Keep it up SMH....somethings gotta give...

Today Julia Baird of the SMH wrote "THE debate is over. We know the science. We see the threat posed by changes in our climate. And we know the time for action is now." That was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Last year. You know the climate change debate has changed radically when it is being championed by the man whose steroid-riddled body portrayed post-apocalyptic robots in the Terminator films.

And now, the man who refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, John Howard, has suddenly emerged as an advocate of drastic action to stop the overheating of the Earth.

She carries on to say....

What we need to do is get serious about our entire environmental strategy, radically rethink our approach to energy and correct the years of denial and neglect by our governments. We need to implement all those other suggestions green groups have been promoting for decades: renewable energy sources, solar energy, that unsigned protocol, carbon taxes and credits, energy efficiency and investing in wind, solar, geothermal and biomass energy like ethanol.

For whatever reason the Howard government is suddenly waking up about climate change, at least they are waking up!!!
