CANBERRA, Australia — Prime Minister Julia Gillard said today that her government would decide next year how to charge Australia’s major polluters for the carbon gases that they emit in a bid to curb the nation’s greenhouse-gas emissions.
Gillard’s plan to fast-track Australia’s introduction of financial penalties for polluters came hours ahead of a U.N. climate change summit in Mexico starting today that will consider how the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions will be replaced after 2012.
