No matter how extreme your green policy, Bob Brown will simply trump it -
and without going to the bother of credibly explaining how he'd do what he
promised and how much it would cost:


Given that the costs of climate change to humanity are ultimately
100%, it doesn't matter how much it costs. Anything less than the
destruction of humanity is an improvement. The money spent will go
into reconfiguring human activities in ways that will serve everyone
in the here and now and even more in the future. There is no downside
to clean air and clean water and foreclosing resource depletion.
Addressing these things creates net benefits.

Instead of a 5 to 15percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020,
Australia must aim now at reducing output by 100percent (building a
zero-emissions economy) by 2050, with reductions of at least 40percent below
1990 levels by 2020.

People actually vote for this bloke.


Because what he says on the matter makes sense.
