Royal Commission into Climate Change

Letter from Steve Fielding;

As you would have heard by now the Australian Parliament voted against
the Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) on
Wednesday of last week.

Whether you agree or disagree with global warming or a CPRS, the fact
is most Australians still have many questions they want answered
before any emissions trading scheme is passed by our Federal
Parliament.

1) Is the science right? (in other words, are we certain that
man-made carbon dioxide emissions are the leading cause of climate
change)

2) What effect will the CPRS have on the Australian economy?
(especially if we commit to targets before the rest of the world and
major economies like China, Russia, India and the USA)

3) What are the costs and the benefits of alternative emissions
trading schemes? (is there a more effective way to achieve emission
reductions than the government’s CPRS)

I have proposed a Royal Commission to investigate the science behind
climate change and whether or not man made carbon dioxide emissions
are responsible, and the Productivity Commission to look into the
economics of an emissions trading scheme or carbon pollution reduction
scheme.

This is the most important piece of legislation to come before
Parliament given its direct impact on every single Australian. We
should be taking the time to get it right.
