carbon tax

very interesting article in The Australian

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/make-carbon-tax-hurt-julia-gillard-advised/story-fn59niix-1226060716218

"JULIA Gillard has been warned by a key scientific adviser to set the carbon tax high enough to drive investment away from fossil fuels to renewables..."

"The report's author, Climate Commissioner Will Steffen, says it will be critical to drive investment this decade towards low or no-emissions technologies and away from fossil fuels if the nation is to begin decarbonising the economy and the world is to avoid dangerous climate change."

Once again, my personal belief is that all these policies (and the Urgency behind them) is 100% about Peak Oil and not climate change at all.
