramount determinant of change. It is not. The ETS is likely to make ordinanry Australian poorer and merchant bankers and traders of ETS wealthy.

Dear Barnaby
You are one of the few voices or rationality in Parliament. Australians are being hoodwinked into believing that humans can dramatically influence climate change and indeed reverse trends. Climate change is with us one way or the other, in our time-since the last ice age. The very slow rise in sea levels attests to the reality but not to the nonsense of dramatic CO2 influence as the paramount determinant of change. It is not. The ETS is likely to make ordinanry Australian poorer and merchant bankers and traders of ETS wealthy.

The Prime Minister has not revealed any of the details of the proposed treaty
and has no mandate to commit Australia to its unrealistic conditions. It is
imperative that he disclose all aspects of the treaty and ensure that the
electorate has a clear understanding of its financial ramiifications. The future well-being of all Australians is being placed at some peril by Mr Rudd`s apparent desire for self aggrandisement on the world stage.

Dear Sirs

I strongly disagree with Australia adopting and ETS and or signing anything in Copenhagen or after Copenhagen in any way shape or form.

Copenhagen is a world governement by stealth. I do not want another layer of Governemet and all the taxes and infringements on my rights that will come with it.

The ETS is a terrible way to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel - it will make Al Gore the worlds first carbon billionaire and make our food cost more. This when we will have so many more millions in the world to feed.

Climate Change is not an exact science. In the 1970's scientists were predicting an Ice-Age by the year 2000!

John Howard was just as complicit in this as the Rudd Government. Isn't there something about foreign powers in our Constitution? Whoever is pushing this scam has got our Governments obeying them and that, to me, is a Foreign Power and that is Treason by John Howard and Kevin Rudd, along with their cronies. They aren't working for Australia at all. They are working for someone or something else.
Who are their advisors? They also are complicit and therefore guilty. Treason is or should be a capitol offence. What else is this, but?

I am and will remain most strongly opposed to any signature to any part of the Copenhagen Treaty.

I am very conscious of the effect of that the ETS and the signing of the treaaty in Copenhagen wiil have, with the loss of our sovereignty and control over our Australian way of life. The establishment of the United Nations as the Body controlling our destiny and overriding our constitution destroys our freedoms and the Democracy in which we have fought for and in whichwe have been priviiledged to live in over the last couple of hundred years. This is the Loony Left trying to inflict their Idiology on Our Nation and all who live in it.

Thursday, November 12, 2009 12:44 PM
It is essential that someone stands up for the Australian people. Turnbull has shown that he is no more than a Labor stooge and too many other Liberals are putting their concerns for re-election ahead of shaking the cage in opposition and standing up for Australians. It is nothing less than treason which Rudd and the Wong Penny are attempting to force upon us. Even a small amount of research shows man made global warming to be a scam, and proper attention should be given to addressing known environmental problems caused by de-afforestation and pollution and mis management of our waterways etc.
It is pleasing to see Queensland still producing stalwarts like Jo and Pauline.

We as a society don't spend money on many other scientific theories -" just in case", even though those theories are more likely to happen and with more damaging consequences than the AGW theory.
There is no reason to spend an ever increasing amount on money on this issue just because politicians with the support of some unscrupulous scientists, are saying so.

The principal problems with the ETS are that a.) there are holes in it big enough to drive a Queensland cattle truck through, and b.) it gives the minister enormous discretionary power.

In short, as I told MT, it is empire building on a grand scale. No surprises to learn that PW is in charge.

In addition to the above, how much will it cost to administer this scheme. Nothing said about that in the legislation., In addition, nothing said about how many people will be employed either.

I've been involved in project planning and running a business. If anyone came to me with a 'business proposal' like this I'd sack them.

We agree wholeheartedly that the Carbon Reduction Scheme should be rejected by the Senate. There is no concrete scientific evidence that carbon emissions are causing a change in the climate. Our climate changes on a daily basis as it has done since the beginning of time, therefore the only conclusion you can come to that the said scheme is nothing more than another tax needed by the Labor Party to bring the country accounts into surplus having bankrupted Australia by badly directed stimulus packages.

Go for it. Do all that is necessary to stop what will become a millstone round our necks from becoming a reality. Both the ETS and immigrant issues are frightening and the fact that we are not kept informed by the authorities, who hope we will all go away, is to say the least even more disturbing. Whatever happened to the election promise of transparency in government? Hmmm.......

I am a Sydneysider and unfortunately there is no National Party representative in my electorate.

In Sydney our only saving grace is the likes of Alan Jones and Brian Wiilshire. My husband and I have felt hamstrung, despite our protestations on radio and emails to Liberal Party Headquarters, but from what we have experienced with the latter it seems to have fallen on deaf years.

We are in a Labor Federal Electorate, Parramatta, only by a small margin, and there it also seems to fall on deaf ears. I am about to give them another serve.

We are eternally grateful for your bull terrier approach and despite the sometimes 'desperation' we feel it only takes someone with guts and clout to take a stand and the rest come out to march behind them. The scene is changing rapidly though.

Blessings Barnaby Joyce.

We the people know nothing about this Ets or the proposed Treaty.I will not agree until I know the full facts. The whole thing is too secretive, which is typical of a Labour Government. Scrap the ETS and scrap the treaty until the people of Australia are fully informed and capable of making an informed decision.

CLIMATE CHANGE due to CARBON EMISSIONS IS NOT SUPPORTED

We now have reported recent factually based scientific reports and fully informed revelations which contradict the previous science and statistics presented and expounded by Al Gore, Kevin Rudd, and Penny Wong et al.

Given that the new reported science and statistics evidences that there is no scientific proof that climate change is caused by carbon emissions and in fact there is a well founded claim that carbon emissions does not cause climate change, therefore it surely behoves the Liberal Party as well as the National Party to now not endorse, in any way what so ever, the Labor Party Carbon Policy and its Carbon Emission Bills and certainly Australia should not be a signatory to The Copenhagen Draft Agreement.

There is no doubt that there is pollution but this can be appropriately dealt with within Australia without Labor's tax impost in the form of carbon credits.

Most people, with whom I discuss this subject, support you and Senator Nick Minchen in your stance on this matter and certainly not that currently expounded by Malcolm Turnbull and Kevin Rudd.

The up to date science and statistics do not justify Labor’s claim that there is a man made carbon threat then surely Messrs Rudd, Swan, Tanner, and Ms Wong and Ms Gillard have no justification for saying that Labor is fulfilling an election undertaking that was - as now reported - based on previously wrongly claimed statistics and science.

Keep up the good work Australia needs you.

Australia is a relatively minor polluter in the world. It makes little sense for us to accept the costs of setting standards that major polluters will see as unattainable in the foreseeable future. Our targets need to be appropriately matched to economic realism - a system based on hastily assembled subsidies in support of unrealistic medium term targets will not serve us well in the longer term. Australia will never be seen as a world leader in an economic context.

