Even at this early stage, the economic impact of climate change is significant ($100 billion in the US for the last 12 months from crop loss and storm damage) No figures on costs associated with bush fires or floods in Australia as yet.

.... and the oceans are still decades away from reaching any semblance of thermal equilibrium with the changes we have precipitated.

ie) even if we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow,
the CO2 we have already pumped in to the air will guarantee us
double the global warming that we have already experienced.
You do know its a myth right and nothing more then a ploy to reap tax payers money? It's a massive debate and any real scientists will back that climate shift is a natural cycle of the planet and there is evidence upon evidence to prove this fact. You should think about just one volcano and the amout of CO2 it spews out vs china alone. Its like saying we should stop farting Carbon tax is just away around increasing the GST, and does it help the climate or government pockets?
