Are we in danger

Respectfully, the emmissions per capita debate argument is flawed. Even the government have not trotted out this chestnut for a while now months because it makes no mathematical sense.

Reason being is that total emmisions is not linked %age wise to population. A doubling of our population would not equate to a doubling of our emmisions. If (globally) the per capita debate was accepted as a measure for all nations to reduce, then the first thing we should do is open our borders, re introduce baby bonuses to increase our population hence reducing the per capita figure.

Good point HSV Red Sled, you are right. Economies of scale etc.

I brought it up as a counter point to the argument that Australia's total emmisions are low compared to China etc. This argument also has many flaws.

I was trying to illistrate that if we are childish and say Na na na na na. then so will they. I feel that all nations need to act and urgently. The time to act will never be perfect.

Its unusual for me to make so many responses. Two reasons: I am passionate about this subject and I've got the day off

Dont get me wrong...

We put a crap into the air...I admit that, but Australia does not have a half dome made of glass placed over it. We have to work with the rest of the world to address this issue globally.

Again I ask the quesation. How will a CO2 tax in Australia affect global emmissions? Anybody? Please answer?

We emit three parts of fark all emmissions globally, yet we have this tax forced upon us. It is....A JOKE. In simple terms.

Hung government. Juliar needed green vote to remotely square Libs. Then she does deals with renegade independents to form a minority government. She is now hamstrung. One of these loonies cross the floor...she is done.
But that wont happen. They have dug their graves in support of this nonsense, but have a nice parliamentary pension awaiting!

Governor General should intervene to stop this lunacy...but guess what... GG son in law is Bill Shorten!!!!!

It is complete lunacy and history will make Whitlam look like a genius compared to this nonsense.

I love to be wrong. Please...anybody...prove me wrong. What affect will this tax have on GLOBAL Emmisions? We do not live under a glass jar. GLOBAL EMMISSIONS.....please....
