THE Federal Government's proposed emissions trading scheme has been endorsed by an unlikely ally - major mining company Newmont Mining Corporation. Newmont Mining chief executive Richard O'Brien said nations had an obligation to reduce their carbon footprint and he was so far supportive of the Government's proposal. Mr O'Brien's views on Australia's proposed laws put him at odds with the Australian Minerals Council of Australia, which views the legislation as fundamentally flawed with no material effect on the level of global greenhouse gases.
