The debate on global warming and "green economics" has thankfully come under the spotlight with the upcoming Federal Election.

The Labour opposition, specifically leader Kevin Rudd, continues to "bag" the current Prime Minister (John Howard) for his lack of action in this area. But for all the grandstanding Rudd fails to deliver any firm policy in support of this debate.

If the voting public took global warming and it's effects on future generations as a serious issue - and so they should be - the policies presented by the major parties should determine the result of this election.

Meanwhile, the only action at the State level (in Queensland) is increased competition in the private sector for reducing the cost of coal generated electricity. Is this really the answer?

Time for action.....
