Australians named as world's worst polluters

Each one of us should be seriously concerned about this - and putting pressure on our Governments to act - now.

It's a tragedy of inaction on the part of the Howard Government over an extended period of time. Here is a small sample of the report.

"Each Australian produces nearly 11 tonnes of CO2 power sector emissions, the United States follows on nine tonnes per person, while Britain is ranked ninth at 3.5 tonnes and China - heavily criticised by the international community for its rapid development of coal-fired power stations - produces only two tonnes a year per person. Indians emit about half a tonne of CO2 per person."
