Minister, in your government's defence on the climate case it said that every 7,000 gigatons of emissions would increase the temperature of the globe by only 0.63 degrees Celsius. On your numbers, even if Australia were to emit zero emissions from now to 2050, the temperature of the globe would change by just 0.000000768 degrees Celsius. Why are we imposing $270,000 on every Australian for, in effect, no impact on climate change? What about China? They are much bigger emitters than we are. (Time expired)
