More absurdity

That superannuated and self confident ex PM of Australia, John Howard, has been lecturing the British, straight out of the Merchants of Doubt handbook.  It seems yhat even though he went to the 2007 election with a carbon trading scheme this was because of pressure from the electorate and no because he believed in it.  Now he can reveal that Tonee Abbot won the last election in part because of his fervent denial of global warming.  Let's hope that those two rats are the first to drown when the seas rise.

To add to the irritation I saw Smokin' Joe Hockey on 7:30 report last night looking confident and friendly as he insisted that with repeal of the carbon pricing mechanism there would be an instant 9% drop in electricity prices.  If that were to happen it might point to a massive conspiracy between electricity generator/distributors and the then opposition.  The electricity crowd meanwhile came out publicly and said it was more complicated then the repeal issue and it would take some time o flow through.

Minister for telling lies and the Environment the awful and light weight Greg Hunt appears on tv every night seeming reasonable and unburdened by the facts about anything and smiles into camera and reassures us that the green lobby "lies" are jut that, so don't you worry your pretty little head about it.
