"Now, lets do some simple Maths!"
Here are some facts that will show how ridiculous is this proposed financial madness being promoted by the present Government.
The calculations are simple; you don’t have to be mathematical genius to see for yourself.
According to the believers in "anthropogenic global warming‟, CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from 0.034% to 0.038% of air over the last 50 years, an "alarming‟ increase of 0.004%.
To give you a clear idea of what this means, consider the following:
Suppose you have a room measuring 3.7 metres x 3.7 metres x 2.1 metres (or 12 feet x 12 feet x 7 feet) then the volume that CO2 would occupy in that room would be a mere 0.25metres x 0.25metres x 0.17metres - approximately the size of a large packet of breakfast cereal.
Australia emits about 1% of the World's total CO2, and the Government wants to reduce this by 20% (i.e., 0.2% of the world's total CO2 emissions).
So what effect will this have on existing CO2 levels?
That increase in CO2 over 50 years amounts to 0.00008% per year (i.e., 0.004% ÷50). And of that Australia contributes only 1%.
Thus, our emissions would have caused CO2 to rise .00008 divided by 100 = 0.0000008%.
Of that 1% we supposedly emit, the Government wants to reduce this by 20%, which is 1/5th of 0.0000008%. The result is a ‘massive’ 0.00000016% effect per year on the World’s CO2 emissions.
Looking now at the area in our ‘room’, this equates to a volume in that room the size of a small pin!
To achieve this pin-sized reduction the Government has gone crazy in proposing a ridiculous trading scheme, inefficient „wind-farms‟, widespread and expensive solar and roofing installations, the failed "clean coal‟ technology, futile renewable energy targets, etc, etc.
