Business to back carbon trading
Matthew Franklin
The Australian
Saturday, July 5, 2008
BIG business will today pledge full support for an emissions trading scheme but it will warn Kevin Rudd against granting exemptions from the scheme for crude political reasons.
The Business Council of Australia will also warn its members against overstating the negative effects of the policy at the risk of alienating the Government, and urge the community to accept that fuel and power prices are too low and must increase.
BCA president Greg Gailey will use a speech in Sydney to outline his organisation’s approach on climate change on the eve of the release of a report on emissions trading by the Prime Minister’s hand-picked adviser on the issue, economist Ross Garnaut.
(Article continues below)
According to a copy of Mr Gailey’s speech, obtained by The Australian yesterday, the BCA is “wholly supportive” of the move to put a price on carbon emissions but wants the scheme to be carefully designed to ensure emissions-heavy businesses will be supported against overseas competitors from nations without emissions trading schemes.
“Given the complexity of many of these issues, it seems likely that some will be put in the too-hard basket or that the simplest solutions will be sought,” Mr Gailey says.
“But simplicity at the expense of effectiveness increases the likelihood that we will get the policy wrong at tremendous cost to households, businesses, the economy and environment.”

Of course big business will back carbon trading. One reason for doing this is that it won’t really hurt them, because costs will be passed onto the consumer anyways. Just like big business here went along with social security withholding and income tax withholding, costs are passed onto consumers. In the case of forced withholding for social security and income tax, THERE IS NO LAW REQUIRING, merely corporate policy. Big corporations always go along to get along. They are in business to make money, they like good little slaves, they are not in the business of standing up for liberty.
But there is another reason why business will go along with carbon trading, and that is the real reason behind carbon trading/man made global warming dogma … the current, planet-wide system of monetized debt is failing. The short term solution is to create more liquidity by lending more bank credit into existence, but that will exacerbate problems by creating a demand for even more credit to service existing debt. The medium term solution is to do away with national currencies and combine currencies into regional currencies, such as the Euro, and the Amero which is being talked about, to combine the dollar, peso, and Canadian dollar into a single currency. But they, too, will be based upon monetized debt and must also fail at some point. So will a one world currency fail as well.
ENTER THE CARBON CREDIT! By monetizing the carbon credit, which will be a license to put so many units of carbon into the atmosphere, a new form of money is created. The great thing about this (for the elite) is to control virtually all human activity, to the point of converting your right to breathe into a licensed, privileged activity. I’m sure that they will be happy to give you a waiver, provided, of course, that you take that tiny little chip in your right hand and pledge your faithful worship to Gaia, the spirit of Mother Earth, and place her above all other dieties.

Pete, thanks for your very well argued case, re the rationale behind the imposition of this totally fictitious “climate change” dogma.
It is my belief that the demise of the previous government was orchestrated by the Bilderberg Group, who induced former Prime Minister John Howard to hand down his “Work Choices” industrial relations policy. It was that reason more than all others combined that brought about the catastrophic election result last November.
Then, enter Stage Left, a socialist government that will oversee the complete sell-out of Australia to the United Nations. And since the great majority have either bought into The Lie, or are, at least, thus far, too apathetic to care. By the time they emetge from their comatose state, it will be way, way too late.

A few days back I came across this article below.
http://www.climateaction.org.au/node/77
excerpts from above article:
Carbon tax, Emissions trading, what’s it all about?
What are the features of a dodgy emission trading scheme, such as we might expect the captains of industry to propose?
It will have:
Emission offset credits granted for changes to industrial processes, claiming that “the old way would have produced XX tones of CO2, our new way will produce Xx tonnes less therefore we should get an offset credit.”
Handing out of emissions permits free, to cover historical levels of pollution, supported by arguments that to charge for permits would disadvantage investors or companies. This gives a disincentive to make reductions before the the day that the scheme comes in. An “early mover disadvantage”.
Sweetheart deals for industries with strong lobby groups to protect them from increases in the cost of electricity. Such industries will be labeled “energy intensive and trade exposed” so as to not be directly called “aluminium”. Such industries will threaten to pollute the atmosphere from elsewhere in the world if Australia does not give them free license to continue environmentally destructive practices.
My comment: OK, so does this mean that business will get it’s credits for free, able to sell and pocket any profits? Does it also mean that business has made a sweetheart deal with Australia’s ruling government? Must have if they are now backing the governments decision.
Does this also mean, that the people of Australia, will bare the COMPLETE costs for this global warming scam from the top to the very bottom????? These people are creeps, the lot.

