Not the least interesting thing about this is the shifting role of Professor Garnaut. He was brought onto the carbon train before the election to demonstrate Kevin Rudd's passionate commitment to fighting greenhouse emissions.

Before long, the Prime Minister will be able to position himself as the moderate and talk about saving us, not from climate change, but from Garnaut.
