Flight taxes hiked to bail out banks: It’s nothing to do with environment, says Darling

Flight taxes are being raised to help bail out the banks, Alistair Darling admitted yesterday.
In an extraordinary intervention, the Chancellor said the higher air passenger duty being introduced tomorrow was needed to plug gaps in the national finances.
He made no attempt to justify the move – which will add £340 to the ticket for a family of four flying long haul – on environmental grounds, the official reason for the tax.
Airlines warned yesterday that the tax would cost thousands of jobs and do nothing to combat global warming.
Addressing journalists in Newcastle, home of the failed bank Northern Rock, Mr Darling said: ‘I am quite blunt about it, we need to raise money to pay for some of the things we have done.

If a family of four exchanged their SUV for four bicycles, they would actually produce more CO2 per mile by cycling than they did when traveling in a modern sports utility vehicle.
Don’t believe AGW is a fraud, know it!

GET REAL!
ALL TAXES ARE BEING RAISED, and new taxes are being created to milk you out of ALL YOUR MONEY!
November 1st, 2009 at 11:00 am
I have an urgent message for you, more important than any message you can hear. God is Holy and cannot accept sin(honor thy mother and father…, thou shall not kill, thou shall not commit adultery, thou shall not steal, thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor, thou shall not covet..etc…Exodus 20:12-17). Here are some verses that show examples of sin:
“Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.” Matthew 5:21-22
“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:27-28
“It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.” Matthew 5:31-32
“For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23. Your good deeds cannot cover up your bad deeds.
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Isaiah 64:6
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” Romans 3:10-12
You could be perfect in all the law and stumble at one point and it is as if you broke all of them:
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:17
God wrote the law on each man’s heart so they are without excuse on judgment day when we will ALL stand before Christ(”Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another” Romans 2:15). The penalty of sin is death and eternal punishment in the LAKE OF FIRE. I am warning you about hell because I love you! You are dead in your sins and headed for hell which is described in the Word as a FIRE THAT QUENCHES NOT(”…the fire is not quenched” Mark 9:44). It is a horrible and terrible place of everlasting torment that people will go because of their sins.
“And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.” Luke 16:22-24
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
But God has provided a way for each to escape the lake of fire. He sent his Son Jesus(God manifest in the flesh-1 Timothy 3:16) who was conceived by a virgin by the Holy Spirit of God,lived a sinless life, and suffered a horrible death/shed blood and rose again 3 days later to take the penalty of YOUR sins so you dont have to pay for them in hell for eternity! He loved you so much which is why he did it! He is the only one to have fufilled the law perfectly(sinless) and paid the price of the entire world’s sins so that man could be saved on the merits of His perfection(see Romans 5:19). All you must do to be saved is BELIEVE in Him(trust in Him to save you as a sinner). You must admit your lost sinful condition to Him/that you’re worthy of hell, and ask Him to save you by placing complete trust in Jesus ALONE for salvation(an example in the Word of someone doing this- “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.” Luke 18:13).It is not even partly by yourselves that you can be saved, but only by the merits of Jesus Christ!
“For God so loved the world, He sent his only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.
“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” 1 John 2:2
“…Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” Revelation 1:5
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:29-31
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:5
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
No works or anything you do can save you! May God open your eyes, that one day I may see you in heaven. Read the Word of God(the 1611 King James version- NOT the modern versions, they are corrupt) before rejecting it! Death is fleeting. You may NOT have tomorrow! For death comes when we least expect it! Make sure you are saved TODAY! The Bible condemns the rich, the wealthy, and those who take advantage of the poor, so it CANNOT have been made up by the elite. Because the Word clearly CONDEMNS people such as those! It declares all mankind as sinners(myself included).
I am a Christian, and love you enough to warn you of the dangers of hell. Beware, the Roman catholic church is NOT Christian! The church CANNOT save you but only Christ! Just because someone says they are a Christian does not necessarily mean they are one(remember the crusades in history? Many were murdered in the name of Christianity. These were no Christians at all by their testimony). Please email me to inquire more. I would be glad to help you out in your search for truth!(my email- livingwaters705@hotmail.com)…To those who slander/mock me, I pray for you and love you anyways and hope you will trust Christ before its too late!
I call upon my fellow Christians on here to return hate posts with love and blessings. The Lord commands us to love them:
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matthew 5:43-45
Salvation is not found in good works, rituals, church, the pope, water baptism, good lives, etc….But ONLY found by faith in Jesus Christ the Savior!
If you need prayer or anything, just let me know! I would be glad to help! I love and care for you, and I have prayed that every person that reads this who do not know the Lord, would one day turn to Christ in faith for salvation for their sins. I beg you to turn to Christ in faith before it is too late! You get ONE chance while living and then it is too late forever:
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Hebrews 9:27
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
“…there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:21-22
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

