Carbon Tax and other Climate Bullshit

[KiwiCol]

Pifffff, we still burn COAL here, and we're allowed to!  Hell, the supermarkets even sell 20kg bags of the stuff.    Helps if you're a coal mining town I guess . . .  The pubs here still have open fires & burn coal, Strongman coal.

Here's a pic of the sign above the Nelson Creek pub doorway, and they're not joking either . . .

Used to live next to an orchard and the neighbour had a massive pile of stuff to burn heaped up on his yard. One evening it's burning and because I quite like a fire I went over. Asked him how on earth did you get that to light. He says you gotta get a few tyres fill'em with diesel then light them, you won't put that out.
He might have started climate change that night. Took a couple of days to burn but he kept pushing it all in with his tractor, just some wire, nails and tyre beads to pick up, job done.

Did a lot of work for a truck yard. One day I'm in the office and see pinned to the wall a 'fire permit' to burn pallets and packaging.
I went past when the fire was going and it was massive. I said that was more than pallets, John says yeah we burned the pallets and packaging then pushed the fire onto the old house that was on the property. Tuesday evening, Brigade training night. John was the deputy fire chief at the local Omokoroa Volunteer Fire Brigade, a lot of the guys at the yard were members. Good buggers lots of funny stories.

I think there's an insane amount of oil in the gearbox of a wind turbine, from (old foggy) memory it was about 400 litres or so. and it need changing, waaaay up there in the sky . . .

I worked in a pretty large printing firm for a while.
All our guillotines were hydraulic, held several gallons and got regular oil changes. Unlike engine oil, the old oil still came out golden and actually looked fine.
We were supposed to pay a disposal fee, but a local farmer collected it and was happy to take it away.

I later found out he had a spray gun that would spray it. He was coating everything with it, fence posts, old trailers and muck spreaders left in the paddock, anything. If it was steel or timber it got a regular coat of our old oil. He thought it was wonderful !

I guess all these years later I'd now need a mountain of paperwork to show I'd responsibly disposed of it.

My last work, disposal engine oil fee meant my boss profit was negative on oil used in services. No wonder she sold out.

To say nothing of the constant forest fires in Canada - one volcano eruption wipes out all human effort - Climate Change Human made?! - total BS!

Carbon farming, or planting pinetrees on farms that have been purchased by overseas companies to offset
their carbon tax liabilities are having a major impact on those areas. They take a working farm get rid of the farming, then plant trees that will never be harvested.
So ole mate that was doing the fencing,  the shearing, the milking, croping, selling the fert, servicing the farm equipment etc no longer has work. The cost and long term effect of that is not seen by the oversees owner, but is certainly noticeable within the local community in the form of unemployment and the issues that come along with that.......It's just idiotic to do it.

Same here productive farming land covered in acres and acres of solar panels. Clearing forests on mountain tops to erect wind turbines that kill bird life.
It just doesn't make any sense to normal humans. 🤯🤯🤯🤬🤬🤬

Makes BlackRock & other companies that are in the WEF even richer though, helps their plans to destroy western society & make the world back into serfs too.

There is a fine line between denialism and criticism of the correct and committed actions of governments-states
