Norfolk Island Carbon Credit Scheme

Just read about some half cocked leftist plan, ok experiment, for Norfolk Island. And trust me, it’s completely moronic and makes you think of totalitarian rulers like Franco, Hitler and Stalin. I’m sure they all did something similar and with similar reasons; “the good of the people.”
You hear those five words and you automatically know that it’s not going to be good. Far, far, far from it.
The government has okayed this carbon rations experiment on Norfolk island. It’s supposed to help cut down green house gases and help prevent global warming (*laughs* what a joke!), and prevent and/or lower obesity.
Sounds fair enough … except for the bit about global warming. Those little words spell DISASTER! for any sane, logical person. You know, people who know that global warming is a massive CON!
Yeah.
That’s right.
I said it.
And you know I’m right.
Just look at the facts … or at least the most important fact; the planet is COOLING down … and I guess the other most important fact; the earth has natural cooling and heating periods.
Climate change is NATURAL, and to try and prevent that is even worse than the damn imagined disaster you’re trying to prevent … fools.
But I digress …
Norfolk Island …
They want to introduce carbon credit cards to the island, and the Norfolkians (is that what they’re called?) have a set amount to purchase their fuel, food, electricity, gas etc etc. I’m sure you get my drift.
And I’m also sure that you have already realized (since this is also to lower obesity) that fatty foods will cost more credits than healthy food.
Sounds good so far, doesn’t it?
But remember that things that have to be imported from the mainland will also cost more, because of all of those pesky green house emissions caused getting it there.
Not sounding so good now is it?
Healthy and fatty foods costing about the same and being grossly expensive.
But what about all of Norfolk’s natural produce, I hear you ask.
Good question. I’m glad you asked.
I’m pretty certain that Norfolk doesn’t have much of an agricultural industry. It’s only a small island. And even if it did, it wouldn’t be enough to provide for the entire island.
But wait! There’s more;
Each year the carbon credits will be cut down so that they become rarer and rarer and therefore more expensive for the poor suckers who blow all their carbon credits (maybe that’ll teach them not to eat).
So the carbon credits will most likely be worth more than their weight in gold, and the Norfolkians (I’m sticking with it now!) will all rush to leave the island when living there becomes outrageously expensive, and/or there’ll be a roaring black market for carbon credits (who needs to deal drugs when you can deal with carbon credits?).
And most likely, the government will see this experiment has a massive success, and the rest of Australia will be stuck with the same thing (and we won’ eased into it like the Norfolkians). So it may well be time to relocate to another, saner, country if this passes.
