More from Climate Change Advisor Ross Garnaut
This week he urged Australia to lift its focus on retaining natural forests and grasslands in his “targets and trajectories” report, but the Clean Energy Council said his recommended carbon price caps were not high enough and we need much more renewable energy. Here is the link to his report http://www.garnautreview.org.au.
We need much more biosequestration to soak up carbon emissions particularly given its potential to reduce the impact on industry of the Government’s carbon reduction measures.
My personal feeling is that his recommended 10% target is ridiculously low. We really need a 40% reduction target but I felt that a 20% one was a least a compromise between the needs of our children and grandchildren and the needs of business. Yes I did put the kids first!
