Pete please sit back and watch as your "we're all doomed - doomed I say" fetish gets dumped on the same pile as every other doomsayer scenario going all the way back to when we lived in caves and were afraid of the dark.
The world can no longer afford this left/greeny imposed self flagellation - even if it was a real problem which it is NOT. The world may well net warm a little over the next 100 years and there will be cooling phases too...just like the 20th century and every century before that.
There are only two possible scenarios facing Labor/Greens - a bit of a drubbing at the next federal election or total political annihilation for a generation or two. The Greens will be wiped out for ever even if it takes a double dissolution.
In either case LNP will be in power - they will dump the carbon dioxide tax AND their own silly policy AND will do what 'Can Do' is doing in QLD - dismantling the left/greeny bureaucracy.
Howard lost govt because after 12 years he took that one ideological step to the right too far for the Australian people. Krudd was just pure incompetence and Brown/Gilliard were trying to drag the Australian people 4 steps too far to the left right out of the gate - Milne is just out of her tree, looney tunes far left.
The Australian people are VERY angry.
Bank on it.
