carbon tax , page-55

Please feel free to do the maths portsea7. The large developing nations - China & India, who will incidentally be larger than China in terms of population before you know it, cannot possibly achieve middle income status for their many millions without having a significantly larger impact than is already tha case, on the environment. Something has to give and unless more countries elect to go down the path of what Australia is attempting to achieve right now as a civilisation we're staring down the barrel of a total collapse both in an ecological and by default economical sense.

It is mathematically and scientifically impossible to continue with the staus quo, so things MUST change and the clever ones already realise this. (Please don't think I'm including myself in this clever category ;)

China has already destroyed vast areas of their ecology and they know that they must change the way industry works, whilst maintaining high economic growth - very much a juggling act.
