Your right Karl. It wont have a big impact on the global climate. And neither will raising our co2 emission levels to 200 tons per capita. I think we should get rid of the carbon tax and instead pay people to pollute. After all, it will have no mensurable impact...
Seriously though, it's not a very good argument. China could reduce their emissions by 50% and it would have a mensurable impact on the atmospheric levels in the medium/long term. But China could also split into 100 different countries of 10 million each and then all cry "look, we only have 10 million people in my country, we wont have a measurable effect, don't look to us!"
I know people on here think climate change is some huge scam or what not. But the fact is, assuming it is an actual threat being escalated by rising levels of human emitted greenhouse gasses. Australia should be one of the first countries to act. But we are already way behind countries bigger and smaller than us - who are already trying cutting down their emission levels, or more importantly, stopping the rise in emission levels.
