Most of my disposable income is spent in so called third world countries or in towns near wilderness areas in australia. Guilt can tear one apart if it's not rationalised in some way.

I just hope that the new Oz gov't also decides to put some serious action behind their "yes we'll do something about climate change" talk. I think we sometimes get away with things because we're so far away from "the rest of the world", so to speak. Fingers crossed! Quite right, Mike, signing is definitely the best thing.

Once we step beyond that, the big question is: is it the right thing to sign on? If yes, then nothing else matters. I thought you might have something to say. =)

If yes, then nothing else matters.

We'll have to wait and see.
