Coal - The Ultimate Hypocrisy

Climate Common Sense (Australia)
"Australia's carbon tax is aiming to reduce our emissions by 5% by 2020 in the fight against "dangerous global warming" no matter what damage is done to our economy. Australia's direct CO2 emissions in 2008 were 437million tons and probably are similar to that today - say 500 million tons for example. A reduction of 5% in our emissions would be 25 million tons by 2020.
Australia is the largest exporter of coal in the world and in 2008 exported 250 million tons- increasing every year!"
