Disappointed - you bet!

In a previous post, I prepared myself to be disappointed with the Rudd government's leadership on climate change targets. Today they followed through for me, and delivered on that disappointment in spades, with a miserable 5% target for greenhouse gas reduction by 2020.

Most households could match that paltry figure themselves by swapping a few incandescent globes over for fluoros, so coming from the Federal government, this can only be described as an insipid target.

The ABC reports today on sixty green groups who banded together to condemn this feeble policy. Add Wirra Birra to that, and make it 61.

And I don't think the good folk at Carbon Planet were impressed either....
