Nothing will stop the ETS

Except perhaps the Senate, but certainly not the ever-increasing numbers of business groups who are warning Krudd & Co that the ETS will damage Australia's already weakened economy. Rudd and Penny Wong are utterly deaf to their complaints, and will carry on regardless with introducing the ETS in 2010, a completely artificial deadline.

Climate Change Minister Penny Wong rejected yesterday calls from the Australian Industry Group to delay the beginning of the scheme until 2012, saying the Government still intended for it to begin next year.

"The longer we delay in making this economic transformation, the higher the costs."

This is a government that doesn't give two hoots about the economy, and therefore the standard of living of millions of Australians, and slavishly follows the policitised and deeply flawed pronouncements of the IPCC.

Climate madness.
