Hot or cold on climate change? -  (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The issue of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) has caused world wide consternation and fear that our use of carbon based energy sources is contributing to an increase in mean temperatures, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and a loss of biodiversity.

Experts are still divided, so on the Morning program we will present both sides of the debate in order for you to be able to make up your own mind.

Throughout the process we would like your comments, questions or opinions.

A Tim Flannery prediction from 2008:

American Thinker: California's expensive policy for increasing CO2 emissions

In April, California adopted a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Since then, Governor Schwarzenegger has been marketing the policy to other states and even Canada. (Both British Columbia and Ontario have agreed to adopt the standard). Until recently, a LCFS was an element of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) but was dropped after it became clear that the standard would sink the bill. That's good news -- for now -- since the policy will, at best, be much more expensive and less effective than a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade scheme, and, at worst, increase global CO2 emissions.
