I don't know, they'll probably screw up something. I think there's a loophole that might reward clear-cutting.

I consider the paper fatally flawed as it now stands, and thus I recommend it be removed from publication consideration by JGR..."<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what happens by way of Conservative efforts to reverse this progress.<br /><br /><br />Bernard J.

If only we had started this in the early 90s!<br /><br />As an Australian I was very happy Australia's version just passed the lower house - should pass the upper in Novemeber - and will start July 1.<br /><br />This vindicates the Australian Greens decision to block it early in 2010. The new legislation is far stronger and starts on the same date.<br /><br /><br />Good news alround<br /><br />NathanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