There is no more that can be done in the states, its like the titanic hit the iceburg and is sinking fast and instead of getting in the lifeboats yall are bitchin at each other, the ship is not coming back up people. margarita island is full of opportunity cheapest cost of living in the world, 4 cent a gallon gas free health care no taxes, no hurricanes, all food is organic by law. for more info check out http://www.escapethestates.com I have plenty of references from people I have moved down here, jump on the underground railraod and find out what it is like to live in a country that has alot more freedom then the united states. Put your money in a different currency and get out with it and dont look back. soon the dollar will be worth nothing, then you are stuck like a turd in the toilet. thanks for listening, if you need help contact me, My wife and I have plenty of knowledge about living here on margarita island we moved here 3 years ago with 3 small children and 3 dogs. We had to get our kids away from the toxic foods and environment. We can help you escape the states no matter what situation you are in, venezuela does not abide with extradition laws to the USA.

england has finally become the worst place to raise your kids
its a hell
big brother is everywhere
people dont seem to care
i have always suspected sport plays a critical role in governments ability to control their people.
seriously consider this
watching humans run around kicking a leather ball has to be akin to watching paint dry
its so not connected to the average mans life
it changes nothing for him
but because this man puts so much focus on it
he is distracted from what really will harm him
and the government needs him to be distracted
why do you think sport has become a new type of religion
it keeps people stupid
to the real issues they need to know about

That was the intention, get the public to watch sport, useless soaps, reality tv. That way ‘the others’ can do exactly what they want, while we are watching that stupid disinformation box in the corner of the room. I do not take any notice of mainstream news anymore, I watch it but it is all a load of lies, pathetic.
And Darling is a thief just like the rest of them…… the taxation has started, even before the signing of the Lisbon Treaty and Copenhagen!!!!! It is all getting completely out of control.
November 1st, 2009 at 9:21 pm
wow its good to see that we arent the only country being run by complete liars. i love how he tried to pitch this like “we are doing this to pay for some stuff we did.” wow, could you be anymore vague? He is lying his ass off and it has everything to do with phony environmentalism. If they came out and said we are raising travel taxes because of made lies of carbon and CO2, they would have a riot on thier hands in Britian. Not that it would really mean anything though, the sham of a government over there disarmed those poor people long ago.

Over many years we have all been lied to by our Governments, but not just our Governments but many religous leaders. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false prophets. If you are a truth seeker please visit the following web site and take the time to read some of the articles, you will be shocked.

