Hi Ian

Avoiding a taxation approach is one reason for emissions trading - the more 
important one being to provide an international system for setting a market 
price for carbon.

This was a key point of the Kyoto protocol of 1997 which unfortunately both 
major political parties chose not to highlight in the wasted years while 
Australia held up its coming into force.

The carbon issue has been known for over 30 years and no mystical reference to 
"cycles" refutes the evidence.

OK where you live you will probably suffer most from tropical storms - and 
probably a whole suite of New Guinea birds moving south to become Australian 
ticks.  If "we" take action now there may be fewer ticks than might have become 
possible.
