But we will introduce our own carbon tax?

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Climate Nonconformist

Wise move, but why couldn’t the government show similar responsibility when making domestic policies?

AUSTRALIA has emphasised that it will not sign up to a new legally binding climate change target unless the biggest greenhouse gas emitters are included.

In a formal statement at the United Nations climate talks in Durban, Climate Change Minister Greg Combet said a second stage of the Kyoto Protocol – the world’s only binding climate pact – would not be environmentally effective if it covered countries responsible for only 15 per cent of global emissions.

Hi, I'm the climatenonconformist (not my real name), and I am a global warming skeptic, among the few in generation Y. With Australia facing the prospect of a carbon tax, we need to be asking the simple question; where is the evidence that our emissions are causing any dangerous warming?

    Gosh, who would have guessed that the Gillard government had a modicum of sense! Pity they couldn’t have shown it in regard to this obnoxious carbon tax.
