Coalition's climate policy

Coalition's climate policy would cost vastly more than budgeted, study finds

Modelling commissioned by WWF-Australia says funds set aside to meet emissions targets would fall short by at least $20bn.

Another detailed study has concluded that the Coalition's climate policy will cost vastly more than has been budgeted or else will dramatically fail to meet Australia's emissions reduction targets.

Modelling by Reputex climate analytics, commissioned by the environment group WWF-Australia, found that the money set aside by the Coalition to buy abatement was likely to fall short by $5.9bn a year between 2015 and 2020, or between $20bn and $35bn in total.

The Coalition insists it will provide no more than the money it has allocated to its emissions reduction fund – $2.5bn over the next four years – and, according to figures in the original 2009 policy document, almost $5bn by 2020.

Quotes by single persons, often taken out of context, do not negate the fact that vast majority of scientists agree that humans are responsible for the climate change.  Reducing emissions will not only reduce CO2 but also other pollution, which is only going to be good.  Planting of trees is good too, but Australia is not big enough to plant enough trees to do what TA says it will. 

And YES we cannot allow populations to grow exponentially, but that looks as we have already unwittingly taken care of as male fertility has dropped significantly over the past 50 years.
