Everyone acknowledges that Ms Wong and Mr Rudd’s ETS is not going to change the climate.
Neither Professor Ross Garnaut nor UN Climate Chief Yvo de Boer or any scientists of any consequence or credibility believe that this will do anything at all to change the climate; in fact Mr de Boer says it won’t even change the politics at work, so it’s just a gesture.
Mr Rudd, well practiced in gestures, may want to have a yarn to the indigenous community in Australia who might suggest to him that if he wants to do something that has limited effect because you do not follow it up, but it looks good on television, then perhaps he should just apologise to the climate.
