Safety is a dirty word for ETS scheme

Share |
The NZ government has found a rationalisation not to adopt the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The reality is that aside from these pragmatic reasons, it was never committed to adopting it, and was always relying upon the rejection of Julia Gillard's ETS scheme as a justification for its belated cancellation. With Julia Gillard fighting a strong opposition in Australia, vulnerability given her weak polls, there is good reason to think the policy will be dropped.
Of course we are not supportive of the ETS because we rejected the quality of science underpinning the claims. The reality is that this is a 'snow job' by liberal-leaning scientists. We need to understand that 86% of scientists are liberals sympathetic to environmental causes. They are people lacking critical thinking skills, lacking knowledge of economics, and in many cases the education to grasp that capitalism, markets, nor selfish materialism is the problem. What they don't realise is that - their anti-intellectualism is the problem....but since an apprehensive community is inclined to accept 'better safe than sorry' arguments, we are destined to be lead into a pursue of 'appearances' as a basis for decision-making.

Japan Foreclosed Property 2015-2016 - Buy this 5th edition report!

Over the years, this ebook has been enhanced with additional research to offer a comprehensive appraisal of the Japanese foreclosed property market, as well as offering economic and industry analysis. The author travels to Japan regularly to keep abreast of the local market conditions, and has purchased several foreclosed properties, as well as bidding on others. Japan is one of the few markets offering high-yielding property investment opportunities. Contrary to the 'rural depopulation' scepticism, the urban centres are growing, and they have always been a magnet for expatriates in Asia. Japan is a place where expats, investors (big or small) can make highly profitable real estate investments. Japan is a large market, with a plethora of cheap properties up for tender by the courts. Few other Western nations offer such cheap property so close to major infrastructure. Japan is unique in this respect, and it offers such a different life experience, which also makes it special. There is a plethora of property is depopulating rural areas, however there are fortnightly tenders offering plenty of property in Japan's cities as well. I bought a dormitory 1hr from Tokyo for just $US30,000.
You can view foreclosed properties listed for as little as $US10,000 in Japan thanks to depopulation and a culture that is geared towards working for the state. I bought foreclosed properties in Japan and now I reveal all in our expanded 350+page report. The information you need to know, strategies to apply, where to get help, and the tools to use. We even help you avoid the tsunami and nuclear risks since I was a geologist/mining finance analyst in a past life. Check out the "feedback" in our blog for stories of success by customers of our previous reports.
