Sydney Morning Herald: The Australian Greens have endorsed calls by Pacific Island nations for a climate treaty limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, putting further distance between its policies and those of the Turnbull government and the Labor Opposition. The move comes as the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) revealed carbon-dioxide levels reached another annual record in 2014, continuing a "relentless rise", according to its chief Michel Jarraud.

Carbon tax more affordable than GST hike to raise same revenue, say Greens

Guardian: The Australian Greens say a carbon tax would raise as much revenue as increasing the GST rate or broadening its base, while also reducing pollution.

Extending the GST to fresh food, education and healthcare would also raise a similar amount to the original carbon tax, yet households would...

China deal means meltdown time for pro-nuclear 'greens'

Guardian: I wonder what our pro-nuclear greenies will be thinking this week as they listen to President Xi Jinping and George Osborne bombastically declaring a new nuclear dawn for the UK. I hope theyll be feeling as ashamed as they should be. It may be just a little harsh to blame the meltdown in UK energy policy on a handful of well-meaning but monumentally misguided environmentalists, who chose some time ago to lend their voices to the nuclear establishment here in the UK. They were warned that it...
