We have a lot to learn!

The Financial Times on 12 July editorialised on Australia's move to price carbon and establish an Emissions Trading Scheme. 


"Australians are known for many things, but conspicuous concern for global climate change is not one of them'.  It goes on....Julia Gillard's policy is only a half measure, "but it demonstrates that Australia can have fits of enlightenment - of which one hopes for more".

It concludes with "And if it can pass in Australia, it raises hopes for other climate-indifferent countries". A leader yes but of the unenlightened no less!