Important announcement!
Since the 6th October, as many will be aware, I have been posting links to my book CO2 The Debate Is Not Over, up here on prisonplanet.com. Last week I began posting links on infowars.com and wattsupwiththat.com. I thought you might like to know that in just 4 weeks it has been downloaded by over 20,000 people. So I would like to thank Alex Jones and the Prison Planet and Infowars people for not censoring my posts.
I would like to mention however that I cannot say the same about wattsupwiththat.com as they have censored me again and again. This censorship has come in two forms. They have snipped the link to my book that I always leave at the bottom of my posts and in its place the forum moderator has left the following message: [snip - please no more use of WUWT as self promotion ]. In view of the fact that my book is about exposing AGW fraud by talking about CO2, I consider this as a very strong form of censorship and find it strange coming from a web site apparently dedicated to the subject of exposing AGW fraud.
The other interesting development which preceded the above has been the censoring of a post I tried to upload repeatedly on the subject of Lord Christopher Monckton who as every one will be aware recently gave a speech in the US and also appeared on Glen Beck.
My views on Monckton are based on the fact that although what he says is all factual and very correct as far as I can see, he still refuses to talk about the very subject that could stop this AGW scam dead in its tracks and that of course is the subject of CO2 itself. He often uses the term “greenhouse gasses” and this alone should ring alarm bells for anyone paying attention. There are NO green gasses and there is certainly no greenhouse effect and Monckton of all people knows this. Monckton as every body knows was science advisor to Thatcher when that Government dug up the John Tyndall “greenhouse gas” corpse and brought it back from the dead. Also of note is the fact that on the very page, Monckton on Glen Beck (http://wattsupwiththat.com/200.....nt-216240), that I tried to post my views about him, Monckton himself has left a very telling post of his own under the very Lordly forum handle of Monckton of Brenchley, in which he firstly thanks his good friend Anthony Watt for posting up the video clips and then continues his post with a clear example of the exact kind of misleading disinformation that I have accused him of in my censored post. He continues on and I quote:
Once again, very warmest thanks to my good friend Anthony Watts for posting up the video-clips of the entire Glenn Beck show so very quickly, and to the many kind commentators who enjoyed the show.
In response to the enquirer who wanted the economic math from the Lord-Board in segment D, here it is:
Global CO2 emissions at present are 30 billion tons/year (EIA), causing atmospheric concentration to rise by 2 ppmv/year (NOAA). So 15 billion tons emitted will increase atmospheric concentration by 1 ppmv/year. The UN (IPCC, 2007; see also BERN climate model), on scenario A2, which comes closest to the pattern of actual emissions today, says its central estimate of CO2 concentration in 2100 will be 836 ppmv. So the UN thinks we’ll add (836-368) = 468 ppmv to the atmosphere during the 21st century. Multiply that by 15 billion tons/ppmv and the UN is implicitly projecting that, in the absence of any mitigation, the world will emit (468 x 15 bn) = 7 trillion tons CO2 this century. It also projects (IPCC, 2007) that this extra CO2 will raise global temperature by around 7° F. So we need to forego 1 trillion tons of CO2 emission per 1° F warming forestalled. Divide 1 trillion by 30 billion (which Beck and Bolton had more than a little difficulty with), and one concludes that we’d have to close down the entire world carbon economy for 33 years just to forestall a single Fahrenheit degree of warming. Since the UN has exaggerated the warming effect of CO2 sixfold (Lindzen & Choi, 2009), make that 200 years. Therefore, there’s no point in mitigation because the cost is extravagantly disproportionate to the benefit. – Monckton of Brenchley
To any one not paying attention what he is doing here is playing loose with the facts. He leaves the reader with the impression that 30 billion tons of CO2 is the global HUMAN output and fails to make clear that HUMANS only produce around 6-8 billion tons per year. Or that this figure of 30 billion tonnes of CO2 is pretty much entirely caused by natural emission. Also his assertions of year on year CO2 increases are completely invalid as they do not factor in any of the natural CO2 sinks which exist in nature. Without these sinks being included into the equation it is pointless and even deceptive to talk about CO2 levels.
The point is that the figure of 30 billion tons no matter which percentage is natural and which human derived, is actually just CO2 being recycled from within the system. Therefore the amount of CO2 in the Earth system is never going exceed a level that it hasn’t already reached in the past. No new CO2 is being added from an external source. Even I know this and I have never been science adviser to the British Government and am never likely to be. Yet Monckton has been so what is his excuse.
Following is the censored post that WUWT will not allow.
Quick analysis of Monckton, can he be trusted?:
0 K being absolute zero,
Oxygen is ice below 54.36 K
Nitrogen is ice below 63.15 K
CO2 is ice below 194.65 K
Which of these three gasses is the LEAST POWERFUL absorber of heat?
Answer: CO2 by a long way. N and O are both four times more powerful at absorbing heat than CO2.
Oxygen and Nitrogen together make up 99% of the atmosphere.
CO2 makes up only 0.03811%.
How much will CO2 influence atmospheric temperature compared to Oxygen and Nitrogen combined?
Answer: Compared with N and O the influence of CO2 on atmospheric temperatures at these levels is totally insignificant. In other words CO2 has no baring on atmospheric temperature worth talking about.
Do you think Monckton is ignorant of these facts?
Answer: Of course not.
Monckton has danced a merry dance around these simple truths which if he had addressed from the start, would have sunk this AGW fraud many years ago. Considering he was science adviser to Thatcher around the time she brought this John Tyndall “greenhouse effect” corpse back from the dead, I think it is fair to say that he should be taking credit for something. But not for exposing the AGW fraud.
Conclusion: Monckton is a New World Order Gatekeeper, and therefore cannot be trusted.
Remember CO2 is a trace gas at 0.03811% of the atmosphere. The total human contribution to this trace in the atmosphere is 1% of 0.03811% or around 4 ppmv of 385+ ppmv. Looking at these figures the one thing that becomes glaringly obvious is that not only is our tiny contribution to this tiny trace gas never going to effect temperature but neither is this tiny trace gas CO2 itself ever going to be able to effect global temperature.
So my point is simply, why doesn’t Monckton use these figures as I have done, to put AGW fraud back in the same hole from which he himself dug it up and re-animated it in the first place?
The final question I have about Monckton and Anthony Watt for that mater is this. Are we to believe that the former science adviser to the Thatcher Government would not be fully conversant with the science of mass mind control?
Think about that one for a moment.
So again I say Monckton must not be trusted. He offers only scare stories and no solutions.
Don’t believe AGW is a fraud, Know it!
