Whats going on with the weather? It has been all over the place all over the country the last year. Currently very low 20's in country Victoria in the middle of summer. Wonder what the climate change experts say about that.

Experts? They wouldn't know shitt from clay, repeating only what the great brain-washed want to hear. Climate change. Yeah, right. Simply nature doing what it has done for megaannums, but too complicated to be accepted by those with a vested interest. Australia's contribution is miniscule and it is pointless closing our power stations etc while scaring people and making them suffer financially while China, for example, build two NEW power plants EVERY WEEK. Talk about brain dead. Cheers. |

I am not a climate change denier. I accept that warming is probably happening but disagree with the push for EV and closing down our power stations.
My perspective is that oil and other non renewables are not endless so EV and other alternatives need to come at some time, but not rammed down our throats. We are rushing into significant economic pain, and disastrous consequences with closure of power stations before we are ready. Whatever plans exist to deal with this are kept hidden behind closed doors. In a few posts elsewhere in the past I have voiced my opinion on the pointlessness of us setting an example when our huge neighbours do not. That and the fact that nobody is talking about the root cause, being world population which just surpassed 8 billion. Yet we are heading more and more to increasing consumerism. Our wasteful society with the rubbish Chinese quality that means we need to buy again in too short a term, and send the old junk to landfill. In the meantime, China laughs in our face as they get richer and closer to global dominance.
Add to this the push for poorer nations to become more civilised. Their economic growth drives an explosion in consumption … cars, electronics, clothes, everything. More and more mining, emissions from manufacturing and exponential growth in transport requirements. It's getting worse, not better and we (future generations) will be chasing their tails forever.
In Australia, I believe we should not be like the mouse peeing in the ocean, because we can achieve virtually nothing. We should be focusing on dealing with it, and preparing for a possible world famine.
