Aussies among 'top contributors to Earth's decline': WWF

This is just sooooo much hogwash. These figures are manipulated and deliberately aimed at a Federal government that is gullible enough to believe them and undertake drastic measures to appease these GREEN fruitloops. It defies logic that we pollute so much. Why dont these people take on the Chinese, Indian or United States governments. And stay out of our gullible gutless politicians faces.

Pat. Wake up. It is not these groups feeding a gullible Government...It is a lying Government supporting these types of groups because the groups provide this kind of rubbish to support the Government in their devious plan to have us as a third world country and completely under their control. They only want the money and greed will prevail...unless we stop them at the next election.

There is No truth in this story on global warming caused by humans creating a carbon problem. It is a fallacious lie put together by scheming Godless people that would make it increasingly difficult for humans in their day to day living and the general economics of business including farming. There is a new machine taking engine exhaust fumes from the tractor and taking it by way of pipes to a scarifier type point and injecting it into the soil, which then produces a improved crop withiot any super phosphate etc. Just this one fact shows that the present rate of carbon is of no consequence to the world.Ask Ian Plimer, a non connected politically scientist unlike others who are receiving money/financial help to say what politicians/governments want to hear. David.J.

o Australia produces (historically) approximately 1.1% of global carbon emitted. o Should Australia to hypothetically stop carbon production totally, to zero; We can only ever change the global carbon production by 1.1%. Now just think about that for a minute; On a global scale, it is a barely significant contribution. o Now add to that, the intention to cut Australia’s emissions by 5% by 2020. that amounts to reducing the carbon contribution of the globe by 1/20th of 1.1%. Incredibly miniscule overall. o Add to that; Globally, in general, those who produce most Co2, do the least, and none appear really seriously interested in the argument at all. The per capita argument is a specious argument, it doesn’t matter whether the population is 100 or 100M, we produce what we produce at this point in time. That is all we can change, the total.... Should we need to. The carbon tax argument, is causing extraordinary financial pain, so much so that most of the tax raised is being sucked up by compensation for hardship due to the tax. What a silly manufactured situation. And of course leaving little really for anything else such as alternative energy, which is what it should or could be used for if the arguments of climate change are real and serious, having a natural flow on that will again remove the need for more handouts

What would the impact from 21 million ppl do, when there is over 6 billion ppl and still growing... China and India and other third world countries are the problem causing countries, that is they aren’t anyway because there is no such thing as Climate Change or Global Warming...instead of wasting tons of time researching this stupid crap, why don’t these ppl put their efforts into humanitarian aid for those malnourished and poverty struck? At least it would give them something worth worrying about, and they would be doing some good for a change instead of making our so called “emissions” rise with all this hot air they’re making!!!:)

I have never heard such nonsence in my life. You can't compare us to contries that have masses of people that have no no power in the caculation. China is installing more coal fire power weekly than our total usage. Our consumption may be higher but is based on the fact that we all have power on tap.No so for those that we are compared with. Get a life I say to this nonsence.

you welcome thoughtful comments. Too bad you didn't get any with this article. Just the usual emotive drivel.

Bruce just go back to 1.1% of the total for Australia and 5% of that !!! don't sidetrack the argument into real or unreal global warming. Dr Taylor is pays his mortage by being a believer

All we hear from Gillard and Milne is about the new economy and how it wil transform Australia with new green jobs and save us from being branded as global environmental vandals by the WWF.(Thought that was a wrestling outfit) OK I have a few questions; What is the new economy going to be and and what point in the downward spiral of the current economy will we see it as things are not the best at the moment; and What exactly are the new economy jobs in an age when we cannot complete with manufacturing costs of developing countries; our dollar is too high and with technology being what it is fewer and fewer people are required to run anything these days. Please tell me.
