Australia prepares for new climate change report
Updated
The Australian government's climate change advisor will release more economic modelling on emissions trading tomorrow. As Professor Ross Garnaut puts the finishing touches on his report, the government's been warned that the community welfare sector and local governments will need more than $US2 billion in compensation to offset the impact of an emissions trading scheme. There's also pressure on the government to drop any idea of a "soft start" on cutting carbon pollution.
Presenter: Alexandra Kirk
Speakers: Dr Richard Dennis, Australia Institute; Dr Graeme Pearman, a former head of CSIRO's Atmospheric Research department
