    In the meantime let's get a bit of perspective and common sense into the forum at least.

    We keep being told we are the world's 12th biggest polluter but not told the top 11 are responsible for 90% it the problem Our share is 1%.

    Under this agreement between the USA and China, the Chinese are not obliged to start reducing their pollution for 16 YEARS.

    Australia's Direct Action Plan is similar to the USA's

    America does not have a ETS.

    Obama has no guarantee he can deliver given his parlous political position.Ask Mitch McConnell Republican (Kentucky)

    Contrary to popular belief China is using more coal each year.

    Australia will present a measured response to a longer term commitment at the Paris conference next year.
