the late Modern Warm Period. Sunspots are the apparent size of craters on
the moon. The left panel shows a Sun as it appears today. Please write to Al

Coalition wants to wreck new Kyoto: Wong
Stephanie Peatling

April 21, 2009

THE Opposition is trying to derail a new international agreement on global
warming, the Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong, said last night.

She said its lack of support for the emissions trading scheme was tantamount
to destroying Australia's bargaining position at climate change talks to be
held in Copenhagen at the end of the year.

"If Australia falls at this hurdle, we risk being seen as returning to the
years of the Howard government Kyoto sceptics, when we were part of the
problem, not part of the solution," Senator Wong told the Lowy Institute.

"Wrecking this reform is about much more than Australia's domestic political
debate. Wrecking this reform shortens the odds of not getting a global deal
on climate change."

The international negotiations are supposed to work out what countries will
do to fight climate change when the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012.

Many scientists and environmentalists are warning that unless developed and
developing countries agree to tougher measures to lower greenhouse gas
emissions, it may be too late to prevent dangerous levels of climate change.

Senator Wong said the emissions trading scheme represented "an opportunity
to go to Copenhagen with a responsible position".

But she refused to countenance any changes to the scheme, despite lack of
support from industry and environment groups.

The Opposition's climate change spokesman, Greg Hunt, said the speech was a
desperate attempt to find support for the scheme.

"As it stands, the Government's much-maligned emissions trading scheme is
set to wander the corridors of Parliament looking in vain for a friend," Mr
Hunt said.

Oxfam will release a report today showing international aid agencies will be
unable to cope with the number of people affected by climate-related
disasters .
