Even with their sleek new superboat in the water, hundreds of whales will die as a result of Japanese whaling."

...like Canada and Saudi Arabia, a great majority of countries are determined to make Copenhagen a success," said WWF-Australia CEO Greg Bourne. "Australia's credibility in negotiating a deal at Copenhagen will be greatly increased if we have an environmentally effective emissions trading scheme in place. "Taking action domestically has always put Australia in a stronger international negotiating position to achieve the best outcome. Reducing tariffs for example has strengthened our trade negotiations. Climate change is no different. "The danger for the Australian Government is in browning-down the CPRS by providing further handouts to polluters. This would inevitably mean we will struggle to reach the emissions reductions needed to make a significant contribution to solving the problem of climate change. "Responsible companies are still desperate for the Parliament to provide certainty, and those that embrace the necessary change will profit enormously. The dinosaurs of big polluting businesses need to step out of the way. "It s time parliamentarians stopped listening to self-interested industry lobbyists who represent a minority of companies, and did what is best for all Australians, and our planet," concluded Mr Bourne."
