Thanks for this article Mike. Siri is very interesting. Will have to see how she performs once she gets her passport and gets better integrated into our Australian society…

Comment on The Carbon Tax Debate by Mike H

With the US economy in the doldrums, and likely to remain for some time so unless the GOP suddenly becomes full of Keynesian economic theorists after 2012, China is being forced to boost domestic demand. By 2017, China will be a lot less dependent on exports to the US than they currently are.

Furthermore, there are already signs that China is actually competing with the US for manufacturing jobs – this will be plainly obvious by 2017. If US manufacturing is artificially cheap because of their failure to implement a Carbon price, and if the US stalls any WTO action initiated by China, don’t you think China would favour trade deals with more reasonable countries?

“it’s a brilliant tactical move to get our Carbon price in place now, so that when 2017 rolls along and China starts throwing the WTO’s weight around, our Carbon Trading Scheme will be well established and smoothly running.”

Only trouble is that China relys on US exports to survive not Ozzies, so China will not be throwing the WTOs weight around as much as you hope and dream. And also the USA is notorious for apealing WTO rulings and stalling them for years and years. So good luck to you Australia, hope it all works out for you. We will buy our coal from whomever is the cheapest, and if the price of Ozzie coal is increased due to your carbon tax, we will find new sources thereby creating new coal jobs in other countries. I suppose since the Ozzie carbon tax is the reason for this, perhaps these are the much vaunted new green jobs, green coal mining jobs that is.

cheers…

Comment on How a Carbon Tax Works by Mike H

That’s it in a nutshell. Whether you have a tax on Carbon, or an Emissions Trading Scheme, carbon pollution gets reduced in the cheapest way possible. The people who change their behaviour are those who have the least to lose….. All without the government deciding for us who that “ought” to be.

Is that really all there is to it because that’d be flabbergasting.

Actually…. An urn is part of a capsule of a moss plant (http://www.backyardnature.net/mosses.htm) that could indeed be used by a worm as a covering (well it IS possible). Now of course I am super-impressed that your 4yo would know this.