When the rest of the planet reaches Australia's current less than 1% of generated greenhouse gases (not the per capita bureaucratic clap trap or the B/S SO OFTEN spruked by Eco terrorists) When they can scientifically prove it and I don't means using subjective modelling to reach a flawed but politically satisfying outcome, then and only then will I support ETS. Purporting steam vapor rising from cooling towers as being copious amounts of pollutants and ignoring the fact that particularly in Queensland Exhaust stacks on power stations and other facilities have had devices known in the industry as "scrubbers" which under federal legislation in place in excess of 15years stop approximately 99.5% of pollutant particulates escaping into the atmosphere.

Kevin Rudd you are an excellent con man and spin doctor, and you have successfully pulled the wool over so many Australian's eyes. You do not give a crap about what you are doing to Australia, as long as you get your way. The one big thing you have in your favour is an incompetant opposition leader in Malcolm Turnbull. At the moment the only politician worth his salt is Barnaby Joyce, he is the only one prepared to speak out and be passionate about Australia. I hope Malcolm Turnbull either lifts his game or resigns, and a person who is prepared to listen to the Australian people takes over before the next election.

We are becoming an over governed and over taxed country. Government decisions do not reflect the majority voice of the people but minority groups who make a lot of noise. People need to make the most of what they know now as freedom because we are not going to have it in the future. Bring back the good old days when people felt free and not burdened by someone's pie in the sky idea of what is going to end the world. At the end of the day behind these ideas was someone selling a book, a movie or going to make money out of it somehow and poor old Joe Blog will pay at the end of the day.

We could benefit from a better understanding of the science and art of propaganda, just as much as, or perhaps more than, the complex science and art of climate. We'd be well served by getting better at spotting logical fallacies and subtle emotional media influencers. The idea of climate change caused by man is a clever load of bollocks. Ultimate winner – perhaps tax coffers. Ultimate losers – likely the average person. Some countries & companies will fare better, or worse, but like the GST cost will be traded & passed on.

If governments were truly fair-dinkum about saving us from the 'dreaded catastrophes' that come from burning carbon, do you think they would encourage revving up industry and consumption with such super low interest rates? Don’t implement the CPRS. If there is truly concern, save us & put interest rates up now.

There are no websites that support "man-made" global warming. CO2 is not a poison, it is a fertalizer. The more CO2 is present the faster the vegetation grows to 'gobble' it up. Visit www.John_Daly.com for more information. Get hold of a copy of his book called the Green House Trap and become informed. As far as I'm see it the Global Warming issue is the birth of a whole new global industry.

The science on climate change is far from settled and the nett impact Australia has on the generation of emissions is miniscule. There needs to be more open debate on the ETS and what it will mean financially for future generations.

Do not sign this iniquitous agreement. It is based upon false logic designed to lead the casual reader into a sense of alarm and despondency which can be assuaged by paying higher taxes which, as usual, will not be applied to the resolution of the perceived and, in this case, non-existent issue.

'Copenhagen' is a document that transfers many of our rights to other, typically offshore, parties - it is a transfer of our sovereignty. You don't believe this, get a copy from the internet and read it!

I support this petition. When you start to see more compelling evidence from scientists coming out that rejects the present science of climate change as mere assumptions or popular opinions, and you have a government that is continually pushing for radical economic changes to support such increasingly falsified information, and then you have a whole bunch of western governments getting together to agree on policies that cost their country's bottom line and effectively form a world government (and noting that the world has not been able to agree on anything since the stopping of hitler and japan in ww2), you have to wonder what the motive is. I'm certainly not willing to bank my livelihood and that of my children, on such a scheme, until it is all out in the open for the people to honestly vote on by referendum. Heck we can have them to try and change the flag - a mere drop in a bucket compared to locking us into generations of debt and allegiance to a higher government than Australia and the Commonwealth.

Thank you to the Nationals for standing against this dangerous treason.

We stand to loose our rights and freedoms because of lies or Knee jurk reactions.
Hold the Government to account ,and work hard to expose this darkness and those who are pushing it especially the Greens.
My Father fought in WW2 and was a MM winner to keep us free .
We are being duped on the strength of Carbon excess,rubbish.Common sense should prevail we are still here after Kraktoa exploded and Mount St Helens these eruption through that much carbon into the atmosphere it pails into insignificance.i believe there is enough scientific fact to suggest the Earth is cooling .We are a blessed nation through good Goverment laws and Constitution and need to continue to be so so we can continue to come from a position of strength to help other third world Countries for positive change (The people)I have been with my wife on 3 short term mission trips to share life changing Good news of the Power of Jesus Christ.It takes faith in a Loving God who can change anything and turn Nations to good .
For this Country requires its people and its Polititions to have Faith and all the Confidence protection and benifits that go with it Vision and personal Guts.I dont know you Barnaby but I will pray that you and your team could be or become all of the above.
This Country is big and has the right stuff to be greater.Here is a suggested Vision.
Safe Nuclear Power ,Water and Natural Gas.
Pump water from the East coast of Australia Newcastle to Brisbane via pipes and tunnels to existing town centres out west and or create new Cities ,Nuclear power would be required .I understand it to be safe these days and why dont we use it .
The other major base power sourse is natural Gas.Metgasco has the largest Gas fields in Northern NSW and is working on base power stations in that region.By providing water and power to Allow expansion you Could increase population expansion properly if not for our own Capital cities but for oversees people desperate for better lives.Sydney is becoming grid lock and will get worse if policy is not affected, but you must have planning and hard decisions and incentives (Like plenty of work) need to made with confidence.The other need is Finances,all our precious resourses which are being sent over seas ,this needs to be taxed and the money spent on the above vision while the river is flowing.
Look at Israel for technology .They have the smartest people in the World,Im not biest but 95% of Jewish people have won the Noble prize and they turned that small piece of desert from 1948 to some of the most fertile land in the world.
I have sent my comments to Senator Cory in South Australia as well who thinks they are good Ideas.
Come on Barnaby fire up and go hard.There are a lot of ordinary people waiting for the right stuff .

Appreciate the oppurtunity to speak.

Scientific data does not support the cataclysmic scenarios being presented as the 'raison d'etre' for an ETS and a global treaty.

We are required to be wise stewards of our society and our environment however the proposed ETS will have a significant negative economic impact on our citizens while not making any real difference to our environment. Furthermore, the political intent of the Copenhagen Treaty, which is only now coming to light, erodes the democratic freedoms our nation currentlt enjoys and offers to others.

