What change
And it came to pass that the anticipatedsavior failed to be elected and his gore was in anger.
So he set forth to bring an newtestament to the people and low he was taken by the green disciplesas his own. For his teaching reached far and wide saying, behold Ibring you news of great warming for the planet.
And all were sore afraid for he was theprophet of the new testament.
But then came forth a new disciple whocried to all, behold there is a new and everlasting hope for you all,I bring you climate change, and behold the green disciples grew innumber saying this man is the true savior. For he hath spoken involumes that we must go forth with the new teaching and reach to allthe people of the earth. And he was much pleased and praised thosewho did follow the climate change testament.
Two days ago there was on talk backradio here in Melbourne an American scientific engineer here to givea number of lectures. What he spoke about was alarming but puts theargument of Climate Change into some perspective.
As he said, this is not about theclimate as we consider it to be. The tropics are still tropical, thetemperate zones still temperate and though there may be a change inweather patterns the climate is still the same.
The climate the world leaders speak ofis the Economic Climate, and it is as follows.
The world wide plan is to increaseprofits for the major companies while at the same time increasing taxrevenue for governments from this profit. By moving to renewableenergy such as Solar and Wind Turbines there will be a dramatic dropin the number of employees required to operate, power stations, coalmines, oil rigs etc. Reduced manpower costs increases profits, and sotax revenue. In a similar manner electric cars will also require farless manpower in the production chain.
This will bring on major unemploymenteven though governments will say the 'new economy' will take up theunemployed. Most of the new employment will come in areas such asaged care and the medical profession,m but not all are suited tosuch.
Here in Oz the motor manufacturingindustry is now closed, thousands now out of work with littlelikelyhood of finding some other form of employment.
I find much truth in what the engineerhad to say, one only has to look at the Solar industry to see thatonce in place it requires very few personel to maintian it.
It will not be for this generation toworry, but where will your grand children and great grand childrenfind employment?
Will this bring about a situation wherethe people rise up enough for war to break out?
In 1980 the population of the planetwas 4 billion, it is now 8 billion. What will it be in another 37years?

Re: What change
Part of a readers letter in today's paper..Global warming was altered to the non specific "Climate Change" so any weather event could be related to CO2. Its the scam of all scams. There are politicians who know it but won't dare say it. The amount of money being directed at the climate cabal is beyond comprehension. Meanwhile, businesses go broke and the poor live without electricity. JWS

Re: What change
As regards the greens, for those not aware there are now two Australian senators in parliament falsely as have citizenship of other countries. How can so called learned people be unaware that they have broken the law and plead ignorance.?. I think as well as a CV that every would be politician should have to submit to the public, they should also undergo a mental test to see if they have any IQ at all. Believe the latest one is she who started the mode of taking her baby to work and breast feeding her during parliament time. Whilst I admire her for economy, I am not wanting to be a spectator of such, however are we allowed to say so, if you owned a shop would you allow the counter girl going around serving customers with a baby hanging on her teat. It is her human right some will say, so is not shopping at that venue. What happened to modesty , got thrown out with the dirty waiter no doubt. JWS

Re: What change
Hi John.
She got her tit uppance.
Consider this, every house and factory in Aus has solar panels on their roof, they no longer need or pay for power, the companies who bought the power poles and lines and power stations would go broke, okay many people running the power stations would lose their jobs, they could take up cleaning solar panels, problem solved.

Re: What change
John, she was told to leave the chamber under the rule that strangers are not allowed in. Had a similar incident here in Melbourne some years ago.
Obviously those two idiots never looked at their birth certificates and for a passport you must put your town of birth down.
But where were the bigger idiots in the administration part of the Greens.
where were the biggest idiots of all the electoral commission on this one?

Re: What change
#1... Just come across sayings by certain personalities on the world stage at various times and will quote Al Gore when he was Vice President, before he took up the cudgels of climate change when failed to become President. "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment, it's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it". Al Gore Vice President. People make mock of Trump and yet hang on to every word of Al Gore. Makes one think of the knowledge of this idol worshipping. Vice Chump should be the title. JWS.

Re: What change
If you bang the drum hard enough and long enough the people will go deaf and take all yoy say as gospel.
Gore did just that and look at the result.
