The Australian economy if it wasn't for the demand for our commodities from China would have gone into a recession like the rest of the Western world had. Not as bad as the USA experienced but still a recession would have occurred.
I disagree on "we cant do anything about global warming" line. The nations of the world can implement measures which can achieve the cuts in greenhouse emissions we need. However the political will to undertake them. For instance; the carbon tax in Australia should have been supplemented with investment in non green emitting energy and technology. Along with better urban planning and building regulations so that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities can be reduced.
