First, there were those infamous hacked e-mails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia. Now, a mere seven days before the Copenhagen Conference on climate change, this breaking news story takes the breath away. The whole global warming shambles is falling apart. Today, The Copenhagen Post declares: Denmark Rife With CO2 Fraud:
Denmark is the centre of a comprehensive tax scam involving CO2 quotas, in which the cheats exploit a so-called VAT carrousel, reports Ekstra Bladet newspaper.
Police and authorities in several European countries are investigating scams worth billions of kroner, which all originate in the Danish quota register. The CO2 quotas are traded in other EU countries.
And the fraud may be of massive proportions:
Ekstra Bladet reporters have found examples of people using false addresses and companies that are in liquidation, which havent been removed from the register.
One of the cases, which stems from the Danish register, involves fraud of more than 8 billion kroner. This case, in which nine people have been arrested, is being investigated in England.
What can one say?
We all knew from the start that carbon trading could prove, by its very nature, a crooks charter. But such an allegation relating to Denmark, of all places, at the precise moment of the Copenhagen Conference, where such cap-and-trade measures will be at the forefront of debate, must have the Little Mermaid crying so much that sea-levels may indeed rise.
Simply staggering! How long can this global warming nonsense be tolerated? As Marcellus declares, Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Im off for a strong, wee dram.
Visualize it on a global scale.......
Bush was so bad..he wanted to enslave the entire world....America was so bad....Mass protests...and all that.....But these same people who “cared so much” have revealed themselves as true idiots for believing this climate garbage.
Wouldn’t you just LOVE to see Algore Hiss in jail?
Not to be trite here but I see in my mind those montages from films of the 1930s, fictional newspapers spinning around with blaring headlines.
