Equivalent of stopping 1 person from pissing in the ocean. Doesn't have any significant global impact until the majority polluting countries like China, India and the USA do something significant

Not at all what I was stating. Research the percentage Australia contributes globally compared to the dozens of other countries. I'm stating we can become a greenie utopia it won't count for squat in a global problem

Why would China commit if we don't?

What makes you think China would be influenced by anything Australia does? China announced its own climate objectives a couple of years back

Aus is one of the biggest actually pretty high up there (but that only counts due to the amount of coal and what not we export)

Which as I stated it is nothing in comparison to 100 of billions that are produced by USA China, Russia India etc. Australia is only higher because of its reliance of coal as an energy source and an export product. And Australia isn't in the top 10 and none of it matters globally until the big industrial nations do something.

Your argument is like saying Australia is up there in term of population but our 27 million people is minuscule compared to the billions and billions elsewhere.

And back to my original point. Good on Australia for doing this but until the whole world does something it's ineffective. What's Australia going to do put it self in a giant bubble.

Throw in Germany... first to complain and last to lead by example. Their green policy basically exist to stomp competition.
