AUSTRALIA REJECTS CLIMATE REPORT, KOALAS REMAIN STRANGELY SILENT (and sexy)

Australia said on Tuesday it would not let down workers and accept a hard-hitting British report on climate change as critics branded the country an environmental "renegade".

Australia, which along with the U.S. has refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol cutting Greenhouse gases, said solutions to global warming were doomed without the world's biggest Greenhouse producers: China, the U.S. and India.

I take back everything I have ever said about Australia. It is now officially my favorite country in the world (note to researchers: please verify that Australia is indeed a country, and not a territory or an amusement park. I don't want to repeat the same error I made about Six Flags). I am also now a dedicated fan and follower of John Howard, even if he has two first names - neither of which are very exciting. I actually spent some time "down under" roughly a decade ago. I traveled most of the trip alone through Sydney, then up to the wine country, around a little of the "outback" and then finishing up around Darwin. If it wasn't for the backpackers, I don't know how I would have been able to eat. That's the great thing about Australia - not a lot of fast food restaurants, but an endless supply of well-toned and happy-go-lucky backpackers. Befriend one, and you've pretty much got a month's worth of protein-rich meals at your fingertips (including fingertips).
Did I ever tell you about the time I punched a wallabee? Perhaps that's a story for another time (see picture).
