Australia should adopt a broad-based carbon emissions trading scheme that includes energy and transport but compensates industries whose offshore rivals do not adopt emissions curbs, an official report said on Friday. The 600-page draft report, prepared by climate-change adviser Ross Garnaut in an effort to shape public policy, also urged Australia to go further than its current goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by 2050 and warned of a major dent to the economy if it avoids the hard decisions on climate change.
