The much hyped 2020 Summit was a profound disappointment to say the least.
It truly was a talk-fest which surprisingly found the issues of becoming a republic and overhauling the tax and welfare systems as the top issues for the weekend. I wonder how it is that climate change and the environment was not among the top issues for the weekend?
Apparently the 1002 participants found the environment and climate change to be not-so-important issues compared to overhauling the tax and welfare systems.
So where does this leave Australia on its future environment and combating climate change? Well it leaves a huge question mark hanging over the Rudd ALP Government.
Surely with the high frequency of climate reports urging immediate and swift action, the 2020 Summit participants would have had much more to say about how Australia can tackle climate change. The information coming out of the Summit officially and from summit participants indicates that climate change and the environment have low priorities, and there have been no real new ideas produced for tackling these issues. There have been a number of reports of the coal lobby hijacking the climate change and environment sessions to prevent suggestions of the coal industry being wound back and having their huge government subsidies slashed.
Whether the coal lobby hijacked the climate change and environment session or not, the fact that ‘clean coal’ and CO2 geosequestration were still major elements of discussion highlights the farce of those sessions. And even more farcical is the Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, defending how these sessions could continue to support the coal industry.
Unless we make profound changes to our way of thinking on generating and using energy then we may find ourselves boiling in our own sweat.

Ah I see the climate change deniers are resorting to fanciful explanations so they can enslave humanity to dirty air, dirty water, dirty oceans and an uncomfortable future.
Al Gore’s widely discredited film “An Inconvenient Truth” that falsely hypes the threat of global warming has now been further discredited. ABC News has discovered that Gore used computer generated footage in his documentary that was taken from the 2004 natural disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow” to fraudulently emphasize the global warming threat. If global warming is such a dire threat to us, why would Gore need to use computer generated footage in the documentary to justify his point? The bottom line is that Gore’s film is based off of lies in order to scare the public into believing that man made carbon emissions are the cause of all of the planet’s environmental problems. Gore ignores scientific data that indicates solar activity is the real cause for planetary warming. Mars and other planets have also experienced rising temperatures the same time that warming has been reported on Earth. So unless man is on other planets emitting carbon, it is clear that solar activity is the cause for the planetary warming. Gore also ignores the fact that this past winter saw record snowfalls and record low temperatures in various parts of the world which indicate that this warming cycle might be coming to an end. Gore’s theories simply don’t add up, but that doesn’t stop him from attempting to recruit a green army of 10 million useful idiots to help him push this agenda. Instead of tackling real environmental problems like chemicals being dumped in oceans, the disappearance of the bees, genetically modified foods, the mixing of human and animal DNA and chemicals being sprayed in the air, Gore would prefer to tackle a problem that isn’t real. This makes Gore a phony environmentalist and he has positioned himself to profit greatly off of this scam. Gore is nothing more than a propagandist who is hyping this phony doomsday scenario so the global elite can justify implementing a planetary carbon tax which will be used to enslave humanity.
