Garnaut Green in Australia

Australia's Federal Government's climate change adviser Professor Ross Garnaut has outlined the path he believes Australia should take in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in the final instalment of his review of climate change options outlines a number of different scenarios. The one he prefers would see Australia reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10 per cent by the year 2020. A goal which has greenies generally agreeing with him too. On the way to that goal, he recommends an interim arrangement which would put a cost on carbon at $20 a tonne in 2010, rising with an interest rate and inflation each year until 2013.
