Aussies Dump Cap and Tax

Now we need to follow the lead of our Aussie friends and dump Cap and Tax forever.

Emboldened following the Climategate scandal, the Liberal opposition in Australia's parliament threw out its pro-Kyoto leader yesterday and then today, under the leadership of global warming skeptic Tony Abbott, voted down the government's plan to pass cap and trade legislation. The proposed legislation, intended to be a feather in the cap of Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd prior to his departure for climate change meetings in Copenhagen, failed by a vote of 41 to 33 in the Senate, Australia's upper house.

Let's hope Copenhagen turns out to be a dismal failure as well. The data is just so crappy there is no way that trillions will be wasted on these schemes.
