Australian news #1:Abbott says no to carbon price
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/18/2957035.htm?section=justin
Abbott is the leader of federal opposition coalition in Australia. He declared that there will be no carbon pricing being imposed on Australians if his coalition wins over the Government. His argument was that it was impossible for India and China which were now emphasising more on improving living standards to comply with international agreement on carbon pricing. It is because to live a better life in the nations with overwhelming population requires extensive use of energy. Nevertheless, The Greens labelled Abbott as being ignorant regarding carbon pricing. The Senator also iterated that Australians want carbon pricing.
