The Australian government have passed a carbon tax law.
On the face of it that should be good news but there has to be somebody making money somewhere and my natural pessimism kicks in.
I hope it will reduce emissions but can't help but feel it will just mean someboy somewhere getting richer.
On a local note, a program from the BBC on Sunday night entitled Will It Snow? carried an interview with someone from the Met Office who suggested a milder wet winter. A guy from a major supermarket chain said they were told snow in late November. Who to believe? Scientists who got it wrong 2 years on the trot or a guy who'se profits depend on accurate weather.
Looking out my thermals!
