Sydney: Mums and dads allegedly believe in the global warming hoax, just not strongly enough to cough up any actual cash in an attempt to save their grandchildren from fiery floods

Why the carbon tax terrifies families, especially in western Sydney | thetelegraph.com.au

Western Sydney isn't stupid or uneducated. Mums and dads are firm believers in climate change and, just like inner-city greenies, are worried for their kids' futures.

But they would also rather spend money on their children's educations to create a better future, than see it vanish into a carbon tax money pit.

Climate change and a carbon tax aren't intellectual debates for most Sydney families.

They can't afford the luxury of taking the moral high ground and declaring they want to make a sacrifice for their children's children and the future of the planet.

Sydney families simply cannot afford more price rises on food and petrol and electricity - the three things a carbon tax will hit hardest. They have nothing more to give.
