Ford fears ETS will drive jobs out of Australia | The Australian

FORD Australia has warned that the Government's emissions trading scheme could add millions of dollars a year to its costs and threaten jobs, six months after Canberra pledged $6.2 billion to rescue the local auto industry.

The carmaker's entry into the politically charged debate over the timing and shape of the Government's response to climate change comes amid intense lobbying for a review of next year's start date for the scheme.

BlueScope, OneSteel, Rio Tinto, Alcoa, Chevron, Woodside Energy and Visy have long pushed for changes or delays to the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, citing its impact on jobs at a time of economic crisis.

ISS - POWER POLITICS: Satyagraha for the climate

Climate activists are borrowing yet another Gandhian tactic and launching a fast today calling attention to the need for the U.S. and other industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25 to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 -- a target set at a 2007 United Nations climate conference in order to avoid catastrophic climate disruption. The organizers of the action -- called Fasting for Our Future -- are affiliated with groups including the Climate Crisis Coalition, Indigenous Environmental Network, Religious Witness for the Earth, and Alliance for Appalachia.

Here is organizer Ted Glick's explanation for why they're fasting:

Fasting is a simple yet profound way of combining the spiritual and the political. Mahatma Gandhi, the most famous nonviolent revolutionary of the 20th century, called it "the sincerest form of prayer." It communicates seriousness and urgency without violence, thereby making it easier for those who hear about a fast to think about the issues of the fast; it focuses peoples' attention.

Dec '06: U.S. Climate Emergency Council - Ted Glick's Sentencing Statement

My name is Ted Glick. I live in Bloomfield, N.J. I am 57 years old. I work as the National Coordinator of the U.S. Climate Emergency Council.

On October 23rd I climbed a ladder up to a ledge overlooking an entrance to NOAA at 1305 East West Highway in Silver Spring. Paul Burman and I hung a banner from the window over that ledge which said, “Bush: Let NOAA Tell the Truth!”
...
Given the scientific consensus, even within the Bush Administration, that global warming is happening and the growing scientific evidence that it is, indeed, accelerating at a dangerous rate, I felt called upon to express my deeply-felt beliefs in a more noticeable manner. Nonviolent and peaceful but more noticeable.
