The Madness of the ETS - Climate Sceptics Presentation

This is a presentation (see article attachment) from the Climate Sceptics of Australia and provides some thought provoking arguements against the climate change promoters.  I think everyone believes that we should reduce our emissions, but at what cost.  The ETS is a lose/lose situation for agricultural businesses.  We have already enabled Australia to achieve Kyoto targets via the native vegetation laws.  I fear we will be left holding the can for Copenhagan targets as well.
