A carbon tax that could put money in your pocket
An editorial on the Chicago Tribune endorses a new bipartisan effort
in the US to tackle rising emissions: "A growing group of farsighted
pragmatists are#trying to find a middle ground between the entrenched
adversaries. They have a proposal for combating global warming with
something for both sides. And though getting current Republican and
Democratic officeholders to unite behind it seems impossible, the
advocates have managed to win the support of such environmental groups
as the Nature Conservancy and Conservation International as well as
oil giants Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP. Former Senate Republican Leader
Trent Lott and former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen are part of a
new organization called Americans for Carbon Dividends."

Banking royal commission: Lenders accused of misconduct over treatment
of farmers
* ANZ 'empathy' too late for farmers already forced off the land by the bank
* Has Bob Katter helped extend the banking royal commission?
ABC News, 06 Jul 2018 07:39Z
Australia's main rural lenders face numerous findings of misconduct over
their treatment of struggling farmers.
* The counsel assisting the royal commission delivered a damning assessment
of banks in their treatment of farmers
* She invited the commissioner to find misconduct among the banks
* The commissioner cautioned banks not to argue "things have changed"
In a damning assessment of the sector, counsel assisting the banking royal
commission Rowena Orr, QC, pointed to numerous failings of banks to act
fairly, reasonably and ethically.
The banks under the microscope include ANZ, CBA, NAB, Bendigo Bank's Rural
Bank and Rabobank.
The assessment come after 2 weeks of hearings in Brisbane and Darwin
involving case studies of agri-business lending to 13 farming families from
Tasmania to the Top End.
[One case comes to mind as fairly typical of the mix of avarice and
incompetence involved. A farming family was sold up by the bank after
failing to pay off a $multi-mn loan. The family requested the bank
exclude their home from the sale because they otherwise had nowhere to
live. Documents submitted with the request argued the sale of the
residence would lower the sale price of the property which was
otherwise mostly farming land. The bank refused and went ahead with
the sale. The property failed to sell. The agents handling the sale
said the inclusion of the home was the major reason].
