The sceptics don't need to prove anything. It is the alarmists who wish to turn our world upside down [20% reduction in CO2 emissions can't be achieved by tinkering] who need to prove their case. The GW "scam" has been with us 30 years now and deadlines set then are now passing, so why are we...

Aaron, Keep your eye on Germany. That is where we are finding the highest profile defectors from the alarmist ranks. Germany will be the first to break ranks and Angela will pass ignominiously into history. Spain has already abandoned the cause because "free" energy bankrupted them, but they...

It's even miserable up here in Paradise, Penny. Cold [for us anyway] gusty and a bit wet. I'm about to switch on the reverse cycle air-con for the first time. :)

Swann wants to strangle mining, so if you pull the plug on auto manufacture, what have we got left? They are doing away with the diesel rebate so that hits the farmers as well as the miners. The GM design team is highly regarded, or so I am led to believe.

Of course! But leave your soda to go flat and see how it tastes - lousy, there is no acid tang left. At atmospheric pressure the vast amount of CO2 bubbles off quickly. Don't insult me by insinuating that I don't know of it, but I also know the "acid rain" that was damaging The Black Forrest...

Why on earth would you build a nuclear power station and run it as a "back up"? I see no possible logic here. Once built it is VERY cheap power. The cost is very much in the capital. You are too wedded to your outlandish "anti base load" idea to make sense.

Who needs base load power? A Lesson From Germany Germany's power grid is in trouble, and federal regulators are warning something must be done before the onset of winter's usual skyrocketing energy demands. They say the current grid is unable to support the forced transition from nuclear to...

I think Ideo is an economist: Everything is "Yes! But on the other hand......." Never nails his colours to the mast. This way you can agree/disagree forever. Beats working! [I'm retired]

But the money IS being spent on R&D. It may as well be spent on R&B for all the life changing solutions that have surfaced. Renewables have had plenty of seed capital and are only just surviving still because of the enforced uptake.

HiE. I am thinking globally. In Germany, UK and the US the total amounts would be staggering.

This simple sentence proves without a doubt that you are arguing socialistic politics, not climate change. As I said, I'm a veteran in this war and a large majority of "alarmist" posters I have crossed swords with are rusted-on labor, so much so they are defending Craig Thomson as simply...

Just as "renewable" energy is still theoretical. Like a wrestle between the sheets: Big things are promised in nine months! :)

Why didn't you say that in the first place? I still doubt relevance.

You couldn't be further from the truth. Solar companies have received billions of gov funding to set up and their users have received the benefit billions of dollars of RECs to encourage their purchase of PV cells. But they are going bust because they can't compete with cheap chinese competition...

Acid rain is water and SOXs. If CO2 dissolved in water it would no longer be in the atmosphere.

First time ever you have agreed with me, that's what I said. Must have been a misunderstanding. :)

I am an old warrior in the climate change wars. I am tired of being accused of "not caring". That is: not caring about pollution, not caring about my grand children, not caring about the oil pollution of the oceans, not caring about the reef, simply put, not caring about my environment. Couldn't...

While the true believers trust Flannery and Gore. :eek: What arrogance on your behalf to think that nobody here is capable of logical thought, that they believe any junk they are fed. Well we don't believe Julia.

Macca, It might have been 1952 we moved to "the South Side". A wharf-side, water-side suburb. There was a concrete gutter outside and the "spring" tides would enter that gutter and must have wet our back yard because Dad filled that with cinders from the local power station. If Flannery were...
