Carbon Tax - This is how it works

[ufo_investigations]

This is how it works

From midnight when you're in bed, your heating system is slugging you with a carbon tax.

When you get out of bed and turn on the light, you will be slugged the carbon tax.

When you shuffle into the shower, your gas hot water will be slugged by the carbon tax.

When you get out of the shower and dry your hair with the hair dryer, you will be slugged with the carbon tax.

When you turn on the kettle for a cup of coffee, you will be hit by the carbon tax.

If you like a sugar with your coffee, that's bad luck, Mackay Sugar is a big polluter.

If you have milk with your coffee, bad luck again, dairy companies are listed as big polluters.

And when you take the milk out of the refrigerator - you pay twice, for the electricity and the refrigerant.

If you enjoy a bit of Vegemite on your toast, that's bad luck again, Kraft is a big polluter.

When you cook the toast in the toaster, you pay the carbon tax on the electricity.

If you decide instead to have cereal, remember you are paying carbon tax on the milk and the electricity to heat up the milk in the microwave.

So when you've finished breakfast what's next? If you are planning to spend Sunday cleaning up the backyard and taking a load of rubbish to the tip, then once more you will be digging into your pocket to pay increased dump fees due to the carbon tax.

A trip to a shopping centre will also cost you. The major retailers have included a carbon tax clause into their leasing contracts so the cost is passed through. The shoe store, the hairdresser or the cafe will be paying more and so will you. The alternative is that they will have to cut costs elsewhere and that will mean staff.

Fed up by all of this and want to escape on a holiday? Well you will also pay on your airline ticket with Qantas estimating the cost of the carbon tax will be over $100 million. And forget taking to the water rather than the sky, the Spirit of Tasmania has also added a carbon tax levy to its tickets.

In the same way Julia Gillard said "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead", she has also claimed it is just the big polluters who will pay. The first statement we now know was dishonest, and the second has repeated that behaviour. Every Australian will pay the carbon tax every day. And that is why the bill adds up to $36 billion over four years.

WHAT A RIP OFF!

[freakiness]

Greg Hunt has zero credibility re the carbon tax.

So many of the businesses listed had access to energy saving initiative funding to reduce their energy costs. 

What was it Tony Abbott suggested? A simple tax on carbon was the way to go when the discussions were around an emissions trading scheme.

Actually, THIS is how it works

From midnight when you're in bed, your heating system is burning energy that is damaging the environment.

When you get out of bed and turn on the light, you are damaging the environment..

When you shuffle into the shower, your gas hot water will be  burning energy that is damaging the environment

When you get out of the shower and dry your hair with the hair dryer, yyou are damaging the environment.

When you turn on the kettle for a cup of coffee, you are damaging the environment.

If you like a sugar with your coffee, that's bad luck, Mackay Sugar is a big polluter. And without the CT they can continue to do so.

If you have milk with your coffee, bad luck again, And without the CT they can continue to do so.

And when you take the milk out of the refrigerator - you damage twice, for the electricity and the refrigerant. Cause both burn up energy that damages the environment.

If you enjoy a bit of Vegemite on your toast, that's bad luck again, Kraft is a big polluter.And without the CT they can continue to do so.

When you cook the toast in the toaster, you are damaging the environment.

If you decide instead to have cereal, remember you are damaging the environment with the electricity to heat up the milk in the microwave.

So when you've finished breakfast what's next? If you are planning to spend Sunday cleaning up the backyard and taking a load of rubbish to the tip, then once more you will be digging into your pocket to pay increased dump fees due to the carbon tax. Hopefully this will make you think twice about your consumption habits.

A trip to a shopping centre will also cost you. The major retailers have included a carbon tax clause into their leasing contracts so the cost is passed through. The shoe store, the hairdresser or the cafe will be paying more and so will you. The alternative is that they will have to cut costs elsewhere and that will mean staff. At least this is what the Liberal Party would like to believe even though it is untrue.

Fed up by all of this and want to escape on a holiday? Well you will also pay on your airline ticket with Qantas estimating the cost of the carbon tax will be over $100 million because plane travel is one of the worlds biggest polluters. And forget taking to the water rather than the sky, the Spirit of Tasmania has also added a carbon tax levy to its tickets in order to balance out the damage each trip makes to our waters.

In the same way Julia Gillard said "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead", she has also claimed it is just the big polluters who will pay. The first statement we now know was shortsighted, and the second is absolutely needs to occur to help our planet get through this environmental crisis. Every Australian will pay a miniscule amount in carbon tax every day. And that is why the bill adds up to $36 billion over four years - an essential tax to ensure that businesses change their current, unsustainable practices for the good of the planet.

Yep no carbon tax on mars. Carbon tax is a big rort if you ask me.

Makes no sense!

[monman12]

If you myopics can look past the petty politics you would realise that Australia's contribution to CO2 concentration /climate change  would not be noticed on a global scale if it was doubled or ceased completely.

UFOI,  this is a poor example:

"Yep no carbon tax on mars. Carbon tax is a big rort if you ask me."

Mars atmosphere contains  95% carbon dioxide, perhaps a C tax might have helped reduce that figure!!

That is not true.

If you do the calculation you will work it out.

[monman12]

Exactly what does amide hydrolysis under acidic conditions have to do with the characteristics of the Martian atmosphere UFO?
The calculation (explanation) :-

The oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the amide has a reasonable amount of negative character. Both the p bond and the s bond of the carbonyl are distorted due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen. The p bond also has a resonance dipole, which gives the oxygen atom a negative charge. This makes the carbonyl subject to attack by an acid.

"Mars atmosphere contains  95% carbon dioxide, perhaps a C tax might have helped reduce that figure!!"

UFO: "That is not true."

Something relevant.......: Mars Atmosphere:

Why we need a carbon tax, by the Coalition's environment spokesman

In 1990 Greg Hunt co-authored a university thesis entitled A Tax to Make the Polluter Pay.

His conclusion:

"Ultimately it is by harnessing the natural economic forces which drive society that the pollution tax offers us an opportunity to exert greater control over our environment."
