The Carbon Sense Coalition (“Carbon Sense”) has looked in detail at the costs and benefits of
carbon geo-sequestration as a guide to what should be in any legislation establishing property
rights in carbon burial grounds.

In summary our findings are:

· The basis for legislation requiring the burial of carbon dioxide (CO2) rests wholly on
one proposition – that increasing emissions of CO2 from man’s activities will cause
dangerous global warming. This proposition is false.

The Carbon Sense Coalition today accused the big farming lobby groups,
government departments, politicians and Ministers representing agriculture of
ignoring science and abandoning farmers to unjustified carbon taxation.

The chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, claimed that there was no
justification whatsoever for including emissions from farm animals in any carbon
emissions tax scheme.

As independent scientists researching atmospheric and climate problems, we — along with many of our fellow citizens -– are apprehensive about the Climate Treaty conference scheduled for Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997. This gathering of politicians from some 160 signatory nations aims to impose — on citizens of the industrialized nations, but not on others — a system of global environmental regulations that include quotas and punitive taxes on energy fuels.

The Carbon Sense Coalition recommends that all policies on global warming should be based on the science and the evidence, not on unproven computer forecasts or media scare stories. We also submit that markets and private initiatives will achieve better, quicker and cheaper results than government departments, legislative coercion, targeted subsidies, or punitive taxation.

“The climate change debate is forever shifting as science casts long shadows of doubt on the predictions of global catastrophe. The debate gathered a world-wide audience when climate alarmists gained control of the climate science agenda. Its popularisation has given it a political momentum that is proving difficult to halt.”

The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that imposing a Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme was not justified by the science and was likely to be very costly and disruptive to the lives of all Australians.

Responding to the draft Garnaut report, the chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, claimed that it is becoming very clear that carbon dioxide is not a key driver of earth’s temperature, and attempts to reduce man’s emissions of CO2 will do more harm than good.
