Environmental Policy. With the current political hiatus should I worry?
04/04/13 11:02
If you are still contemplating this question you are already well behind the 8 ball.
Fact: both major parties in Australia have a 5% reduction emission target based on 2000 levels by the year 2020. The only difference is the method used to achieve this. The alternate one is by way of an incentive, the current one is taxation? Will the stick or the carrot work more effectively?

Carbon emission reduction NOT Carbon neutral
25/07/08 13:27
Having just returned from the UK it is interesting to reflect on the differences between the approaches to carbon emissions.
In the UK they have had a government who recognized the issue of climate change earlier and therefore legislated to force behavioral change.
While not way ahead of Australia, one of the things that I noticed, and liked, was the growing skepticism towards the carbon neutral claim.
The focus is now on standards for product labeling of emissions.
Consumers can make a choice not only on price and quality but also the amount of emissions the product produces.More here...
