Canberra Times Thinks That Australia’s 0.0006 Fraction Of CO2 Emissions Is Destroying The Planet

Professor Ross Garnaut recently highlighted the importance of action from Australia and stated: ‘‘Australia will be influential because the developed countries with high per capita emissions will be expected by the rest of the world to fully contribute to the global effort. If they do not, this will materially weaken the commitments of others, especially in the developing world. We, and other developed countries, can through inaction exercise a veto over effective global mitigation.’’

Sure, overall Australia contributes just less than 2 per cent of global emissions. But so do the vast majority of countries. In fact, countries that emit less than 2 per cent of global emissions make up around half of all the carbon pollution flowing into the atmosphere. Action from these emitters, including Australia, is crucial if we are to have any hope of reducing emissions. A global solution requires all countries to do their bit.

Man is responsible for 3% of CO2 emissions. Australia is responsible for 2% of the 3%. No doubt Australia’s 0.0006 fraction (which Julia wants to cut to 0.0005) will make a huge difference in the climate.

What a bunch of morons.

MIT : Arctic Worse Than We Thought!

“Holy bargain basements, Batman!” The Arctic is out of ice!

IQALUIT — New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says the most recent global climate report “fails to capture trends in Arctic sea-ice thinning and drift,” and in some cases “substantially underestimates these trends.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report, released in 2007, forecast an ice-free Arctic summer by 2100.

But that might happen much earlier, according to research by Pierre Rampal from MIT’s department of Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences, says an MIT news release on research to be published in the Journal of Geophysical Research — Oceans.

London Too Dangerous For Football Hooligans

Call it off! Spurs stars want Premier League opener scrapped amid fears of ongoing riots

Terrified Tottenham players have called for this weekend’s opening day Premier League fixture to be called off amid fears over the London riots.

Spurs are set to host Everton at White Hart Lane on Saturday but the match is in doubt after trouble erupted in the surrounding area of the stadium last weekend following the shooting of local man Mark Duggan.

England’s international with Holland was the first big sporting casualty after outbreaks of disorder swept the capital and forced tonight’s friendly to be scrapped, while four Carling Cup games and Ghana v Nigeria were axed.

And Wednesday’s schedule has also been affected with Bristol Rovers’ home clash with Watford in the Carling Cup now postponed on police advice.
