Climate change will not be see the demise of humanity, over population will! As the dominent species we adapt to climate change the same way prehistoric man did ... they moved! If the grops failed ....they moved, if the ice melted and the rivers and seas rose ... they moved. We will do the same. The only difference now is over population, if and when we move it may be to an area that is already stretching it's resources. Other than an impact of the type that caused the demise of the dinosours, over population is the greatest threat to the longevity of mankind. We need to control our own numbers.
IMO, the current scare tactics on global warming is financial & politicaly motivated, along with the ravings of the extreamist greens. If the current goverment is allowed to impliment carbon taxing, it will economicaly destroy this country and force us into a major recession.

I never really meant for this thread to get too serious but reality is a Labour govt has a hard time bringing in taxes and because of the balance of power mix and union alignment, the current "pricing" solves their problem. It is directed at big business, but as we all know from thousands of proven examples, we the consumer (but not union member or taxpayer) wear the cost.

Ok bring on the attack, I have asked for it and now expect it

PS Vote 1 4wding First Party

After gas prices rose another 18%, households across the country have been left with no choice but to turn their hands to mini nuclear reactors for their energy needs.
Ministers have been disappointed with the take-up of solar panels and wind turbines, but there’s currently a real buzz surrounding many of the new bonsai nuclear plants.
Faced with rising fuel bills and increasing pressure to buy ‘green’ energy, many households are keen on taking advantage of the new ‘feed in’ tariffs for cottage colliders.
The energy minister explains, “Wind turbines are fine if you only want your lights on when it’s windy. But other households, perhaps those with televisions or washing machines, need a safe and reliable source of low-carbon energy.”
Wickes are planning a range of pocket fast breeder reactors, starting with the budget ‘Three-inch Island’ model.
They recommend customers don’t carry out the commissioning themselves, “There’s a helpline for anyone who fancies having a bit of a go at it, but it really needs to be wired up by a competent nuclear scientist,” said a spokesman for the company.
“It’s really important that you put it on an even surface, near a pond. We’re also selling toy helicopters with buckets underneath – you should probably buy a couple, just to be on the safe side”.
Nuclear home
Councils have introduced a new lead-lined wheelie bin to deal with the waste from the new breed of home-reactors.
Residents are warned to treat spent fuel rods with care, “Don’t let your children play with them. They can make very life-like toy rockets or light sabres, but they also cause rashes, and hair loss.”
Critics of the scheme claim it is no more economically viable than solar panels.
Although the smallest B&Q gaseous fission reactor can produce 4 megawatts of power, the initial purchase price won’t be paid back for 85 years, with the small print committing the the customer’s children and grandchildren to 200 years of decommissioning – assuming the owner isn’t sterilized by a poorly fitted shielding.
Residents’ associations are also unhappy, with one telling us, “These are undoubtedly going to be eye-sores, and possibly cataracts.”
“The constant hum and occasional controlled venting ruined my last garden party, and we’re constantly having to ‘shoo’ the sort of riff-raff who set up protest camps.”
“We’re highly critical, which ironically is also the state of my neighbour’s reactor”.

".

Hey maybe we can do a bulk buy for all us PP users at a discount - do ARB/TJM have a brand of mini nuclear reactors?

I've been hearing the Carbon Tax jargon surrounding Geothermal electricity. What disgusts me is that this is being pushed as though it's a reality in Australia. However, of all the Geothermal wells drilled in Australia, how many do you think have actually produced viable electricity?? Zero. None. The first well was drilled about 8 years ago. So, in eight years of drilling and exploring, they still haven't managed to generate electricity.

How about present us all with the facts Julia, rather than massaged facts? Electricity will never be cheaper under a green system because it simply cannot be generated in a sufficient quantity.

In South Australia we pay MORE to use green electricity WTF???????

I would like Jooooolia to explain why I pay a bit extra to airlines, origin and every other F&^Ker for green even before the tax? It will no doubt be worse after and as usual because I work for a living and I am divorced I will not get a damm thing back AT ALL. Enjoy your last days in politics you stupid twat.

Next, we will all be slugged with a user tax for consuming oxygen......................

As photoprado has said, the science is solid. Anyone who observes nature either part time or professionally knows this, the changes that have happened in the past fifteen years I am talking about. Like, blind Freddy could see the changes, and some of it is us unfortunately as stated before on my previous threads. I thought that we were over argueing and disputing global warming as far as science goes anyway

huh....seems to me that the forces of "nature" is a most magnificent way to extract yet more dollars from the......ummm...

dopey taxpayers......me included

Bit like the water shortage saga, all due to global warming of course. Billions and billions of water lay under this great state - untapped. Enough water to meet Perth's needs for 4,000 years. But will they bring it up and pipe it to Perth - no, they want to double the output of the water de-sal plant and charge the customers more.

Shhhhh, no-one knows about that water coz its hidden.
