More power to him, but hot air not enough Bob Carr's rhetoric on global warming isn't matched by actions, argues Genia McCaffery. AS AN elected public official, I know only too well how hard it can be for our actions to match our rhetoric.

But I am at a loss to explain what is going on with the State Government when it comes to its handling of global warming. The recent words of the Premier, Bob Carr, and the action of his administration are the stuff of nonsense. That would indeed be hard to fathom. In mid-January, in one of his new millennium musings in the Herald , the Premier wrote with some passion about how he had become convinced global warming due to the greenhouse effect was real. He seemed genuinely concerned.
