How then would the collection of carbon taxes reduce the amount of land being deforrested . The Amazon , Borneo , Sumatra and Java are being plundered and i agree they are the worlds lungs and further agree that these forest absorb CO2 emmissions .

So how are you going to stop this ? Nobody can unless there is intervention and that would have to mean armed intervention . Just like 7 billion people about to become 10 billion in the not too distant - how do we deal with that . More crops , less fresh water per head

There may be an overall problem but that problem is being hijacked to fill corporations and individuals pockets under the guise of climate change action

I have little faith in anyone doing anything for the right reason - Gillard / carbon tax / UN / job for life - that's where that was going - Thank god your mate TA pulled the plug on that con
