Australia: Why we're the most gullible nation on Earth

LIVENEWS.com.au > Opinion > Why we're the most gullible nation on Earth
The more I hear about the federal government’s love affair with carbon emissions trading (and I shiver when I even think of this topic) the more I reckon, we are the most gullible nation in the entire world.

This carbon trading concept is complicated and rortable; how easy will it be to inaccurately calculate carbon emissions which - given financial repercussions - will cause all sorts of drama.

But, actually, forget all of that. Maybe we can establish a foolproof system, which we can all follow, but the main reason I say that we’re gullible is that the real polluters, the nations whose cities are black on sunny days, are India and China.
