Australia
Australia is in favor of setting non-binding targets at different levels for each country -- a process known as differentiation. Prime Minister John Howard has said his country would walk away from an international treaty rather than sacrifice jobs or economic growth. In fact, Howard says, the country's emissions in the next few years may increase.

Brazil
Brazil has presented a proposal for a "Green Bank" that would allow countries to buy and trade emissions credits, which is being supported by the Group of 77 developing nations plus China and has met with a favorable, though cautious, response.

they differ because brazil is trying in different ways to stop global warming than australia, brazil are putting in much more effort to slow down global warming and this is gus

australia want non-binding targets for countries at different levels where as brazil wants binding targets. i think they differ because australia want different countries to get different things where as brazil want all the countries to get the same thing that will join them together.

i think they differ because the temperatures are different and i think that australia uses more pollution because we have more trux and they pollute ALOT!!

Australia has taken a position where reducing greehouse emissions is important, but John Howard is not prepared to sacrifice jobs or our stable economy.

Brazil has proposed a 'green bank' where countries will be able to buy and trade emission credits.
(how this actully works it does not say on this website). I think it would work, for example, a country could trade their credits for food or something else from another country.

The two countries differ because Brazil dosen't have a strong economy like Australia does and Brazil will benifit more with a 'Green Bank' as they would have more options to trade for food and other essential things for their country. Australia does not have such a strong need for this type of thing and Mr Howard would probably prefer another option as an incentive to reduce green house emissions.

the difference is that brazil is doing a little more then australia to try and help. australia is definately trying hard, but by the looks of things, it seems brazil is one step ahead of us.....

John Howard does not want to sign a treaty to lower gas emissions as he does not want to risk jobs or economic growth and says the country's emotions may increase in the next few years. Brazil has proposed a 'green bank' that allows countries to buy and sell emissions. They differ as Brazil has found a way to not risk jobs but still cut down on emissions so that it can still apply to the treaty. John Howard has just said "no we won't do anything about our emissions". I’m not sure why they differ but I think that john Howard has made a bad decision.
