High earners will face a temporary 2% tax on income above 180,000 Australian dollars ($168,174), while motorists will be hurt by a plan to unfreeze, and subsequently raise, a fuel levy. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...864155102.html

Daniel Patrick Moynihan Warned Nixon To Act On Global Warming, New Documents Show
There is widespread agreement that carbon dioxide content will rise 25 percent by the year 2000...
"This could increase the average temperature near the earth's surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit," he wrote. "This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter."