Addicted to Money on the ABC last night said that the Chinese have bailed out the banks in America with their savings. Hardly third world. I am totally fed up with this Prime Minister, who the unions hate because he did not keep to his word re Workchoices - I was a union rep - now have no time for them. Now he wants to sell us down the gurgler. I only wish the Nationals had more swing and you would be PM. You speak for the people.
Friday, November 13, 2009 10:32 AM
There are so many things that are wrong with this scheme.The government speaks of fair trade, but the average Australian isn't fully aware of the consequences of this scheme-I certainlly know I'm not. Is it really a fair trade to trade your RIGHT to anything whether it be your right to a lolly or your right to your carbon emissions.( to me taking the right of the householder of their carbon emissions and making certificates out of them to be traded to large companies to offset their carbon emissions is just like giving the large companies a lolly reward. And to trade a few light globes and a shower rose for your right certainly is not a fair trade!.) I do not believe this gives anyone any incentive to improve the impact of carbon emissions especially large companies and companies that are approaching householders to exchange their right- especially when some companies are not declaring to householders their intention to make trade certificates out of these rights or giving cooling off periods at the point of contact. I believe that each person is reponsible for their carbon emissions whether you are a stay at home mum, like me, or an international company. We all need to change our ways and accept our responsilbility or liablity to our environment and the impact we place on it.
As for the copenhagen treaty Please fight the Rudd government in signing this treaty. Australian was founded on truth, justice and the Almighty God. Lets keep it that way.

I fully support this petition to have the Australian Senate reject any Emmissions Trading Scheme (ETS) at this stage, and further request that Australia does not committ to any obligation at Copenhagen until we, the Australian people, have had time to hear, discuss and have the opportunity to vote on what is being proposed. The truth is that we have had Global Warming ever since the last Ice Age. The current projections of gloom that we are being told is going to happen are modelling exercises based on unknown and relatively untested science. This science is at least projecting conditions that will occurr in half a century from now, but we still have politicians supporting an ETS compliance now, blaming floods and bushfires that have happened this year on global warming as proof - we need truth not fiction and the current ETS is based on fiction. Defend Australians at home - no ETS until we know the science is right and we have the full truth about the intentions and ramifications of any ETS type scheme!

We do not support the signing of the Copenhagen treaty by our Prime Minister. Climate change is a natural cycle and would become a minor issue in the wake of Kevin Rudd signing this treaty. The effect would be that he would have sold out Australiia to the control of a global panel who would sap our finances, and therefore our primary and secondary industries, which would result in massive unemployment and we would find ourselves fast becoming a nation in poverty. We would come under the controll of foreigners, as the nations who have signed would no longer live in a democracy, but our constitution would be overridden and our prime minister would have surrendered us to their will.

I completely agree with halting the adoption of a scheme within this country that has been proven to be worthless in others. An active plan to reduce the amount of pollution being spilled into the Earths biosphere and not a tax that will achieve zero net result, in any sense other than economically, would seem to be a more prudent avenue of attack. Even planting a single tree will do more to improve the planet than this revenue raising debaucle. On what data is the Government basing their decisions? Has there ever been a report scrutinised within Canberra that was based on the double blind principle or is the information evaluated the result of scientific investigation with a particular result in mind. With the "health" of the planet in the balance, within the next 1000 years at current rates of world wide development and population expansion(from some sources), perhaps those in power should be listening to findings based from pure sources and not those based on the current world political scare tactic.

Dear Sir,
I strongly disagree with Australia signing an ETS treaty in any form and, in particular, the upcoming Copenhagen Treaty. Not only will it substantially increase Australia's costs and be overwhelmingly burdensome as a nation, it will also most undesirably tie us in with a Global Government system that can totally control every financial aspect of our country, rendering us powerless as a proud and independant sovereign nation. The science of man-made global warming is far from settled and the scheme is ridiculous anyway. Surely science does, however, support the fact that the planting of trees and re-forestation uses carbon dioxide, replenishes both oxygen in the air and also the fertility of the soil. So, let's adopt a strategy that we know will work !

Surely science does, however, support the fact that the planting of trees and re-forestation uses carbon dioxide, replenishes both oxygen in the air and also the fertility of the soil. So, let's adopt a strategy that we know will work !

I strongly disagree with Australia signing an ETS treaty in any form and, in particular, the upcoming Copenhagen Treaty.

To tell me that we need a CTS but not tell me the impact it will have on me and my family financially - I want no part of it, in any way.

Rudd, stop the regurgitated policy phrases and honestly outline to the Australian public what the CTS entails in full, and not treat me like an idiot or beguile me in to signing up to something by telling us that you will tell us after the event what we have signed up for.

I fully endorse this petition.

I support Senator Barnaby Joyce in demanding that Australia does not sign the Copenhagen Treaty. Or for that matter any other United Nations contract/treaty/agreement. It will give money to continue to support developing nations continue the way they have been for decades. Pollute and surpress.

I agree with much of what Sen Joyce states. He seems the only logical, sane person in parliament at the moment, apart from a handful of others. They all seem to be protecting the electors who voted many of the monkeys into parliament. The government should listen to the people and not sign the Copenhagen Treaty.

Keep up the good work Sen Joyce.

Mr Prime Minister

As a christian I strongly oppose you signing the Copenhagen Treaty & Emissions Trading Scheme. I do not approve of you handing over power over our great country of Australia to what is essentially an unelected one world governing body that we as a country will forever be answerable to.

Mr Rudd, as a so called 'Christian' you would be well aware that a one world government is one of many signs of end times approaching - be careful what you agree to - as one day you will not only be answerable to an unelected one world goverment but to God himself. This is not just about what you do as Prime Minister of this country, but about your own salvation.

May God give you the wisdom to be able to separate truth from deception.

Yours sincerely

Nicole.

We are being hoodwinked by the Rudd government and the Copenhagen treaty is an underhand way of bringing the world into a one-government system with total control over everyone whose government signs up to it. This is taking away all our rights to a democracy and we have not voted for such a system. Even more stupid is the fact that third world countries most likely won't be signing and all of us in the western world will be forced to give up our rights and pay moneys as directed by a world government. By signing this agreement we will have given away all our sovereign rights and will also never be able to claim them back. This is tantamount to treason!! Rudd must be brought to account!!!!!

This Government must think we Australians came down in the last shower, if they thought we wouldn't get wind of this insidious Treaty which will change life as we now it for generations to come. This treaty has nothing at all to do with climate change, which has been disproved by 31,478 scientists, but everything to do with creating a new world government which will have control over EVERYTHING. Email, write, blog, Facebook your objection to this ETS treaty straight away. More importantly - pray against it!
Friday, November 13, 2009 12:55 PM

i feel like we are being taken for fools. Yes, i believe that the world temperature is changing, but it has and always will change. i believe that we have to look after the planet, but i don't believe that man is in total control of global warming or cooling for that matter. Australia will never lead the way in international affairs and we are kidding ourselves to believe that if Australia adopts this scheme the world will follow suit. We will be the mugs paying huge prices for everything as the big companies will use this reason to charge whatever they like for their goods and services. They are already doing this and it will escalate out of control if the ETS goes through. I believe that the ETS is a tax to pay back money that the Government is losing at a very great rate. i have always been a Liberal supporter, but i don't see anyone within the Libs with any backbone to stand up against the ETS and the Copenhagen treaty. Stay strong!

