Going After Oz

Australian blogger Tim Blair points out a politically correct use of statistics in the global warming debate:

China produces about
14.5% of the planet’s alleged global warming emissions. Australia produces only 1.6%. Which leads the Sydney Morning Herald’s Mary-Anne Toy to ask:
Is it fair to expect China to cut carbon emissions, which per capita are a tiny fraction of Australia’s?


Well, it depends; are you opposed to carbon emissions, or opposed to Australia?