Carbon taxes and carbon offset credits will become its own market system in a way. It’s own stock market, or currency. Which is very spooky, IMO.
Not only will people without businesses or so called green technology not be able to make such profits, but the whole scam would be uses to pacify and immobilize the poorer peoples of the earth, all for the “good” of the earth. It is like carbon green will become the new commodity of the first global republic.

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), which has been signed on by the top Fortune 500 companies and pretty much all environmental groups has the innate ability to become its own market which is expressly controlled by the various corporations and investors that get on board before laws are passed to legislate “global warming laws”.
Al Gore’s Generational Investment Management (GIM) is JUST one of these carbon- advisory organizations, deeply connected to the leadership at Chicago Climate Exchange and bought off enviro-nazis (intelligence-fronts), that stands to make millions upon implementation of Global Warming laws..
The people on board to this market are in it to corner the new market of carbon trading. Literally buying and selling what we exhale and what plants breathe.
With these type of corporations on board, we can only expect this to balloon to such an extent that we could have literally 100’s of Enron’s fraudulently trading carbon to create an artificial scarcity, jacking up prices and instilling more fear of the deadly poison, carbon dioxide and to cause Westerners to impose more artificial limits on there activity. Don’t forget the extreme, austere, economic sacrifices we will be forced to make for the betterment of WallStreet and these multi-nationals which control the process.
BTW..Enron and BP were the first two corporations to assist Clinton/Gore in establishing bodies (Like the President’s Council for Sustainable Development) that would handle implementation of the Kyoto Protocols (thank god were never ratified)..setup BEFORE discussion of the protocols ever began.
Remember, everytime you see “president’s council” or “council for development” it is a code-word for neo-feudal roundtable groups of the most powerful entities of the world (corps/governments/NGO’s) deciding how to future will be legislated and controlled.
Again, Club of Rome’s “Resolutiques” come into view. Planned societies by the skilled, the “technocracy”.
These organizations exist on the local, national and international level. Perhaps the most influential is the “World Business Council for Sustainable Development”. This organization is chaired by what many would consider to be the greatest environmental offenders (if we were measuring by the lefty yardstick), the top corporations of the planet, which meet together and to influence lobbying efforts and policy decisions (using billions of dollars, controlled media and bought of environmental groups who ALL get there money from these companies) that all has to do with shutting off access to resources and production.
The argument has been made that many of these corporations are unknowing dupes in this scheme for a “post-industrial” society, seeing as it will severely limit their own production, however with many of these companies possessing the next-wave of technologies to be exploited, it seems likely that many of the corporations are quite aware of “Post-industrial” implications and are more that happy to capitulate.
Check out the names of the members of World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Dow, Shell, BP, Chevon, Alcoa, 3M, AIG, Boeing, GE, GM, DuPont, Ford, Conoco, Proctor and Gamble, S.c Johnson, Coca-Cola, Time Warner AND MANY MANY MORE.
THEY ARE JUST LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST…LOVE THEM.

Global Warming is a hoax presented by ruthless opportunists like Al Gore who seek to make a lot of money from carbon credit brokerage and promoting nuclear energy as an ‘alternative’ energy source. World CO2 levels naturally rise and fall with global temperatures as part of the Ice Age cycle. In fact, world CO2 levels actually follow behind world temperatures, and therefore rising CO2 DOES NOT cause rising temperatures. 325 thousand years ago, CO2 levels were higher than they are today, and polar bears DID NOT go extinct then because of CO2 or temperature; why should they now?