# Michael Walshe
Friday, November 13, 2009 1:10 PM
I would like to express my concerns about the possibility of our great, democratic nation signing a treaty that will in effect relinguish our right to make decisions as a sovereign nation.
I am talking about the Global Warming Summit to be held in Copenhagen in
December and the ETS Treaty. This treaty will in effect create a world
government under the auspices of the United Nations that will use he "cost" of carbon emissions, a tax when all is said and done, that would have wealthy countries like Australia pay poorer 3rd world countries a "climate debt". We would have no ability once we sign this treaty to withdraw from the agreement, nor the financial obligations it brings because it would require the agreement of all other parties who sign, and this would not happen as Australia will be one of the biggest paying counties.
My concerns are around the following points:
1)Loss of our democratic freedom. We have the most robust, sound and fairest democracy in the world. Why would we want to begin destroying this great legacy our forefathers have left us.
2)The premise that the world's climate change issues are based on the so
called greenhouse effect that our carbon emissions (CO2)have caused. With the latest measurements recently conducted by Professor Richard Lindzen from MIT, we now have concrete scientific proof that the global warming impacts caused by carbon emissions are only 1/6th of that suggested by the United Nations. This means that our climate issues have other major causes and we need to try and identify those instead of placing a debit burden upon Australians that will have little impact on the global warming problem.
3)My concerns about the people and organisations behind this treaty who wish to introduce a 'one world government', in particular the so called "Club of Rome" who in effect control the world finances. These people do not have Australia's best interests at heart and this greatly concerns me.
4)The lack of information and debate from the Rudd government on such an important issue, that will directly impact all Australians.
I implore you not to sign this treaty at this time and let the scientific
community continue to discuss the ramifications of Professor Lindzen's
results and the impact this will have on the whole global warming issue. I
would also ask that you reconsider what the potential impacts that the
proposed 'one world government' in this treaty could have on our great
country.
Yours sincerely, Mike
# Brian Tideman
Friday, November 13, 2009 1:12 PM
I disagree with the signing up of Australia to any ETS for at least two reasons. Firstly, an ETS scheme allegedly involving less production of CO2 will have almost no effect. There are much bigger influences such as water vapour and beneficial effects of retaining forests and vegetation. Secondly, we must never hand over jurisdiction of even parts of our sovereignty via UN Conventions and such ETS agreements. It is bad enough that we have tended to lose control of our own economy and rate of employment through adherence to global financial schemes.

If I thought that even for a moment that the proposed ETS would change anything to make the world a better place I would sign it in a minute. Unfortunately the ETS creates no value (for anyone), does nothing to reduce carbon emissions or effect climate change and appears to be a high horse for Kevin (Hyperboleman) Rudd to climb up onto.

I cannot believe that we have finally created a means of taxing the air that we breathe - affecting business and the way they do business and encouraging and supporting sustainable business and green business options and development whilst actively discouraging unsustainable business through a range of means is the only way. STOP making the individual citizens of Australia responsible for something they have no capability of controlling or changing - it is polictically stupid and shallow - even if it does get you a gurnsey on the world stage.

it will mean there is very little market options when investing as there would be no currency trading.

it means that all commodity's, stocks and bonds will go out the window.

50%+ of large company's that rely on exports/imports would go under.

it would mean a costly change to the already existing monetary system that isn't worthwhile.

and last but not least there will be countrys taking advantage of other countrys by exploiting the system.

The UNFCCC Secretariat promotes this whole climate change farce through its science arm, the IPCC. Although the IPCC conducts no scientific research, it represents itself as the final word on climate change. The IPCC is led by political activists, not practicing research scientists. The IPCC guidelines "explicitly state that scientific reports have to be changed to ensure consistency with the politically motivated Summary for Policymakers (as stated in the book "ConUNdrum....The limits of the UN and the Search for Alternatives".

Dear Sir.
I cannot endorse signing of the Copenhagen treaty by the Australian govt under any circumstances. The existing science behind man made global warming seems to have been manufactured to suit political requirements rather than answer questions related to perceived Earth changes at this very narrow point in time. It would appear that the sun cycles , the position of our galaxy in space, electric forces within space etc are more plausible explanations for global warming.The recent and largely unpublished fact that all the planets around our sun are displaying a heating trend lends further weight to non man made influences on global climate.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
-- Margaret Mead, anthropologist

"It is a well-known fact that although the public is fine when taken individually, when it forms itself into large groups, it tends to act as though it has one partially consumed Pez tablet for a brain." -- Dave Barry, Humourist

These two quotes sum up how the global warming scam is being played out right now.
The control group is very determined to change the world, and the stupidity of mob-mentality is going to let them do it.

First tell a huge lie. Say it with Authority, and keep repeating the lie, over and over.
Then conjure and craft the opinion of the public to match.
Each member of the mass, seeing those all around apparently believing, also comes to believe the lie.
The few intellectuals who recognise the lie can then be easily sidelined as 'deniers'.
Public stupidity will then accept the whole one-sided bunch of spin as being 'reality'.

A complicit media machine is required to form public opinion, using spaced repetition to programme the masses.
Very few people will even notice that the mass-media story is completely devoid of the contrary argument.

If some of the gloss wears off the spin, then simply shift focus onto something else.
They started by telling us that the world was going to destroy itself in a thermal run-away situation.
When it was pointed out that the world had been cooling for the last 11 years, they just shift to saying that carbon is pollution.

Now that it has been pointed out that CO2 is not pollution, but actually a useful gas which is necessary for survival of life on earth,
they just shift to saying that the oceans are going to turn to fearsome acid.

We could point out that CO2 levels have been 10 times higher in the past, and that fossils of calcium carbonate shells still formed at the time.
This pulls the carpet out from under the acid spin story, but why worry ?
They will just come out with some other equally ludicrous crap, and the gullible public will believe it !

No matter how 'right' we are, it is a game we can never win.
This is because we are chasing the wrong target !
The whole climate change caper is just a diversionary tactic.
It keeps the punters distracted, so they will never notice that a totalitarian world government is being created.
The ill-informed still think that the Copenhagen Treaty is actually about man choosing next week's weather !!!

If man could control the climate, the weather bureau would be setting the weather, not trying to predict it.
So, logically speaking, this whole 'take your money and freedom to fix the climate' thing is a croc of the proverbial.

Even if you blindly believe that lowering man-made CO2 will magically fix some problem they claim exists, their proposed solutions are useless.
The USA 'Cap and Trade' scheme is calculated to lower global temperatures by one tenth of a degree in a century.
Australia's proposed 'Emissions Trading Scheme' will reduce total greenhouse gases by one millionth.
Wow, add those effects together and they will definitely save us all from certain oblivion!

