While last week the best minds in climate science were gathering in Copenhagen, the previous week the finest minds in climate scepticism gathered in New York, writes Bernard Keane.
Tackling climate change
The ETS is a dog. It will never pass
The ETS will not establish incentives to reduce emissions and will not drive any transition to low-carbon industries and the jobs that will emerge from them, writes Bernard Keane.
Copenhagen’s climate message: the worst case confirmed
The role of climate scientists in explaining the implications of non-decision is critical, writes Andrew Glikson.
Milne: Nobody wants a Ferrari ETS, Minister
Minister Wong, nobody wants a Ferrari ETS! We don’t want something that is flash and fancy but gas guzzling, expensive and out of reach, writes Christine Milne.
Get Up! going nowhere on climate
Is GetUp! more intent on cultivating its membership base by appealing to green symbolism than forcing the Government to get serious about global warming, asks Clive Hamilton?
Global warming is a global emergency
In the face of catastrophic risk, emission reduction targets should be based on the latest, considered, science, not on a political view of the art-of-the-possible, writes Ian Dunlop.
Greenies of the world unite
Greenpeace’s Steve Campbell delivers a climate change action call to arms.
Deconstructing Turnbull’s green near-miracle
Some of what Turnbull proposed won’t go down that well with the Nationals but he thinks he is on a winner with biochar, writes Bernard Keane.
Mungo: Malcolm’s climate change miracle
Malcolm Turnbull’s strategy is about managing the political risk, not the risk of climate change, writes Mungo MacCallum.
Leading climate scientists call for an emergency “Plan B”
The time for ‘business as usual’ is nearly over, writes Andrew Glikson.
Garnaut’s target so low, the sea level will rise above it in a year
In Garnaut’s view Australia is too late to avoid “substantial impacts” which will, as he said in his dry economist’s tone, require “major adaptation”, writes Bernard Keane.
Crunch time on carbon credibility
The Garnaut target is out of whack with the global climate realpolitik, writes John Connor.
A new age for the Reserve – and budget-making, too
The Fed does it. Crikey has been pushing for it for years. And now the RBA has issued the minutes of its last Board meeting. We now get to see at least some of the deliberations behind its decision making – we now get much greater transparency – but that’s not all, writes Christian Kerr.
