the reason data at the time indicated an ice age was due to a massive volcanic eruption at the time. Sulphur dioxide reflects the suns energy back to space. This has been acknowledged. And "global warming" is entirely the wrong word climate change is far more accurate as its affects are not just about warming they are about extreme weather events. It is a complicated issue that the media is failing to communicate the public in a meaningful way.

While other countries won't change policy "just because Australia has", the more countries setting ambitious carbon reduction targets, and investing in sustainable technology, the greater the pressure on other nations with far larger carbon emissions to act also. Also, the economic cost of combating climate change would be far less than the economic and social cost of not doing so.

Australlia does not want any action on climate change. At worst we see a minor rise in temperature, not a big deal.

Australian Action + Little World Action = No Realistic Changes To World Climate

@xingwei12 what utter crap. 'He wanted to keep our money in our country' well all the money was coming from selling it overseas and if you drive away investment and jack up prices too much then you're going to screw that sector over aren't you?

oh and the tax has been inproved since rudd has gone. at least its 12% rather than 6% before it kicks in. think about it 6% profit is super? bullshit, they'd make more money investing in the stock market and getting dividends.

@AussiePolitics Rudd , Was keeping our resources in our country . If he did not do that in the end all we will be left with is big holes in the ground and all the fat cats will be gone. You will wish you had krudd then .,.,.He wanted to keep our money in our country ,That is not bad, Tony wont tax them but hell tax the hell out of everyday people and small business ,.

The treasury is more right than Crazy tony .

Tony doesn't have any plans on anything. If he was the Prime Minister, it'd hit him in the face so hard because suddenly he has nobody to critisize and he'll be in the spotlight. I don't think he realizes just because he says someone else is wrong, that doesn't make him right.