The actual result of the proposed 'climate' solution, is the destruction of developed economies.
Yes, I know you don't believe me. So go and research it for yourself, it is the only way to find out the truth.
Estimates include two million more people lose their jobs, 40% of businesses become unprofitable and fold.
This is a simple concept though. Add more costs to a business and it becomes less profitable.
Add too much cost, and it falls over. We know that all costs will rise under their schemes.
What you have to ask yourself is, why would anyone actually want to destroy capitalism ???

The other point to notice is that when CFC gasses were found to be a hazard, CFCs were banned.
Now they say CO2 is bad, but their plan this time is simply "give us lots of your money".
Their emphasis with CO2 has always been "pay up", rather than "stop emitting".
What does this tell us about the motivation for all this ?

One should also consider that if you wanted to run a money & power scam, CO2 is the perfect gas to demonise.
Almost everything in modern life, including agriculture and cooking for instance, relates to CO2 emission.
So the massive tax they are whacking on CO2 is really a tax on almost everything.
It is ingenious in that it is impossible to avoid.
The side benefit is the pretext it provides for ever-reducing privacy and freedom.
In order to "save the planet", government must not only reach into your pocket, they must also stick their nose into all of your life and business.
It is a totalitarian dream come true (seriously)!

The exceptionally brilliant part of the scam is in its scalability.
Most scams have factors which limit their maximum yield.
The climate change debt scam, though, does not seem to have any significant impediments to growth.
Initial pricing will be $40/tonne for CO2.
This doesn't seem so bad. The modelling shows that society can afford it, and so it will not be resisted.
Once they get the hooks in via the Copenhagen Treaty, and with it's "Enforcement" provisions active, then the fun will start!
It has already been suggested by a greenie that a price of $225/tonne will actually be necessary "to save the planet".

As you can see, all they have to do is say "we need more money to save the planet", then they can just take it from you.
And what are you going to do about it then ?
The extra cost will be built into everything that you buy!

Some genius politician has already proposed a solution to the thorny problem of low income individuals who can't afford it.
The perfect solution ? Give them more welfare money of course!!!
So from where will that extra welfare money come ? Your increased income taxes, naturally.
Are you starting to get the big picture here ?
Factor in 2 million more people on unemployment benefits while you're contemplating.

They will initially take about 2% of GDP from each developed country (go ahead, look it up, do the math and be frightened).
But this is just the beginning.
They will have the power to take as much of your money as they want, and to enforce that action.
And by that time, you will be completely powerless to stop it.
This treaty your illustrious leader is about to sign will take precedence over the constitution.

The only way to prevent this happening, is to take back control of your supposedly democratic government.
You know, the ones who are supposed to represent "our" best interests!
Unless you call your federal representative and demand that the treaty not be signed, our country will be willingly submitted to this financial destruction.
How much pain did the global financial crisis cause you ? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Now would be a really good time to start thinking.
You might even like to do something proactive about protecting your children's future.
Later may be too late.

If you take the time to read the true scientific evidence you will soon realise that the ETS is not supported by anyone who is relevent to this field of expertise. Naturally our dum arse government led by Rudd would go for something so miss informed.

I strongly endorse this petition, I do NOT want to see Australia as a Policed PROVINCE to a U.N. financial branch.
By signing this treaty we will agree to take on tough DEBT (termed as carbon production) in all legal terms that, unless we all stop breathing, is impossible to pay back. If we do this, we shall for ever be subservient to the UN's ADMINISTRATION.

I do NOT wish to be part of this Treaty, and Mr Rudd does NOT have a mandate from me, nor permission. I do NOT wish to be an economic slave to global Corporations (understand 'interested parties' that 'may' sit on the management board as corporations) through this system.

I've read through the admendment, this IS administrative dept, which will be complete with bodies charged with our finance, and punitive measures, which our Government will be bound to as being in default due to emissions.

SIGNIFICANT is that if we exercise our power to change goverment officials because we don't like being told how much fuel we can (without penalty) put in a vehicle, the newly elected still have to meet their LEGAL commitments as they are bound. EFFECTIVELY MAKING THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE USELESS.

Please don't let Mr Rudd do something so ridiculous. There are more effective ways to care for earth than to hurt Australia and the people in this way

This will only increase the cost of food to all voters - even with agriculture exemption, input and processing cost will be taxed. When Howard introduced GST we had continual information - to date the Government has not informed the voting public on the figures, operation or consequences that the CPRS will have on Australian Public (they need to remember they are elcted representatives) and as such should consult with the public before signing the Treaty. Keep up your wonderful efforts.

Comparison of computer projections of the IPCC to the actual temperature data of the Hadley center shows that the projections are wrong. As a result, CO2 driven global warming is not supported by the data.

The globe cools and warms in cycles, and its cooling cycle has started from 1998 until about 2030. Cooling or warming by about 0.7 deg C is natural mean global temperature variation, and we must adapt to climate change as a result of these changes in temperatures. It is futile to attempt to stop something that is natural.

Well done Senator!
Someone with some guts.
We may be wrong but why is our Government so quiet on detail?
The Copenhagen agreement is a treaty which overrides national sovereignty. A treaty can be modified without the consent of the people of the Nations participating.
Together with the ETS it puts the future of the world's population into the hands of unelected bureaucrats advised by lobbyists from the Multinational Food and Pharmaceutical industries.
In ten years all food production could be regulated by multinationals - only synthetic vitamins available - all who protest be labelled with a mental illness.

I support this petition. Brining in an ETS is madness even supposing increasing CO2 was having a significant impact on world temperatures. Instituting any sort of carbon tax here will just increase costs particularly to energy intensive businesses who in time will be forced to relocate to countries that aren't going to do anything about reducing their CO2 emissions.
ETS is all about Rudd’s ego, he’s desperate to have it passed before Copenhagen so he can go there and say Australia is leading the world and have everyone tell him what a big fella he is.
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 9:00 PM

I believe the Labor Government is rushing this ETS/CPRS through Parliament so Kevin Rudd can look better in front of other politicians in Copenhagen.
The introduction of a new tax that will greatly influence Australia's economy in a negative way should not be an opportunity for Kevin Rudd to try and prove himself as a world leader which he clearly is not.

The people pushing global warming have but one goal that is bring down the economies of first world countries and to give world government a leg up. People need to look at the empirical evidence and ignore the computer modelling. The science is not set particularly when the original michael mann study was proved to be be deeply flawed if not a fraud. People need to read for themselves and wake up.

I totally disagree with the direction the Rudd Government is heading with the ETS and trying to lock Australians into very significant financial hardships, without scientific consensus, or at least robust debate. If Rudd was heading a private company, he would be instantly sacked for stupidity and poor judgement. I can't help believe that the ETS is a disguise for another agenda.

