After waiting months to hear what Turnbull would put up against the Rudd Government's climate change policies and proposed emissions trading scheme, we now find that he has laboured hard to produce a little gas.
It seems that all that is really needed to save Australia from the ravages of climate change is for the Liberal Party to promise delivery of the near-mythical Clean Coal, a little biochar in the soil, converting a building or two to greater energy efficiency and a few renewable energy odds and sods thrown in for good measure - all leading to a carbon reduction equivalent of 150 million tonnes annually.
That's around 7 million tonnes for every man, woman and child across the nation.
All in the name of 'risk management', because after all (according to many Liberals) there is a chance that human-induced global warming may possibly not exist after all.
As for emissions trading. Well never you mind about that just yet - we haven't prepared a policy response at this time.
If this effort is the best that the Liberal Party can do in 2009 then they are clearly not ready for government.
According to Stock and Land farmers are not too happy with Turnbull either:
While the Nationals are less than enthusiastic with his foray into biosequestration either.
Turnbull's A Green Carbon Initiative is found here.

Your criticisms might have a bit of credibility if you could restrain your offensive asides. As it is, you don't persuasively make your point, but just appear rude.
