Australia Rejects Carbon Cap and Tax!

Looks like the world is waking up to the Global Warming Hoax, and is pretty much rejecting the flawed science behind the hoopla. “Australia’s parliament rejected laws to set up a sweeping carbon emissions trade scheme on Wednesday. This essentially shoves the key policy of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd into the crapper. It may also signal an early election in Australia”

With the media essentially poo-pooing the same old tired story, and pushing for thier agenda, it will be interesting to watch how the hoax plays on the cap and tax legislation being pushed all over the world.   It will also be interesting to see how this plays out in what is quickly becomming Nope-en-hagen.  Watch the news feeds in the next 24-48 hours and we’ll see how it gets covered.

Reuters  reported moments ago.

The defeat by parliament’s upper house Senate ends Rudd’s hopes of taking his legislated climate commitments to next week’s global talks in Copenhagen, where world leaders will discuss new targets to curb greenhouse gas emissions. [...]

The Senate rejection throws the future of carbon trading into confusion, creating new uncertainty for business which had sought certainty from the political debate. [...]

The scheme would have been the biggest outside Europe, covering 75 percent of Australian emissions and starting in July 2011. It would have effectively forced polluters to pay for their emissions, requiring them to purchase emission permits from a carbon market. [...]

“Obviously this does make Copenhagen harder if we don’t get this scheme up,” [Climate Change Minister Penny] Wong said.
