Australian Emissions Trading Scheme

A very funny take-off of Kevin Rudd tying to explain the Australian Emissions Trading Scheme can be viewed as video here, or a transcript here.

Also I am sure Frog Blog will love the latest contest between two Australian PR agencies. Last week it was selling the invasion of New Zealand. This week it is selling the benefits of global warming.

The Loud agency goes for the emotions with the plight of a poor bird struggling to survive winter but there is hope if enough fossil fuels are burnt to warm the planet and rejuvenate plant life. Ursa however pushes the plight of the 100,000 homeless and how every mle you drive will help warm up the winter for homeless people.

I voted for Loud.
