The US creates nearly 25% of all CO2 emissions.
They have extremely cheap energy prices. The US government is not prepared to jack the prices up to offset the cost of reducing emissions.
There lies Australias stance on the matter. They dont, We wont.
Australia is still the worlds greatest exporter of coal as well.
Though Australia is adding to its list of natural and renewable sources of energy its not reducing its usage of fossil fuel, as Ving stated.
We cant pass the buck Jonathon, we contribute to the global warming as well, whatever our contribution.
