REMEMBER RUDD FOR HIS BETRAYAL OF AUST - DESPITE OUR OWN MINI ICE STORM IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER
December 17th 2008 06:19
Remember Rudd for his betrayal of climate change science (you won't remember Garrett at all) and make him sweat. With the five percent he has just alerted us, who are doing everything (conserving water, cutting winter fires, riding instead of driving, never eating red meat etc.) that climate change science is just bullshit.
I know I'm not slipping away from the responsibility of cutting back on carbon in the style that he has. But now there are many who were gearing themselves for changes who will not make the effort. The mentality of Australian bureaucrats has descended on the government and they're frightened of the response of those who brought us to planet endangerment and, with their irresponsible greed, to the end of the economy as we know it.
Our business schools have to wear part of the blame. They created uncaring and unquestioning MBAs and flooded our corporations with their rampant greed and ultra trickery. How could a child in their right mind deal in the way their parents have with Credit Default Swaps? Let's bet that your bad debts are better than mine and, anyway, if they come to nothing at least we can put them on the books as assets until we try and get the money from the poor bastards who were suckered into taking mortgages way beyond their means. And, listed as assets, no matter how fragile, they will confuse shareholders, other loan companies and those we owe money to. Now how much money is thought to be involved in CDSs? Are yes, $60 trillion.
And when the economy is back raging again we can turn our attention to climate science so we can make money again.
There is one image I'd like RFudd and the rest of these bastards to remember. Last year in Amherst, in the Central Gold Fields of Victoria, in drought, and at the height of a summer day a dam was iced over in thirty minutes. It was a freak storm of golf ball sized hail, a quick melt and a quick freeze again after nearly 40 MM of rain. A kilometre away they had 15 mm of rain. Never in Australia has a dam been iced over in summer, let alone during drought conditions. But the scientist warned us of these isolated and devastating storms: they're part of climate change. A mini ice storm in the style of the larger ones in the north eat of the US at the moment. At least it's winter there.
