"So, we have the plant growing industry spending money to increase the CO2 atmosphere of their nurserys because it makes plants grow better then in our CO2 deficiant 'natural' environment... and Australia has a muppet government that wants to remove one of the best plant foods around... errr.."

Leaving aside the scientific questionablity of the statement....

Government AND Opposition. They both have the same CO2 reduction targets. (5% less than 2000 levels by 2020 I think). They both will use taxpayer dollars to do it. Just in different ways. Most economists agree that a price is the best way, but then economics is the "dismal science", so take that how you will.

But the point remains, if you disagree with the climate science you'll get no comfort voting Lib/Nat.

Unless you think they are lying. But given the comments about the current Govt lying I am sure nobody here would think that would be acceptable.
