 Some people will hate me for this, but if it saves the whole world I don't really care.
Here in Australia, there is already precedent for adding extra functions to licence and rates payments to offset functions such as ambulance and emergency services.
This could be done equitably by spreading these payments over 3 to 5 years period.
This same structure could be used to make Australia the greenest nation in the world in a very short period of time. Simply by planting trees in our own country and providing extra employment.
We would probably spread these payments, as well as the plantings, over a 3 to 5 year period. This would provide a fast INTERIM solution to the climate change problem, while we continue to bring renewable energy resources into play. |
