Australia passes carbon tax, planet not saved: Clyde Russell - The Economic Times: "SINGAPORE Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard scored a rare, and possibly pyrrhic, victory with the passage of her carbon tax and welfare package.
While this is a big deal Down Under and will occupy radio shock jocks and newspaper commentators for some time, it means very little to ameliorating the impact of climate change.
While Gillard's Labor Party and its allies the Australian Greens will tout the laws that impose a A$23 ($23) a tonne tax on carbon emissions as helping ensure a greener future for future generations, they are being wildly optimistic.
