Green Grubs (Weekend Humour)

After the repeal of the despised tax on vital to life carbon dioxide, the tax that, according to IPCC Scientist Professor Roger Jones (link), would reduce, by 2100,  global temperature by four thousands of a degree, Sarah Hanson-Young(@SarahinSen8) tweeted: "climate sceptic grubs."

This got me thinking.......what colour are most grubs?

Now, I am probably wrong, but I get a strong image in my mind and that image is Green.

When I worked in the pottery industry, I worked with a marvellous industrial chemist who was great at creating and naming glazes;  Great Keppel Blue is one that comes to mind.

Perhaps, if Tom was still with us, he could create a new colour called Sarah Hansen's Grub Green.

He could also create some colours for some of SHY's fantasies, like Sea Patrol red (the colour her cheeks should have been) and economic immigrant blue for SHY's open border policy blue. 

And perhaps Earthling Brown after old Greens leader Bob. 

Perhaps Milne mauve?

And for Bill Shorten, with his pitch for (as Christopher Pyne said) a "rotten stinking carcass around his neck," could I suggest "Pitch Black?"

Remember the nematodes, SHY, they are attracted by the CO2 emissions of "green grubs" and kill them.

 It contains insect-pathogenic nematodes of the species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora that seek out actively for grubs in the soil. Attracted by CO2 emissions of the grubs they enter into their body, kill them and reproduce inside the cadaver. (link)

 

Carbon Dioxide Tax: Useful? Useless?

Shadow Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Mark Butler today said that if the carbon dioxide tax is reversed, Australia would be without any "useful" climate change policy.

Note the word useful.

Remember that his party, the Australian Labor Party, introduced a useless carbon dioxide tax.

Useless. you ask?

Well, what would you call a tax that would cut global temperatures by four thousands of one degree by the end of the century?

During an interview on the Bolt Report, 13 April 2014, (LINK) Anthony Albanese told Andrew Bolt that “We are not Climate Sceptics....”

Andrew Bolt then said: 

The IPCC Scientist Professor Roger Jones estimates that at the very most, if global warming theory hasn’t been exaggerated, your (Labor’s) carbon tax or an emissions trading scheme to achieve the same effect, would cut the world’s temperatures by four thousandths of one degree by the end of the century.

Victoria University climate scientist Professor Roger Jones has calculated that if the rest of the world did not act and Australia reduced emissions until 2020, then did nothing else, Australia's policy would knock 0.0038 degrees off the global  temperaturetemperature rise by 2100.

Jones's best estimate is that in those circumstances, global temperatures would rise by 4.7674 degrees. If Australia also did nothing, the temperature rise would be 4.7712 degrees.

THERE! Did you find that information useful?
