After one week of UN climate talks in Thailand, not a single country has made a fresh commitment, and US negotiators stunned delegates by calling for any new treaty to be ‘flexible’ and ‘dynamic’ rather than legally binding, representing a complete U-turn on its previous position. Continue reading

Enviro groups say brown-coal carbon tax compo keeps us dirty
THE carbon tax is making Australia more, not less, dependent on the highly polluting brown-coal electricity generators. Billion-dollar subsidies have allowed the Victorian operations to force cleaner base-load power stations out of the market. Continue reading
Aus: Brown profits and Green fury from carbon tax plan
THE Orwellian name of the Gillard government’s carbon tax policy – Clean Energy Future – makes its aim of shifting electricity generation from the dirtiest power stations to the cleanest quite plain. Consumers are entitled to feel somewhat mystified that brown-coal generation – the highest carbon polluter – is largely unaffected by carbon emissions policy. Continue reading

Aus: Carbon tax leaves big polluters better off
When they talk about “big polluters” they actually mean those returning previously lost carbon to the biosphere – apparently that’s a terrible thing, liberating an essential trace gas in short supply. Continue reading

“Sunshade” to fight climate change costed at $5 bln a year
Uh-huh… and what is the cost in lost primary productivity. That’s actually not easy to work out because lumber trees might actually grow better due to scattering allowing greater insolation of the forest understory while field crops would likely fare worse due to loss of net insolation. Also places experiencing drought could claim it’s due to reduced insolation reducing evaporation and storm formation and so on. Developing an agreed regime and compensation structure for the inevitable losers from such “climate interference” should prove far more entertaining than such a simple instrument as Kyoto and Son of Kyoto. How’s that popping corn crop coming along? Continue reading
