Turnbull won't rule out carbon trading
MALCOLM Turnbull has left open the option of Australia embracing carbon trading in comments made immediately after the high-profile Sydney MP was elevated into federal cabinet.
The new Minister for Environment and Water was widely tipped for promotion, with John Howard nominating the millionaire former banker as one of the Government's best two performers of the past year.
Mr Turnbull nominated water as the 'biggest' aspect of his portfolio.
'For most people, (water is) the manifestation of climate change,' he told The Australian. "
Excessive clearing
AUSTRALIA may not reach its greenhouse gas emission targets because Queensland has lost too many trees, a new report says.
The Australia Institute says Queensland Government estimates of land clearing between 1990 and 2001 are about 50 per cent higher than Federal Government estimates.
'If the Queensland Government figures are correct, Australia's total greenhouse emissions may be well above the Kyoto target,' says institute deputy director Andrew Macintosh."