K Rudd's desire to sign away all Australian citizen's sovereign rights is verging on treason, and I believe it is only to further Rudd's personal ambitions that he is pushing this barrow so hard. The fact he is not prepared to disclose the total contents of the ETS and Treaty, and the financial costs to our citizens, displays his concern that the great majority of Australian's would strongly object to his action.
Thank you Barnaby for providing my wife and me with an avenue to voice our objections, please keep up the fight against this insidious bill.

Thank you Barnaby Joyce for standing up to this Climate Change scandal

The following scientific data should be made known to as many people as possible:

The % of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere is 0.038% which is measured at the surface of the earth not 10,000 metres up
 
CO2 levels have increased, over the last 5 years, at the rate of 0.64% a year.
 Australia is responsible for 1.2% of the total increase which amounts to 0.0076% per year
 
CO2 is not a pollutant, it is a colourless gas, plants and forests depend on it to live.

The molecular weight of air is 29. The molecular weight of CO2 is 44
(source:http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/molecular-weight-gas-vapor-d_1156.html)

CO2 is 52% heavier than air, therefore it logically is not up in the sky trapping the heat, it's near to the Earth's surface – feeding the plant life.

If you heard his speech recently, Wanye Swan is becoming increasingly desperate to not allow this to unravel, but unravel it surely will and the house of cards that is 'ClimateChange' will fall into a heap.

In any case valuable CO2 comprises a minor fraction of the gases of the atmosphere, and human endeavour contributed CO2 is but a poofteenth of total CO2.

Of course the climate is changing. It's a natural occurence. You don't need to be a scientist to know that. It's just another fear tactic that the socialists use to get control. Put the fear of God into the populace, and they'll agree to anything.

Who the hell does Rudd think he is, his actions are treasonable to think he can sign away our sovereignty to satisfy his megalomania without consultation with the Australian citizens.He chooses to listen to people whom he wishes and refuses to acknowledge a differing view by accredited scientists. Charity begins at home Rudd, you imbecile. All you do is put us in enormous debt and ignore our concerns re hospitals, schools, roads, the homeless and disabled etc to pander to that useless cocktail society the UN and establish yourself as some God like being, you are one sick puppy and should be certified. Your only claim to fame will be that you will have distinguished yourself as the worst Prime Minister this country has seen.

Are you nieve enough to believe China India Indonesia and the like are honorable enough to follow suit ? Wake up ! Being the "GOOD GUY " does not work in politiics and while I admire almost all of what you have done you have got this policy wrong !

Until countries such as the USA, India, China and Russia come on board, the whole exercise is pointless. No advantage to Australia, in fact the reverse with increased prices across all commodities, whilst other countries will be able to produce their exports much more cheaply, thereby making most of Australia's exports more expensive and probably non competitive.
Australia's emissions are miniscule compared to the aforementioned countries and even if we did not have any emissions ( imposible I know ) the climate of the world would not be influenced one iota.

I urge you and other members of the Senate to reject the CPRS and any form of an ETS. I also refute that there is any climate change occurring and that any warming and cooling of the planet is only cyclical as records would indicate. I also srongly consider that any ETS or CPRS is only a TAX and I fear once saddlrd with such a tax then we are stuck with it for eternity. Is this legacy we would want to hand down to our decendants?
Rudd and Wong have turned into arrogant dictators over this issue and are trying to force these schemes onto the Australian Public - they must be stopped.
# DAVID DUNCAN

I think that the present goverment should be concentrating on running this country by asking the people what they want. There are more important agenda's to be looked into than ETS. This is only another form of tax placed
on the population. Mr.Rudd and Penny Wong should come down from their pedestal and run this country to the benefit of it's population.

I'm very disappointed in the Liberals NON committment against the ETS.
Turnbell should be ashamed for not standing up to Rudd to protect all Australians from this never ending tax (thats all it is).
We (Australia) can't stop the climate change on our own. It would take EVERY nation earth to agree to stop emissions, and that will never happen!!

Clearly, this is an effort by the current Government and particularly the Prime Minister to big note at this Copenhagen 'gab fest'. My interpretation of 'Peer Review" is simply to get like-minded people to agree wtih your findings. INteresting that scientific reason is never part of the process here.

Dear Sir

I do not want the Rudd government to sign up to this ETS agreement, I am all for helping the planet however this smells badly of a money grab which is obviously going to have absolutely no effect on decreasing global warming but a huge effect on the day to day living costs of the average Aussie family. Kevin Rudds arrogance in signing up to something so important to our economic future with no proven benefits is quiet unbelievable.

With the recent exposure of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of potential fraud, "fudging" data, deleting data and emails illegally to avoid FoI requests, I cannot support the establishment of an ETS. Let alone the "HARRY_READ_ME.txt" file, which describes in detail the complete lack of control of data used to create models, putting every prediction in doubt.

The fact that a great portion of IPCC conclusions and hence future government policy is based on the data collected and presented by the scientists in this organisation means that the potential economic future of our country is based on lies and fraud.

I do not support an ETS when the science behind it is far from settled.

Barnaby, I support your stance on the climate change issue.
Based on leaked information and comments on ABC by one of Rudd's so called "yes" men, Flannery, it is indeed time for a halt to the discussions and the parliamentary vote on the issue.
The first thing killed in all of the debates is the TRUTH.
By all means tackle pollution and polluters.

face the results of years of laid back indifference at the ballot box. We get the government we deserve and this lot have led us up the "garden pass".
Once our leaders put pen to paper in Copenhagen it will be too late to try to
wriggle out of our future obligations- pity my grandchildren who will have to
foot the cost of our trusting simplemindedness. Lucky country-? Indeed !!

At last, a politician worth his salt and not afraid to take on issues for the betterment of Australia. Senator Joyce has got it right people, listen to his unbiased plain talk re this ets and you will see that this will hurt our country, our lifestyle, our wealth and contribute zero to any reasonable climate issue. I am sick to death of this socialist Rudd and his cohort Wong and its about time Turnbull got some balls and just refused to pass any form of this ets proposal. What a shame the libs have not got people with the calibre of Senator Joyce.
Well done to you sir
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 5:49 PM
Finally some sanity enters the fray. I think if I have to listen to another bleating greenie peddling another red agenda I think I will gag! Rudd and Wong's ETS is nothing but a glorified, punitive tax that will make those with vested interests richer than they deserve to be while those at the bottom of the food chain fund it.

That Rudd doesn't get it, or that he does and is knowingly deceiving the Australian people with this UN sponsored money grab, piggy backing the anthropogenic climate change LIE is, in my mind, enough cause to call for his immediate resignation along with that of his utterly inept government.

Is there no-one within the National Party with a similar kind of statesmanship to that of former PM John Howard who will replace Mr. Malcolm (capitulation) Turnbull, stand up to Rudd and Wong and tell them, on behalf of honest, everyday Australians, where to stick their bill?

