Hopeless analogy. If everyone paid 5% more or less tax would it make a difference to the federal budget? Yes clearly.
You really cant grasp this.

Australia's carbon tax / ETS would be acting unilaterally. There is no working international system linking the big players like Japan, Russia and China
Signing the agreement matters not a jot, its signing up to binding emission cuts that does.
And if everyone, and every country, did there bit to reduce the effects of Climate Change?
Which would be what they signed up to do, when they signed the Paris Agreement...
Which part of this do you not understand? Australia is acting in concert with 150+ other countries, it is not acting unilaterally.
No they didnt. And yes a carbon tax would be. China and the US and Russia wont sign up to binding emission cuts

Lack of binding enforcement mechanism
Although the agreement was lauded by many, including French President François Hollande and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,[68] criticism has also surfaced. For example, James Hansen, a former NASA scientist and a climate change expert, voiced anger that most of the agreement consists of "promises" or aims and not firm commitments.[88] He called the Paris talks a fraud with 'no action, just promises' and feels that only an across the board tax on CO2 emissions, something not part of the Paris Agreement, would force CO2 emissions down fast enough to avoid the worst effects of global warming.[88]

China will not agree any form of binding target to reduce its soaring greenhouse gas emissions as part of a new international deal on climate change, a senior official confirmed yesterday.
Nah
That’s not what the science tells us.
It’s precisely what Andrew Bolt tells you to think.
You good mindless drone you.
I think you almost get it

Emissions should not be a focus.
Environmental policy should be in our national interest.
Reducing plastic and waste.
Emission policies are nonsense and as pointed out, won’t stop the arctic melting no matter how many wind farms we build.

The ALP 51% leads the L-NP 49% on a two party preferred basis according to a face-to-face Roy Morgan Poll conducted on the Easter weekend of April 20/21, 2019 with a cross-section of 707 electors.
The tight result at Easter means the Roy Morgan Poll has swung by 1.5% to the L-NP since the prior surveying period of April 6/7 & 13/14, 2019.
Primary Voting Intention
The L-NP now has a primary vote of 39% (up 1.5%) and clearly ahead of the ALP on 35.5% (down 1%) while Greens support is down 1.5% to 9.5%.
Support for One Nation is up 1% to 4.5% while support for Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party is up 0.5% to 2%. Support for Independents/Others is now 9.5% (down 0.5%).
Roy Morgan Government Confidence
Roy Morgan Government Confidence has improved this week with 40% of electors saying Australia is now heading in the right direction, up 1% from a week earlier while 41% (down 1.5%) say Australia is heading in the wrong direction.
These results leave Government Confidence below the neutral level of 100 and indicate the ALP is still the favourite to win with early voting opening next week although the L-NP has closed the gap significantly during the last week.

For a second there I thought he’d gone off topic with that poll in this thread.
Volatility reminds me of Ipsos polls, plus the small sample size brings into question this poll's reliability.
That said, polls do often tighten during election campaigns before going one way or the other on election eve.

They said the pre polling for vic state election followed the most optimistic polls for the Libs .
But then bam, on the day a pitchforking for the Libs. Not so much the nats

I seriously can’t believe it’s this close , that’s what it was 2016 , Lab leading by 2% in the polls and they lost , worrying signs for them I think . LNP should be like 6-10% behind with there * ups over the years.
The polls throughout the 2016 election campaign hovered around 50-50 from memory.

If 2016 was a surprise result it was due to Liberals doing so poorly if anything
From what I saw the polls did improve for Turnbull during the campaign (but still averaged around 50-50), but his party finished slightly below the final percentage predictions.
I don’t believe for a minute Bill will lose, but if he did, he’d forever be tarnished for the fact we will have 3 more years of a terrible govenment

Support for action on climate change cuts across all electoral demographics. Keep repeating your mantra but the facts say otherwise and facts are what reality-based voters (the majority, don’t forget) prefer to deal in.

Climate Change ranks number 4 of the highest 10 issues for ALL voters at this election
Climate Change is as mainstream as Health, The Economy and Education, yet still we have the Flat Earthers trying to deny it....they will get there collective arses kicked and then wonder why their arse hurts
