Global Climate Change Action

Greens climate change proposal

The Greens are putting forward a constructive proposal to get Australia moving through the quagmire that currently exists on government climate change policy. At last, we have something on the table that is do-able and easy to comprehend and digest for Mr & Mrs Average.

The Greens propose a two year carbon price of $23 a tonne to the top 1000 polluters. This would provide a $5 billion dividend for households and further revenue to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other emissions reducing options. This proposal will create a surplus rather than deficit in the first two years.

I am urging the ALP to support the Greens climate change proposal immediately and move on it quickly with a start date of July 1, 2010.
