Greens propose interim carbon tax

Greens Senator Christine Milne is writing to the Government and the Opposition proposing a carbon price of $20 a tonne.

It's good to see the greens do the clever thing. Copenhagen has shown world agreement is a pipe dream at the moment. Individual countries need their leaders to lead and by the Greens becoming "realistic" and proposing at least a starting point perhaps we can start a process of emmission reduction that is simple and doesn't scare poeple. Small steps are what we need.
