According to Malcolm Turnbull most Australians believe in Global Warming and support an ETS?
How true is that?
i will do my own poll,so do you believe in Global Warming?
and would you support a emissions trading scheme?(E.T.S.)$2,000 per household?
Well gees i posted it in the Australian section under Climate Change and an ETS is an emissions trading scheme,
Malcolm Turnbull is supporting an ETS for reasons that he knows best.
I can tell you here and now that most Australians DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT support another tax. We have had the GST imposed on us this decade. We do not need another flat tax. Flat taxes like the GST and the ETS are highly inequitable. They punish the least well to do - that is the working poor and those totally dependant on social security or self - funded retirees.
There is no point in saying that you will give support to these groups until the effects of the tax kick in and everything levels out. These groups are permanently worse off.
There are already over 400,000 people homeless in Queensland alone. This is due to the impact of the economic downturn. If people are made further worse off and they loose the roof from over their heads we could have up to a million Australians homeless. This is not an exaggeration.
The cost of electricity has doubled for people in New South Wales in the past six months. This has resulted in a lot of low income families having to go to the Salvation Army, Anglicare or St Vincent de Paul and Baptist and Uniting Church charities for the first time and ask for vouchers to help pay their electricity bill.
If Malcolm and Kevin Rudd add another tax to the cost of electricity and the cost of living in general many low wage earners and the people of social security will not be able to pay their way. Governments should be looking at expanding the use of clean technology. Even people who do not believe in climate change can see the virtue of using clean technology to reduce the amount of pollution in the environment.
No not all Australian believe in Global Warming. No not all Australian believe in the ETS even if they do recognise global warming as fact. A tax will not stop industrialist polluting. Some of them have only two options - pollute or go out of business in Australia. They will go off shore. They will simply trade the right to pollute and pass the cost on to consumers if they stay onshore. They will not reduce the amount of pollution. Pollution reduction is the key to reduced global warming.
I would support placing solar panels on the roof of each domestic residence in Australia. That would help cover the consumption of domestic power. I would support each household having at least one rainwater tank. That would reduce the amount of water that they waste. I would also support recycling of grey water.
I would support the further development of solar power companies and wind power companies in Australia. I would support the development of "Hot Rocks" technology or subterranean steam technology especially in southern Australia to generate electricity.

This shoud be used instead of the use of Brown Coal which is very dirty. Neither of the major political parties has done this.
I would also support the development of a much larger ethanol industry in Australia.

I would support the development of a little known device invented by a Ballina company that is installed into heavy vehicles - B doubles, B triples, semi - trailers and delivery vehicles that captures the fumes before they are expelled into the atmosphere and reuses them to drive the vehicle - the company is Permodrive http://www.echonews.com/729/index.html
I also support the reduction in unnecessary land clearing and an increase in reafforestation. There should be a rapid increase in reafforestation in Tasmania in particular where the wildlife - the Tasmanian Devil is suffering from the rapid destruction of the forests in that state. No one in Tasmania or anywhere else in Australia gave permission for the whole sale destrucion of the Forests in that state. It has been recognised for over 50 years that global warming is largely due to the destruction of forests.
This is my contribution to answering your question about Malcolm Trunbull and ETS. I hope that it goes some way to solving your curiosity about peoples’ opinions on the matter. Not all people support a tax however. The Liberal Party needs to find a strong alternative policy to the governments’ policy rather than just agreeing with them to a large extent. Offering the electorate strong options while keeping the government in check in the role of a strong opposition.
A $2,000.000 ETS tax per household is not the answer to climate change. Australians do not want or need this.
Cheers!!!
Well Tony Abbott’s got the leadership now so the ETS will probably go to a Senate Committee until February. After that there may be a climate/environment policy in place for the coalition. After that there may be a double dissolution election. It will be all very interesting to see but none of it will reduce the amount of pollution in the environment. We need to using the right technology. Less carbon energy - more renewable energy.

Most people here are not Australians.
People who post on internet message boards are not a representative sample of the population

IT"S ALL A BIG CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well unfortunately it’s not because if it was then we’d be able to pump more gas and still see absolutely no consequences for it. I believe that Global Warming is happening but that Malcolm Turnbull is not right. This is because a lot of people only think about themselves. this is a natural reaction, as is conservatism. We must start looking towards the future and what our children and grand-children will have to put up with and what they will have to tell the next generations beyond that about how we failed our duty to the earth and all the creatures that live on it.
oh and just for your information i agree with the ETS but only because I know that it is better to take some action than none at all. I think that we should be putting more money into renewable resources as there is bound to be some excess revenue from the scheme, adn this should go towards making Geo-thermal energy the main energy source in Australia.
1 more thing, The ETS will most likely pass the senate because Joe Hockey will be announced leader and will ask for a free vote, and labor will get the amount of liberals they need to pass it.

I don’t believe humans are having any significant effect on global warming. I don’t think the majority of Australians believe that either.
Middle Australia pays heaps of tax so the poor can live in a welfare state and those with the means can dodge it with negative gearing. We don’t need another $2000 per annum in tax.
