Pardon Me For Breathing!

If we did this then the 300 million tonnes of coal we sell to China annually would be taxed before it left Australias shores,and then the Chinese wouldnt buy it. You will notice that coal itself is not taxed. So whats the differance , AGW wise of burning 1 tonne of coal in China to burning 1 tonne of coal in Australia. makes the same amount of CO2 , but the latter attracts a carbon tax, but the fomer doesnt. Just goes to show how deceitful emissions trading is. I like your idea. Graham |
