[edit] Fact tags

The last couple of paragraphs have assertions that simply cannot stand as they are - they need citations SatuSuro 10:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Agree relast couple of paras re attitudes of Austrlians so reworked the section. Left one para which needs support. dinghy (talk) 14:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not only a political issue

Foreign policy - Kyoto protocol, an international treaty
Business - See ask Citigroup for their presentation from about 10 businesses released in late May 2008. Brokers are already picking winners and losers
Economic - Stern and Garnaut and CSIRO have all released reports indicating that the economy is likely to be worse of without mitigation
Environmental - CSIRO says the World heritage listed Great Barrier Reef will be largely bleached every year with 2 degrees warming
Scientific - the CSIRO has been doing research for years
It has become a political issue only because the overwhelming (it has convinced 178 states to sign and ratify the Kyoto protocol) scientific evidence is that there will be major changes to climate that will have dramatic effects.
