Telstra’s environment expert dismisses Rudd’s climate change targets

In a blog post yesterday, Telstra’s Group Manager Dr Turlough Guerin wrote:

These are very conservative targets and unlikely to encourage the investments needed to transition to a low-carbon economy. And they don’t push consumers far enough to make the behaviour changes to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.

This is the crux of the matter, the extent to which behaviour changes. The Government claims it will, but few people (including one of the country’s biggest corporations) begs to differ.
