Dear all, The following thoroughly referenced letter about Australian
Government lies and censorship in the face of the worsening climate
emergency has been sent to Australian Mainstream media, MPs and climate
activists. Yours sincerely, Gideon Polya
Dear Sir/Madam/Dr/Senator/Ms/Mrs/Mr etc,
Public debate over the Australian Labor Government's carbon
pollution-increasing, oxymoronic, Orwellian Carbon Pollution Reduction
Scheme (CPRS) is largely confined to whether this fraudulent, pro-coal,
pro-pollution, pro-polluter Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) should be further
weakened in favour of the major greenhouse gas (GHG) polluters, namely the
fossil fuel-based industries and agriculture (livestock is responsible for
over 50% of GHG pollution). [1].
Just as the Lib-Lab politicians ignore the top scientists calling for urgent
reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration from the current
390 parts per million (ppm) to 300-350 ppm, so they ignore top climate
scientists and top climate economists who call for a revenue-neutral Carbon
Tax and slam the demonstrated ineffectiveness, dishonesties and dangers of a
carbon trading-based ETS approach. [2, 3].
This societal failure is compounded by Government untruth and censorship.
Thus the Government repeatedly and falsely claims that Liquid Natural Gas
(LNG) is "clean energy" and the Government CSIRO has blocked publication
in a UK economics journal of a peer-reviewed anti-ETS paper by a top
Australian ecological economist, Dr Clive Spash. [4, 5].
When summer temperatures exceed 50 degrees Centigrade the polluters,
Lib-Labs and Lib-Lab lackeys will be held legally responsible for
sociopathic, anti-science perversion of rational risk management. [6].
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya, Macleod, Victoria 3085, Australia
