Fun and games to get government action on climate change

Gardening Girl, it’s pretty easy to get organic cotton fair trade produced t-shirts in Canberra these days. Even bands are using them for their merch stalls.

Marry me.

Hippies need to realise that Carbon Dioxide, CO2, is not a pollutant.

It is a trace gas that takes up 385 parts per million of our atmosphere. Hopefully it goes up. Man’s part of that is 4% of 385 parts per million.

It’s impact on climate is the equivalent of a fart in a hurricane. Man’s contribution is 4% of that fart.

Plants thrive on CO2 and from the wonder of the carbon cycle produce oxygen. Which is pretty handy for us kiddies who like to inhale. Then we exhale CO2 and the cycle continues.

Can anyone really explain why I should give a flying about an up/down of a miniscule of the fart that has no impact on anything?

Except, of course, the disaster of government intervention and imposition of a tax on something for nothing.

Oh goody, another event. Where do I get my t-shirt*?
*pesticide treated azo-dyed cotton shipped from China because it’s bad for me to aspire to travel using anything but a bicycle or maybe a hybrid but it’s okay for my clothes to come halfway round the world

Lol I suspect Flannery considers pumping sulphur into the atmosphere as a Plan ‘Z’, a calculated risk and last resort to be applied in desperation when everything is turning to s@#$, with unpredictable results based on an unproven theory. Not exactly what I would classify as a ‘solution’

Yup. Unfortunately this Labor government that people elected to be better than Howard’s, seems content with being (only a little) less worse.

I left Landcare Australia as a volunteer after 10 years of providing free labour to the community because it became obvious the biggest problem we are facing in the developed world on this whole environment issue is the attitude of government and their crazy paranoid obsession they have with regards the economy.

When Rudd was asked “how come there’s more V8s in the government car fleet than hybrids?” Rudd said “I refused to do anything that will cost even one Australian job.” And here is the same problem again – we still don’t have a government on the planet that really understands the situation we are going to find ourselves in soon.

“I’m of the opinion that is better to mitigate a risk with catastrophic consequences, regardless of the probability of it occurring.”

Exactly. And it has wider environmental benefits anyway, so why wouldn’t you?

What is disturbing is the decisions that some governments are making that just go and undo everyone’s best efforts. For instance, approval of two new coal based power stations in the Hunter by the NSW Government recently will increase that state’s GHG emissions by 40%.

Hysterial moonbats.
