White Australian climate criminals
YES, the Australian economy IS strong (despite record-breaking drought) because of mineral exports. However Australia is the world's biggest coal exporter and one of the world's WORST CO2 polluters - but still won't sign Kyoto or constrain greenhouse gas pollution. 
 
Thus Australia's economic boom comes at the EXPENSE of the poorest people on the planet, the Bangladeshis, Africans, Pacific islanders and South Asians acutely threatened by global warming by Australia and its ally the US (the world's worst greenhouse polluter). 
 
YET BOTH the major parties in Australia (the extreme right wing, Bush-ite Coalition Government and the right wing Labor Opposition) are committed to the Australian COAL INDUSTRY and hence to climate criminality and to Climate Genocide. 
 
Data from the official US Energy Information Administration (EIA) on oil-, gas- and coal-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution indicates that the total annual CO2 pollution from oil, gas and coal is 27,043 million tonnes. For a world population of 6,450 million (2005) this corresponds to an annual per capita CO2 production of 4.2 tonnes per person per year. For Australia the annual per capita CO2 production from fossil fuels is 19.2 tonnes but Australia is also the world’s biggest coal exporter. If we include the CO2 from Australian coal exports in the picture, then the figure becomes 40.3 tonnes per person for Australia as compared to 20 (the US), 20 (Canada), China (3.7) 1.0 (India), 0.7 (Pakistan) and 0.25 (Bangladesh). In 2006 an Indian (West Bengal) island -Lohachara Island - that was once home to 10,000 people finally disappeared.  
 
YET, while the ALP Opposition is "greener" than the Coalition, it is resolutely committed to Coal (Australia is the biggest Coal exporter in the world) i.e. locking Australia in as a nation of selfish, politically correct racist (PC racist) Climate Criminals imposing Climate Genocide on deltaic Third World and Developing countries such as Bangladesh. 
 
And of course the lying, racist, holocaust-ignoring Mainstream media (including the disgusting and PC racist media of the former Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch) won't report it - but MWC News WILL.