No ETS

These no brainers Rudd the Dudd and penny Wrong , only have their own Political Agenda in motion. It is Criminal to think they won't allow Public Opinion & Debate in regards to their Proposed Lunacy of signing away Billions of our hard earned Tax moneys Annually to 3rd World Countries because of how Wealthy we as a Country are supposed to be. Yeh right, it will only cripple our Great Nation and make us a 3rd World Country ourselves in the end. They should stop and think a minute,as we the Australian people are their actual Employer, and overwhelmingly the majority of us do not want this crazy Carbon Tax . For one it will not alter anything in regards to climate , and if they had any intelligence at all they would know that CO2 actually enhances Plant growth which then obviously increases oxygen disbursement too. It is Gods Natural way of balancing things , and the honest Scientist of the World can prove there is no serious change to climate at all contributed by Mankind. If they were serious , they should legislate to fine the Large Polluting Companies that are seriously hurting our Planet with de forestation, and reward the ones that Plant and Harvest Sustainable Timbers like Pine.
As for giving the current 3rd World Countries assistance, Don't we already send Millions annually abroad to them anyway. There is only so much Cash flow to go round, and run up the GDP Credit Card of our land they are determined to do , and say they're doing it for the good of all Australians.

Climate changes has happened previously and is just a natural occurence. Another tax would only had to the woe's of Australia by increasing prices on everyday items as well as paying more tax! Why should farmers/businesses be excluded? Why should Australia lead the way when China and America who are the highest polluters not?

I am thoroughly disgusted with the way the Government has pushed this through without consultation, debate or allowance for the Australian people to have their say.

If they honestly believe this is best for the Australian people, why not put all the detail and ramifications out there for all to discuss before the next election.

I strongly urge you to maintain your objection and vote to delay this legislation until the Australian people can have a say.

I realise the emails I have sent to the Labor Senators will be ignored along with the overwhelming tide of opinion growing in the Australian community because of their belligerent attitude and will have NO effect the Labor Party but at least I will have raised my objection.

To Our Parliamentry Representatives and Senators.

The current outpouring of rage of the proposed emmissions trading scheme will subside. That is merely the issue that has focused public anger. The deeper wound that will not go away is at your betrayel of the people who elected you, trusted you, despite your all too apparent faults & shortcomings, to be as one with them in putting our nation & its peoples interests first. We never thought, never really believed you would betray us and our country.

But you have done just that. No matter the rationale by which you may seek to justify your actions, you betrayed our trust. You did so by stealth, secrecy: where there should have been openness there was spin & downright lies. Where there should have been respect for our views, our thoughts, our feelings regarding the future of our country and this planet & other peoples generally, there was only derision & contempt, be it by commission or ommision, the end is the same. Do any of you honestly think we don't care, for the future we leave to our grandchildren and for the fate of other peoples generally. WE do, of course we do, but we want to be consulted in that future.

But in your combines arrogance you choose to take the view; what could 'the people' possibly know, surely it was beyond their little minds to understand. No, we are they're leaders, we know what's best, time enough for them to be told once it becomes a fait accompli.

Shame on you, black burning shame upon your head, traitors every one.

So I say to you Aussies

This scheme will achieve nothing but will cost every person in Australia a great amount of money. The government & prime minister were elected on their promises to improve the country & its people & they should be concerning themselves with the important challenges facing us at present
(illegal entrants, deficit, jobs, cheap imports, health care, etc, etc).
To really make a difference, how about researching alternatives to crude derived fuels; such as methanol plus hydrogen from cabon monoxide & water?
Keep up the good work Barnaby. If you can run candidates in the cities, everyone will vote for them. Chris Thompson

Tens of Thousands of scientists have signed petitions to reject the global warming agreement, Copenhagen treaty which takes precident over our own constitution.

Please, you and I are in the 11th hour and need to take immediate action while we are still a free people. We as a nation can do something to stop this treaty and reject it

My belief is that the ETS should be deferred in the Senate to allow for further discussion and enlightenment for the voting public.
Radio is so full of people seeing the ETS, as Barnaby has always described it, as another tax. Voters are worried.
Bring on the double dissolution. Call Rudd's bluff. Have the guts to stand up to the Ruddites for the abominal use of spin.
The Vietnam war supporters were in the same league.............unmitigated deception. But with a little persuasion we won out of Vietnam.
Mobilse and Recognise this deception for what is really is.

Many wasted hours watching Senate question time waiting for Sen. WONG to convince me over climate change. All she's done is fail to answer reasonable and relevent questions and blindly follow the claims of god like figures such as Al Gore, and the now questionable science of those that have kept him fed. I am not the smartest person in the land but I am a citizen and voter in this country and entitled to question. The media and Rudd Government don't have the right to label me a fool for being a climate change sceptic, convince me and I'm yours but so far they've failed to do that so I will still question. More debate, more investigation into the strength of the science and please don't allow this Government of spin to sell out our freedoms to the corrupt U.N.

We are such a small player in the pollution stakes that it is ridiculous that we do this ahead of the rest of the world, especially before action by the countries that really could make a difference. The international community must think we are so naive to put our economy at such a disadvantage when any improvement to a cleaner atmosphere, based on anything Australia can do, would be minute. We should act in accord with the rest of the polluting world, when an international agreement has been reached, as part of united and effective action.
Friday, November 27, 2009 10:14 PM
this E.T.S signing must be stopped once and for all.
I do not understand how the politicians of Australia can just go in gung ho, without a great deal of thought, study or understanding of what they are about to do to this wonderful country of ours, and the people who live here.
My father was in the second world war in the airforce., as well as uncles and a brother in law who fought for this country.
They did it so that we could be feel and live in a democratic society, not overshadowed by communists and dictators.
Please ,Please, Mr Rudd and all your cronies in parliment read the documents before signing, as this disaster will effect you and yours as well as my family ,loved ones and friends.GOD SAVE AUSTRALIA
# Richard Dart

I completely oppose the Government's apparent intention for Australia to enter into any treaty at Copenhagen.

Having listened to Alan Jones' interview with Lord Monkton, it appears that a draft treaty has already been negotiated and circulated and that it has been kept secret from the Australian public. As it appears that the draft treaty proposes to seriously and irrevocably erode our sovereign rights as a democratic nation, entering into such a treaty in circumstances where this has not even been debated by the Australian people would amount to treason.

I also completely oppose the introduction of an ETS, as this will also impose a huge financial burden on the Australian public and the Australian economy, the effect of which does not appear to have been properly modelled as yet, with negligible impact on the effect that human activity allegedly has on climate change. While any Australian would support sensible policies to protect our environment, this scheme does not seem appropriate to achieve that end.

It a BIG NO from this family to the ETS, and to the requirement of the Copenhagen Treaty for "Developed countries to contribute funding to reduce the emissions of un-developed countries". A financial impost, or tax (read ETS), will in no way reduce emissions or change the temperature of the planet. Professor Richard S Lindzen, a key contributor to papers that attendees of the Copenhagen conference have ratified, has stated clearly that an ETS is not the answer. Why does Kevin Rudd feel that he has to be the BIG FRONT MAN in this.He seems to put his own self importance before the good of the country.

