The ostensible goal of Gillard's cobarn tax is to reduce Australian CO2 emissions by up to 25% by 2020. But even in the unlikely event that this goal could be achieved the reduction in global emissions would still be offset within three months by emissions growth in China alone. The question is therefore whether the policy is even worth salvaging, except arguably as a declaration of intent.
