From The Campaign Trail

Despite dire warnings in the Stern Report (http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/independent_reviews/stern_review_economics_climate_change/stern_review_report.cfm) and despite equally worrying conclusions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (http://www.ipcc.ch) John Howard simply doesn't believe in climate change. In his latest radio address he repeats his cliché: "…. the Liberal and National Parties will always put economic prosperity and jobs ahead of ideology and targets with unknown consequences …." How narrow-minded can you get? Climate change is not ideology - it is real! Greenhouse gas targets are vital, to ensure future economic prosperity. Howard remains stuck in the past, just when Australia needs real economic vision instead of blinkered platitudes.
