Australia's had about enough of the U.N.'s man-made global warming crap, so they're getting rid of their "carbon" taxes and cutting millions of dolars in "renewable energy" programs. Environmeddlists are, unsurprisingly, yowling.
But others are applauding, like Canadians:
While Australia’s actions to roll back the green agenda have environmentalists kicking and screaming, the country received praise from Canada’s ruling party — that country rejected a carbon tax in 2008.
“The Australian Prime Minister’s decision will be noticed around the world and sends an important message,” said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Parliamentary Secretary Paul Calandra. “Our government knows that carbon taxes raise the price of everything, including gas, groceries, and electricity.”
“Greenhouse gas emissions are down since 2006, and we’ve created one million net new jobs since the recession and we have done this without penalizing Canadian families with a carbon tax,” Calandra added.
And in Japan, with all 50 nuke plants shuttered since the Fukishima disaster, they've decided to blow off "greenhouse gas" caps, as well - a move that has more environmeddlists foaming at the mouth and spluttering. Apparently, with that many plants offline, Japan's just supposed to suck it up.
Even over here, the EPA's taken the unprecedented step of cutting back on biofool requirements, which has corn farmers hopping mad.
Germany's also facing the ire of environmeddlists, as they've just opened the first of ten new coal-fired power plants. Let the bedwetting commence in earnest!
AlGore better be on statins, 'cause otherwise, he's sure to have a heart attack.
