When it comes to climate change, the very least we can do is to give the planet the benefit of the doubt.

That said, I don't support the carbon tax introduced by the Federal Government, nor do I support the Opposition's 'direct action' plan. Both schemes are inefficient and wasteful and there is a much better way forward.

While I would support the repeal of the current carbon tax, it must be replaced by something more efficient for the economy and more effective for the environment.
