No one can convince me that putting a tax on CO2 will reduce emisions.
The only way to reduce CO2 emissions is to physically reduce them.
No matter what we do population growth will out strip any measures we implement, other than drastic solutions like nuclear.
Question, why is Australia so concerned about Carbon emissions when we only produce 1% of the total global output? Yes I know that per capita we use our fair share of energy, at the top of the list I think. What I don't understand, people are trying to reduce the amount of energy they use in their homes, using energy saver globes turning of lights, solar power, solar hot water, fuel efficient cars ect. people are more energy efficient than they have ever been. Shouldn't the people be rewarded for their efforts? not penalised.
Maybe this is why our power bills are going up. The power companies are not selling as much power and the shareholders are getting stroppy.
We should be at America's throat and China's, they are the biggest polluters on this planet. Oh we couldn't upset America heaven forbid. And China they might not buy our coal.
