Mark Latham spots the frauds:
LAST month, Newspoll claimed that a clear majority of Australians not
only supported an emissions trading scheme (88 per cent) but were
prepared to pay higher energy bills to make the scheme work (58 per
cent). The statistics for green electricity accounts, home energy
conversions, green car purchases and food self-sufficiency show that no
more than 10 per cent of Australians have tried to reduce their carbon
footprint. So what happened to the other 48 per cent in the Newspoll
survey who said they were willing to put their money where their mouth
is?
And a nice ping of one of the climate preachers:
Hugh Mackay has argued that Australians are ready to embrace an
"imaginative, even drastic" approach to greenhouse abatement. This
involves halving daily car usage; banning people aged under 26 from
driving, limiting air travel to special cases, and walking to the shops.
Whoever Mackay includes in his polling, they cannot be residents of
Australia>s car-dependent suburbs. They would regard his agenda as some
kind of wacky eco-fascist prank. It>s a long walk from Struggle Street
to the shopping mall, an even longer walk home humping a flat-screen
television on your back.
