The Lavoisier Group Inc was established to ask questions about:

• greenhouse science;
• greenhouse economics;
• the Kyoto Protocol;
• the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC);
• the impact on Australian sovereignty of the Kyoto Protocol;
• the changes to Australia's prosperity and national well-being should the Kyoto Protocol be ratified;
• the integrity or otherwise of the IPCC's reports and recommendations; and
• the history (ancient and modern) of the earth's climate.

Such questions are never asked in a vacuum. The context in which they are being asked is one of concern for the future of Australia as a free prosperous and independent nation; a nation whose economy has developed over the last fifty years on the basis of cheap energy and an abundance of mineral and agricultural resources. More recently Australia's manufacturing industries have increasingly become globally competitive, but more often than not, that competitiveness has been based on the abundance of cheap energy which we have taken for granted. Our economy is now at risk from the imposition of a carbon tax (a tax on burning fossil fuels) which will turn our cheap energy into expensive energy, with serious consequences for every Australian.