Enough is enough. the ETS will do no good to our country. All it is is making money off of peoples pollition and having it funded by the tax payer. All charges will only be passed on through to us from the big businesses anyway. If they want to put an end to green house gases and higher carbon emission, then go green. A government who tries anything else is looking out more for it's back pocket then its people.
# Kathy Jones

I strongly object to ANY action being taken over the 'supposed' climate change. There definitely should not be an ETS introduced in Australia.
Last week there was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about the discovery of emails of British scientists where they had discussed the falsifying of statistics regarding rises in temperature and other data.
This is one huge scam in my opinion and the Rudd government are going to decimate our country because of it. Makes no sense to me at all.
This all needs thorough investigation and if it's found to be a fabrication of data - the people responsible need exposing for what they are.
There are an awful lot of people becoming very wealthy because they call themselves 'Climate change experts'

Curious that a man who likes to preach to us all about our destruction of the world, of our CARBON FOOTPRINTS, that dear old Kevin "do as i say, not as i do" Rudd spends most of his political life galavanting around the world at the tax payers expense in, yes you guessed it, an aeroplane! Is this hypocrisy or what? As for Malcolm Turnbull, he is willing to put the Liberal Party ahead of his country. Shame on him.

Well done Sir, I had been looking for a way to have my voice heard and here it is, thankyou. I am opposed to the ETS based on information that I have recently read, watched and listened to. I am no scientist but have heard enough to see that anyone in authority who supports this ETS simply will not answer any direct questions when put to them, rather they dance around the questions (something to hide???). This is enough for me to want to stop it in it's entirety until we are all properly informed of whether or not there is Global Warming (which I doubt once again on information that I have found on the net). If 2500 scientists in the US are being paid to prove there is Global Warming, then I understand that fraud may be involved for if they can't prove Global Warming then their grants and subsequently jobs might end. On the other hand there are approx 30,000 scientists world wide who deny Global Warming and actually state (with factual data) that the earth is cooling, and they are not being paid to state this. I ask then what is in it for them but to simply tell the truth and I think it's about time K Rudd served us properly by independently researching this issue and not just relying on the US and his buddy Barak.
Yours thankfully

My take on the Australian article, fwiw..

The Australian has created a red herring to deflect public attention from what is really going on with carbon sinks. The Rudd Government has succeeded in removing the rights of landholders to use their own property
as they see fit. Do we own our own land purchased in good faith.. well not really any more it seems. Has anyone told the people this? seems not. (especially not the msm.)
Ideal situation for Labor, easy now to remove farmers from their land, and the Government can take control when the farmers walk off in disgust,

A Carbon Tax is ridiculous.It will not change the climate. Carbon dioxide is a plant fertilizer not a pollutant anyway.

Dear Senator, the carbon tax is the biggest hoax invented and tried to impose on ordinary Australians and people in other countries whose politicians have the same agenders as our rediculous redhead. Unfortunately the heavily left and onesided controlled media seems on Gillards side. Nobody seems to mention the large amount of CO2 put out by the recent large vulcano eruptions, by bush fires ( incl. backburning). Everything is blamed on human activities. But the big con is the trading in carbon papers, with banks like Goldman & Sachs the main players. They, and others in this line of trading will make a fortune on that. Very sad to see Fraser and Hewson speaking out in favour of it. I only can pray for a miracle. Best Wishes

Dear Barnaby,

I object to a carbon tax. I have oftern admired you, Bob katter, for your straight shooting, forthright approach.

If this sham of a Labor government is allowed to continue in control.
australia, will never recover.
I am against all these immigrants coming into this country.
I am against free trade.
i am against the united Nations

We, The People, do hereby put on notice those who would seek to impose wrongful agendas upon the people they profess to represent. I am a taxpayer and a voter and I have not been given the right of consultation or discussion about the proposed emissions trading scheme that the current government is hell bent on implementing before they are voted out. Why would these people who claim to represent us want to be remembered for bringing in a tax that will not liberate the population, but enslave them even further to the system of big business and government control.

online petition for a referendum on the Gillard carbon tax. We the Australian people are sick and tired of governments "telling us what's good for us and not listening to the voice of the people It is political suicide. Government has given carte blanche to utility companies to charge what they will with out regard to the terrible social effects on the well being of the average Australian. Normal working people are having their utilities turned OFF in the middle of winter!! these utilities are ESSENTIAL SERVICES and the government has a duty of care to ensure that these services are within the reach of it's citizens. Government has demonised the pensioners, the elderly and the disabled etc. These elderly pensioners have a face, they are your Mothers and fathers, Aunties uncles and Grand parents. They have to go cold in the winter for fear of using too much electricity, they have to skimp on decent food because of the terrible cost of living. This country was supposed to be the envy of every other country becaused we were supposed to have come out of the GFC in great shape but there are austerity measures everywhere and demonising the pensioner and blaming the floods smells mightily like a very big smoke screen. Labor and the greens have greatly miscalculated the feelings of the people on the street and we demand a referendum!! Am I from Tony Abbotts office? I have been a labor voter all my life and am an ex union shop steward!! I voted Howard out of office because he would,t listen on work choices and now I will vote out the Gillard government and for the first time in my life vote Liberal!! Enough is enough! what is it going to take, people over throwing the government by having sreet marches as they are in the eastern countries. An over statement? This may become a serious consideration if Governments dont stop making it impossible for us to live. Lucky country? Your joking!!

No Carbon Tax, let the people vote. This hi-jacked Green Independent government is illegitimate, it was established on a lie. World CO2 is 3% Australia is 1.3% of that figure. This government wants to reduce our emissions by 5% while China is increasing by 500%. What a joke, we can see why this commie government is allowing our waters to become a home to the Chinese Navy. They are Commie through & through.

Thank you Barnaby!! You are a huge ray of Sunshine in this dark time.

This move to introduce a carbon tax and or an E.T.S. is an evil thing and like you I can see no justification for it whatsoever and I want us to have nothing whatsoever to do with the Copenhagen treaty.

Keep up the good work!!

I agree with this petition.

The Carbon tax is another scheme for ripping off more money from the tax payer, to fund more shonky schemes for J.G.

I support the petition. The science of global warming is far from settled. Tackle pollution but in a more sensible form.

thank god there is someone with brains still in a parliament office - I didn`t vote for Her or the homo greens - most of the greens are on the dole or doped out.Gillard has forgotten that a politician is in position FOR THE PEOPLE - BY THE PEOPLE - not just to tell everyone she knows what we want - plus these rat-bags think they are saving the world??? Tell this to Iran,Nth Korea,India,China USA and the rest of the global polluters - not to Australians
