Ghastly Garnaut


By Grizzly - Posted on 06 September 2008

Sod it! Just when my Aussie friends thought they'd got a good guy 'on side' -- Ross Garnaut the Oz's PM "Pocket Economist" has totally bugggered his near-final recommendations -- by selling out a deal.
Garnaut says that we've virtually *no* chance of solving climate change because, “It is too complex. The special interests are too numerous, powerful and intense.” He recommends that Australia should pursue a global climate deal that - even he admits – puts the world at risk of the disastrous climate change consequences he set out in his draft report.
Garnaut says the international community isn’t ready (in his opinion) for aiming to stabilise at a burden of 450 parts per million, so let’s not try because it will cost us too much if we take strong action alone.
Ah -- yuk!
