The myth is busted

SOME Australian banks won’t fund new coal-fired power, Peter Taylor (CP, 13/02) because of the sovereign risk presented by irrational politicians making silly laws on the basis of a popular myth.

And how can emissions of “carbon” cause both more rain and less rain?

As to “cheaper electricity production (from) renewables”, why has the forced injection of 15 per cent renewables caused our power bills to double? Sorry, Peter. Carbon dioxide does not cause global warming or the seas would have risen unnaturally by now. The myth is busted and the majority of voters know it.
