What a staggering list of whoppers this Garnaut guy has been fed.
If the temperature is predicted to steadily climb with CO2 output then why isn't it?

Northern hemisphere - cooling
Southern hemisphere - cooling (no heating to start with here actually)
Funny how our temperatures seem to instead match the suns activity. Rather basic really.
This report is economic lunacy for australia, turns out even Garnaut is having doubts about these weather predictions he had been fed....
OK, so let's suspend reality for a moment and pretend these wild climatic predictions are true. Australia produces around 1.3% of the worlds CO2 and Garnauts scheme might drop our CO2 production by 15% or 20% at the most?? either way not within cooee of Rudds 60%.
So our economic pain - job loss, industry closure - results in a temperature reduction of perhaps 0.01 degree Celsius.
Not even measurable. Australia doing this ETS alone is unhinged, China and India certainly won't be following suit coz they simply aren't that stupid.
