Vision 2020? Blinkers 2007!

On May 4 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will deliver a report called Mitigation of Climate Change. Previous IPCC reports reveal that unchecked climate change will destroy both national and global economic growth, and disproportionately impact on poor countries and poor people. Those who have contributed least to global warming will suffer the most. In John Howard's so-called Vision 2020 speech he says " ... to say that climate change is the overwhelming moral challenge for this generation of Australians is misguided at best and misleading at worst ... It feeds ideological demands for knee-jerk policy reactions that would destroy jobs and the living standards of ordinary Australians ..." Howard and his government don't have any vision! Their inaction is leaving a nightmare for our kids and future generations.
