Protests against and effects of AGW / the Carbon credit scam

[Derek]

Having watched the video regarding the Brazilian forests and the Carbon trading schemes,

is it also worth noting this present protest, with maybe a sticky thread of other similar protests / events happening around the world because of the AGW / Carbon credits scam.

I think this explanation of what has happened in Australia and why links together what we already mostly know,
namely the connection between AGW and Govt's regardless of how it effects the people.

It seems "Big Coal" is taking the American Government to court over cap and trade.
This could be the legal turning point.

World's biggest coal company
brings U.S. government to court in climate fraud

Excerpt,
" The world's largest private sector coal business, the Peabody Energy Company (PEC)
has filed a mammoth 240-page "Petition for Reconsideration,"
a full-blown legal challenge against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The petition must be answered and covers the entire body of leaked emails from 'Climategate'
as well as those other 'gate' revelations including the frauds allegedly perpetrated
under such sub-headings as 'Himalayan Glaciers,' 'African Agricultural Production,'
'Amazon Rain Forests,' 'Melting Mountain Ice,' 'Netherlands Below Sea Level'
as well as those much-publicized abuses of the peer-review literature and so called 'gray literature.'
These powerful litigants also draw attention to the proven criminal conduct
by climate scientists in refusing to honor Freedom of Information law (FOIA) requests. "

and,
" Moreover, PEC is demanding that the EPA shall convene a
full evidentiary hearing as a part of such reconsideration.
If this element of the petition were granted it is highly probable that
the weight of the new evidence now freely available since Climategate would expose
the criminal and fraudulent component within the science of man-made global warming, and
would likely succeed in having all the EPA's findings on carbon dioxide invalidated.
Thereby, from accomplishing their civil task Peabody will lend further weight to
the likelihood of criminal charges being brought against those individuals
implicated in international fraud on the largest scale ever known. "

I feel a great sense of sadness that the lawyers will beat the scientists "to it" regarding the AGW scam.
There again, maybe as it was always a political problem, that result was always inevitable.
BUT, IT COULD NOT OF HAPPENED UNLESS some science and scientists were / are motivated MORE by greed, than the truth.

Interesting and funny observation about "lawyers to the rescue".

It does look like the word irony will be redefined...

"Dirty" Big coal, and "blood sucking" lawyers save us from the environmental lobby..

You couldn't make it up.

But someone did.
