Not long ago, Europe decided to cool the globe by introducing carbon taxes and rationing.
They have succeeded beyond their greenest dreams. Already their tax on carbon dioxide has frozen the Danube and destroyed crops in Ukraine. The severe cold has killed over 500 people and produced snow in the Sahara and ice on the canals of Venice.
All this from a carbon tax of just $8 per tonne.
Imagine what the Gillard/Brown tax of $23 per tonne will do in Australia.
Should we prepare for a white Christmas in Brisbane, ice skating on the Yarra, penguins on the Lower Lakes, cardigans in Marble Bar and Hobart threatened by the Derwent Glacier?
