I hear you guys aren’t signing the Kyoto Protocol now, your PM found out the damaging effects it would do to your economy.

Sorry to inform you Paul, but Australia is largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions on a per capita basis, although our population is small we have very inefficient industrial methods. Also, Australia’s presence in Iraq is proportional to our population and the size of our army. If you are implying that we should have even one tenth the number of troops that the US has in Iraq then you are sadly misguided. Lastly, it is widely agreed upon in the scientific community that human activities, known as anthropogenic factors, have impacted upon carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, which may have led to global warming. I think you need to get your facts straight before commenting on issues in Australia that you clearly have no grasp of.

He is actually economically conservative and fairly moderate. Things are alot different here than over there. Thankfully here far right are a very small but vocal group.

Sad day today. Australia elects far left politician.

Two major issues you Aussies voted on: Iraq and Global Warming. First off, Australia’s presence in Iraq is very small, next to nothing compared to what the U.S. has. So no big deal there, although it is sad to see you guys leave. Second, the Kyoto Protocol, as if signing it and following it is going to stop the earth from warming. Anyone who believes signing the protocol will stop global warming is a fool. Men can’t stop it. If you’re worried about pollution, maybe someone should worry about China and India, they pollute far more than any other country.

Just thought I’d give my thoughts on Australia!
