CO2 is a Greenhouse Gas

No atmosphere – 30 degrees colderCO2 contributes 6 degrees

- Historical levels = 250 ppm

- Current levels = 390 ppm (+3 degrees)

- Projected 2050 = 550 ppm (+6 degrees)

It is much more complex, but all badThe full effect of current levels is still coming

Positive feedback – Runaway changesAs Arctic Ice melts – absorbs more heatAs Greenland Ice sheet melts - slips into the seaArctic Tundra melts – releases methane

Bottom Line – We have no idea what we are

doing

A Cap and Trade System

Prices rise, people reduce usage

Prices rise, renewable power becomes viableA Tax is equivalent to Cap & Trade

$20 a Tonne (6 cents a litre) nothing happens$100 a Tonne (30 cents a litre) things happen

- Tax sets cost, Market sets Usage

- Cap & Trade sets usage, Market sets cost

CPRS earns $8 billion a year ($20/tonne)Could give it all to people ($400 each)50% to people

40% to Business

10% to mitigation

- Compensation to Power Companies

- Payments to Trade Exposed Industries

- Rebate on Petrol

- Payments to disadvantaged

At best , it delivers 70% reductions in emissionsAt least 15 years away

Not feasible under $40 a tonne

In 30 years time, 70% will not be good enoughA stop gap measure. Can dig coal for another 10 years

Better spent on renewables

Limited to Gas/Oil/Coal

Agriculture/Forestry excluded

Agriculture half in

Stops Personal Endeavour

Locks in Mediocrity

Based on Politically Acceptability, not ScienceRequires International Agreement

Page 9: Who am I? Why am I here? What will I talk about? - The science of Climate Change - The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) - The Solution Green Loans

Will not guarantee reductions

Cannot deliver beyond 5%

Sets no long term direction

Agricultural savings difficult to measureNo incentive to reduce petrol/electricity/gas

Global Agreement difficult to achieve

CPRS of limited value

Book By David Spratt

Declare “Code Red”

Consider Pearl Harbour

25%/50% morally indefensible
