Australian politicians must become organized, our greenhouse gas pollution is set to double by 2050. The Australian Government Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme ignores advice on the urgent need to stop greenhouse gases; pollution and the need to reduce the atmosphere from carbon dioxide to a safe level. The government ignores the responsibility of greenhouse gas emissions sources that is notably, our rich coal deposits.

There is a cap on trade with the "Emissions Trading Scheme" with atmospheric CO2, above a concentration of 450 parts per million anything above that will kill our Nation Heritage listed Great Barrier Coral Reef. The true cost of coal burning-based power generation is about four to five times the market cost. There is a new Australian Coal Export development, the total domestic and exported CO2 Emissions from fossil burning in millions of tones and is expected to keep climbing as the decades progress.

The Australian Government promised a "sixty percent reduction of domestic pollution by twenty fifty"; an increase of ninety-six percent, CO2 pollution. The people of Australia, are entitled to their own opinion of "The Australian Government's Carbon Pollution Scheme." Green Power and top scientific and economist advice has been ignored on man made climate change and it terrifying effects for generations to come. Laws of the constitution of Australia, state we Australians are entitled to be told the truth not political mumbo jumbo.

Older Australians, are at risk as the Green Paper, is discriminatory towards those that made this country what it is today. With the threat of increased temperatures, because of growth in a continuing carbon based economy. The flaw in the Green Paper lays in its errors in rational risk management principles.

The Australian Federal Government Carbon Pollution Scheme Green Paper is so flawed and if adopted worldwide there would be a catastrophe for the planet. Climate Change would become more predominate than it is today. The greenhouse gases have caused irreversible damage to the Antarctic we have seen proof in the film "An Inconvenient Truth" which is laid out in plain language for us all to understand. Australia is also the main continent that is the closest to the Antarctic. We have seen penguin's population disappear from the globe, fish and krill stocks depleted all over the world.

If the world population would, get together and boycott the Australians who support the green paper set out by the Australian Government we will save the planet for future generations to come. The power of voice, and numbers will win in the end.
