A scam to levy more taxes

Would Dr Heyzer kindly clarify exactly where the planet is warming, how this is causing unusual weather and how the warming is being caused by manmade CO2 emissions. Surely the new taxes can only be legal if these claims are factual.

Britain’s Daily Mail last month quoted the environment minister there as saying that, in the last two decades, world temperatures have only increased by one-third of a degree. Scientists at the Russian Academy of Sciences stated last month that global warming was coming to an end, and that in the coming years the temperature over the entire planet will fall. The process of general temperature decrease has already begun, after peaking in 2005, they said.

Dr Joe Aleo, head of the International Climate and Environment Change Assesment Project, says new data show that in five of the last seven decades, temperatures have cooled while CO2 rose. 

And news followers will have noted that the Bering Sea currently has the most ice ever, the Antarctic the thickest ice ever, Australians have just had their coolest summer in 100 years and their winter highland snow has already arrived, whereas it normally comes in July. And yet the UN is trying to convince a now-awakening public that this cooling means warming.

As regards the weather becoming more severe with warming, during the last warm period in the Middle Ages (when Greenland was green, grapes grew in Scotland and CO2 was much lower than today), no one kept a record of hurricanes. Yet we are told hurricanes will be more frequent. Data show that hurricane activity in the last few years is below average.

There is no scientific consensus on CO2-caused global warming. More than 31,000 scientists have now signed the Petition Project claiming that manmade global warming simply does not exist. 

Dr Heyzer seems sure that paying carbon taxes will cool the planet, stop extreme weather and maybe even stop Thai flooding. Hopefully Thais will wake up to this scaremongering and misinformation, and not allow hard-earned wages to be siphoned off as carbon taxes to the bankers’ accounts.
