"Most Australians alarmed at climate change," claims the Age:
78% of Australians believe that ratifying Kyoto was just the start, and
that urgent action is required to deal with climate change. Only 5% said
urgent action was not required.
As usual, however, there is a telling difference between what people say
and what people do:
Emissions from coal, gas and petroleum for the first quarter this year
were 25.4 million tonnes, 0.3% up on last year . Petroleum emissions
were up 4%, suggesting motorists were not deterred by rising petrol
prices.
It also suggests that most Australians aren't alarmed at climate change.

"Let me say it plainly: The environmental movement has been taken over
by anti-capitalist radicals who are using it to wage war against
capitalism and campaign for liberal Democrats. Protecting the
environment is now number three, or lower, on their list of priorities."
Joe Bast, President, Heartland Institute, One-time Ardent
Environmentalist, Has seen it from both sides.
