'Get serious' on greenhouse gas :
A MECHANISM for pricing carbon emissions was urgently needed if Australia was to get serious about climate change, a powerful new business lobby claimed yesterday.
The Australian Business Roundtable on Climate Change yesterday called on the Federal Government to deliver a 'long, loud and legal' framework to establish a carbon-price signal to put a value on greenhouse gases (GHG).
The Roundtable, made up of the chief executives of six multibillion-dollar companies, said Australia could no longer push a response on GHG into the distant future. "

NZers need to be encouraged into more efficient cars
New Zealand shouldn't have to wait until petrol prices hit $4 a litre before being encouraged to buy fuel efficient cars.
That's the view of the New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development, which would like to see the government offer cash grants of up to $3000 for new fuel efficient-low emission cars and up to $1000 for imported cars. "

Book exposes Government forestry industry mess
National MP Nick Smith today launched a new book, 'The Great Wood Robbery? Political Bumbling Ruins NZ Forestry,' authored by Dr Lindsay Poole, Hamish Levack and Julian Bateson, at the Royal Society in Wellington.
Dr Smith says the book highlights the level of frustration and anger among forest professionals over Government policy.
'It tells a sorry story of an industry that has gone from creating jobs and providing enormous environmental benefits to New Zealand to one that has lost investor confidence and is going backwards.
'Labour's daft Kyoto policies are contributing to a collapse in new plantings and to deforestation. "
