Hi Peter Australia does have it's own cap-and-trade (Emissions Trading Scheme) but the Liberal opposition (after a leadership spill) tossed it out because it would have been a huge tax on all consumer items, the main being electricity. New leader, Tony Abbott, is a straight shooter and won't cop any crap from the likes of PM Kevin Rudd. Rudd wanted to take his ETS to Carbonhagen Copenhagen as a trophy to make himself a climate messiah. Many climate scientists are now distancing themselves from previously flawed data to save their reputations. The world’s largest-ever gathering of global warming sceptics took place in New York City on March 8-10, 2009, to confront the issue, “Global warming: Was it ever really a crisis?” The answer was a resounding “No!” The presenters at this year’s conference are the elite in the world among climate scientists.
