They have to or they won't get elected.
I draw your attention to the following.
The Howard government has been spending money on actions to help against
global warming gases for some time, but at the same time not admitting
or talking about it, to the extent of being skeptical.
Now that the global warming seems to have public support, they have
come out of the closet.
Those of you familar with the Peak Oil scenario will recognise the
symptoms; the government just does not talk about peak oil and oil depletion.
However they are now handing out cash to get your car converted to gas.
They are still in the closet on peak oil, but if you note some of
Peter Costello's comments he is at least peeking out of the closet.
Regarding the comments on global warming, you have to remember that
there are warming and cooling cycles caused by the precession of the
poles and the precession of the earth's eliptical orbit around the
sun.
These two factors cause a cycle of six cold ages followed by a very
cold ice age. What we are talking about in global warming is that
we have shifted the whole waveform up.
As we are coming out of the sixth minor ice age and are about to enter
the next major ice age we should be burning all the fossile fuels we
can lay hands on to stop the next major ice age being so cold.
Well thats one theory anyway.
Anyway, if oil production peaks you won't have to worry about global
warming as the economic activity and CO2 production will fall steeply
enough to act faster than any anti CO2 GWG program could manage.
