asked the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, in writing, on 21 March 2011:

Using the first Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenario (A1F1—business as usual), with the exception of Australia being the only country to act on emissions (resulting in a 50 per cent reduction in CO2 by 2050 which is sustained to 2100), (a) how much lower are global average temperatures estimated to be by 2100 than if Australia had not acted, and (b) what is this abatement expected to cost Australia annually.
