Greenhouse Gas Plan

Greenhouse gas plan would cripple resources sector, PM warns. :

"Premiers and chief ministers have released a discussion paper on a scheme to set national emission targets for the three main greenhouse polluting gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide."

No use coming in with the heavy artillery when the states and territories have launched a DISCUSSION paper. Let's discuss. We are concerned about greenhouse emissions. We can do better. The excess greenhouse emissions are doing us and our planet harm. We do need to act. Act, not react. Australia can do better and we are not party to all the protocols which have been signed by other countries. Whatever we lose in greenhouse gases we shall replace with renewable or alternative energies so the jobs should be still available. If they are not, that will become clear as the discussion progresses. There is enough evidence to suggest we need to take action and we need to discuss the issue in its entirety. Global warming is something we neither want nor need. We shall lose more than jobs if we don't take action .
