The media finally seem to be waking up to what a potential disaster the ETS is, so if they keep up the growing criticism, and if Turnbull were to actually develop enough spine to just vote it down and out, then Copenhagen is nothing more than a (non binding) talkfest, some level of common sense might actually prevail.I wonder how Rudd will worm his way out of this one. The whole ETS thing is turning into a shambles, as all those (US) level heading thinking people have stated. It was, and is flawed policy. Let's pray that the only thing that comes out of Copenhagen is pollies, greenies and bureaucrats with large hangovers.

The electorate no longer regards climate change as an urgent imperative, now that they are beginning to realise how the ETS will affect their hip pockets, said hip pockets now no longer being flush with the hand out cash.
It's just possible the rosy glow of Kevin 07 is really beginning to be tinged with harsh reality in the minds of more voters.
It appeared she hadn't even skimmed the draft treaty available online. The cynical would suggest the "interview" was loosely scripted giving Gore, the lobbyist, some more air time. Never, not from the ABC...http://www.theage.com.au/national/abc-chief-seeks-massive-funding-boost-20091104-hxyt.htmlSpeaking of Spineless, Leigh Sales, Presenter of ABC's Lateline didn't even go near the treaty last night with featured guest Al Gore. The interview was a joke in light of the recent 'accidental' discoveries on the AGW scam.
It's beginning to look as if it will not be legally binding....http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/11/06/2735040.htm
I for one, am mightily chuffed. But just as with the Republic referendum, I suspect it'll simply be a matter of time.
According to KRudd, all 'sceptics' are essentially spineless, cowardly, uncaring & essentially un-Australian.
Gotta love the whining lil' dood, right?

Rudd is a bigoted fool. Nearly all the world's great advances in science, medicine and geographical discovery were made by sceptics and usually in the face of great opposition from the perceived wisdom of the majority. Columbus and Charles Darwin e.g. weren't spineless.
I think perhaps his attack on all sceptics may be backfiring somewhat.According to KRudd, all 'sceptics' are essentially spineless, cowardly, uncaring & essentially un-Australian.

I've attached his speech for anyone interested, and who has a strong stomach.I think perhaps his attack on all sceptics may be backfiring somewhat.
The truth is this is hard, because the climate change skeptics, the climate change deniers, the opponents of climate change action are active in every country.
They are a minority. They are powerful. And invariably they are driven by vested interests.
Powerful enough to so far block domestic legislation in Australia, powerful enough to so far slow down the passage of legislation through the US Congress. And ultimately by limiting the ambition of national climate change commitments they are powerful enough to threaten a deal on global climate change both in Copenhagen and beyond.
Why fight inevitability? a single world governing council of some form has always been inevitable...i didn't, and still don't think we will see it for at least a half a century, but the Copenhagen Agreement is a good start.

I know this is all hard for the right wing Liberals that dominate this forum to accept but its ALWAYS been a certainty, just because John Howard and GW Bush etc decided to ignore it all for over a decade doesn't change the facts of inevitability.
Ignoring reality for political gain is and always has been self indulgent, destructive and expensive....not to mention very stupid.
Im not against a World government per se, but i would be against it if it meant that people did not have the right to vote. It then becomes like a monarchy/dictorship where the standard 'peasants' have no way of making their voice heard and creates an (even) bigger divide between the haves an have nots. Too 1984ish for my liking if there is no voting involved.
a world government - or the idea of one, has been thrown around and written about by politicians and citizens who represent the entire spectrum of politics.
If you're for the idea, that's your prerogative, but don't try suggesting that those that oppose the idea, are all right wing and backward. Ignorance is just as dangerous as knowledge.
