The Australian lower house of parliament has just voted into a law a carbon tax scheme. Australia is currently the biggest exporter of coal and one of the biggest per capita polluters of greenhouse gases. The law will tax the 500 biggest polluters for every tonne of carbon dioxide they release into the atmosphere. Polluters will have to be $23 Australian dollars per tonne of pollution.
