Of course it is. But they are a rampant green warrior and have no basis in logic. Hell. I can see a lot more reason to claim left wing bias than right wing bias. Unless you are saying I made it up.

True, the audience does appear to lean a certain way. But, that is like complaining that talkback radio is biased because of the people who ask the questions. Or a phone in on ABC radio. It relies on a certain level of honesty from the participant. Every report and study done since 1994...

How so? The flow of electrons is a scientific explanation. I do not have that background, so I understand the basic principles. If we accept your interpretation, then electricity cannot exist.

I don't understand how electricity truly works in terms of how it flows and powers things. That doesn't mean I dispute the existence of it.

They said the same things about removing CFCs. They changed over to other products and the damage began to reverse. However, there was readily available alternative products. There was however opposition based on how much it was going to cost and that it was a pointless exercise and that...

Because the actions stemming from the banning of CFCs under the Montreal Protocol went a lot of the way to minimising the impacts, and the hole is generally decreasing in the size.

List of ABC journos etc that have gone on to a political career http://www.crikey.com.au/2012/06/25/speaking-of-media-independence-how-does-aunty-fare/ Interesting statistical analysis of Q and A. http://andrewwhitby.com/2013/11/10/abc-qanda/ I'd link to tedious conservative opinion pieces...

I'm semi retired. Kind of. Do 2 days a week and then either mess around on cars, on a house or if I'm under the weather due to long term issue, online. Need to be in the office full time for the next few months starting next week. So I'm sure you'll be happy to see a decrease in posts :D

I'm out on my own. Don't worry. I have a new contract starting next week ;)

No. There's an ignore list on here if you want.

But I'm not saying that climate change is happening, and I have voted for both labor and liberal. However, simply saying that the free market will fix everything is just blindly following an ideology. Just as assuming that workers controlling the means of production and sharing everything...

But that is kinda what I am are saying. There is no innovation. There was some great stuff coming out of UNSW. But he has had to relocate to China to get funding to continue his work into a much more cost effective solar system. I should have made it clearer - there should be more funding...

Because saying there would be a carbon tax would have been an election killer. I'm not supporting it. I just think that free market theory works well as a theory only.

I was pointing out that in some instances carbon dioxide can cause pollution. Glib, sweeping statements don't help anyone.

That makes no sense. If it was about her keeping her job it would never have been put in place because it is highly unpopular. It is a ludicrous argument to try and maintain. The support of the Greens is a non-argument. Most greens preferences end up at Labor anyway. In parliament...

Not strictly true - most acid rain is that, but it can also be carbonic acid, which is also a corrosive substance. It is less common though. It is an example of carbon dioxide being a pollutant, however rare it might be ;)

It does happen every now and again. I'm as scared as you are so let's just back away and pretend it never happened :D

But it is still a finite resource. Which was my point. But seen as you bring up pollutants, most of them are in the slag etc from the process - lots of mercury, arsenic, lead etc etc As for carbon dioxide - it can form with water molecules to form a type of acid rain.

Sorry. If it makes you feel any better I can provide a link to the David Icke forum?

Because they won't. Simple as that. There needs to be adequate funding to move away from non-renewables. There is no funding. There should be incentives to move away from high-polluting energy generation. There isn't. The only people that do pay the extra are those that a) care b)...
