What about those on very low, fixed incomes, such as retirees relying on interest.
I have huge doubts that this went anywhere, but perhaps OWG can provide an update?
This is interesting. UN climate scientists pleading for immunity from criminal prosecution - do they know they haven't been truthful? Can't see why else they would be begging for immunity which surely should not be given?

I already deal with that in an earlier post. You could try reading it.
But, just for you, that problem only applies where the person on the fixed income does not pay any tax even under the old, higher-tax system. Those people - not all that many of them it is true, but certainly some - are worse off. But most fixed income earners are significantly better off because they no longer have to pay income tax. That's a huge saving.
Interesting this has been ignored.Data Manipulation... interested in comments from the catastrophists

Still interested in your comments ladies.
Lucky Greenland. The real estate people will be rubbing their hands in glee.
A crescent shaped crack (C) is pictured in the Petermann Glacier in Greenland
According to glaciologist Lora Koenig, who was part of the team analyzing the data, melting incidents of this type occur every 150 years on average.
"With the last one happening in 1889, this event is right on time," Koenig said.
Steve Goddard is really doing some excellent sleuthing.
History Of How The Hockey Stick Was Manufactured
Once again, I'm interested in comments from the MIA warmists.
I'm going on holiday but the answer is I don't believe your sources. Where are the graphs coming from? No sources are provided.
There are groups out there deliberately lying and have stated it is their policy to do so to slow action on climate change and are paid to do so. It is just propaganda.
I prefer Japanese, European and USA sources.

THE verdict is in: Global warming is real and greenhouse-gas emissions from human activity are the main cause.
This, according to Richard A. Muller, professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, a MacArthur fellow and co-founder of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and hundreds of other climatologists around the world came to such conclusions years ago.
However, the difference now is the source: Muller is a longstanding, colourful critic of prevailing climate science, and the Berkeley project was heavily funded by the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation, which, along with its libertarian petrochemical billionaire founder Charles G Koch, has a considerable history of backing groups that deny climate change.
In an opinion piece in Saturday's New York Times titled The Conversion of a Climate-Change Skeptic, Muller writes: "Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming.
"Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct.
"I'm now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause."
The Berkeley project's research has shown, Muller says, "that the average temperature of the earth's land has risen by 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) over the past 250 years, including an increase of 1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.55 Celsius) over the most recent 50 years.
"Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases."
He calls his current stance "a total turnaround."
Professor Muller's contrived research has been receiving saturation coverage on ABC Radio in the last 24 hours.
Of course.
Just saw this and thought it would be good to post in this thread.
Climate-change denier changes his mind

Richard Muller has never been a skeptic, at best he had a moment of intellectual honesty towards skeptics when he acknowledged Steve McIntyre's debunking of Mann's Hockey Stick, only to later dismiss this as irrelevant to the global warming debate, "This result should not affect any of our thinking on global warming". Hardly surprising, as Muller considers the carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels to be, "the greatest pollutant in human history" and likely to have, "severe and detrimental effects on global climate". The future outlook for global warming according to Muller is that, "it’s going to get much, much worse" and thus advocates that the United States immediately pay China and India hundreds of billions of dollars to cut back their carbon emissions or, "it'll be too late". No wonder he endorsed "The Earth is the Great Ship Titanic", Steven Chu as "perfect" for U.S. Energy Secretary and Al Gore's hypocritical alarmism,
"If Al Gore reaches more people and convinces the world that global warming is real, even if he does it through exaggeration and distortion - which he does, but he’s very effective at it - then let him fly any plane he wants."
- Richard Muller, 2008
"There is a consensus that global warming is real. ...it’s going to get much, much worse." - Richard Muller, 2008
"Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate." - Richard Muller, 2003
Thank you for your emails to the ABC.
In accordance with the ABC's complaint handling procedures, your correspondence has been referred to Audience & Consumer Affairs, a unit which is separate to and independent of program making areas within the ABC. The role of Audience & Consumer Affairs is to investigate complaints alleging that ABC content has breached the ABC's editorial standards. In the course of doing so, we seek comment from the relevant division, in this case, ABC Radio.
We understand your concerns to be centred on the accuracy of statements made by a talkback caller during the 'Chat Room' segment of the 'Sunday night with John Cleary' program at approximately 1.45 am on Monday 9 July. You are concerned that neither John Cleary nor his guest corrected the caller's assertion that "...98% of those people in Nauru were made Australian citizens...". You provide some alternate figures in your email which we acknowledge and have passed onto John Cleary for his information.
