Given that fact, it hardly matters if climate change is being

their bikes, or dealers trading in carbon emissions.

China, our CO2 figures would look dramatically better. We could
stop exporting coal and go broke. Would the Chinese stop making
steel or stop using coal for electricity? Do not kid yourselves.
If you are going to do something, it has to have a measurable effect
and given the global situation, who can show me that whatever
Australia does, will actually have a global effect?
