Finally some sanity and informed expertise being added to this debate.

There's nothing wrong with building dream castles in the clouds, always providing you don't move in as permanent resident, like Mz B?

And typical of the disingenuous, mendacious, extraordinarily insincere green movement. Typically, they just trample the rights of others, simply to support an extremely narrow ideological imperative, which puts humans last in order of priority.

Except where they serve a political agenda/pious power play! Replete with a veritable torrent of crocodile tears!

And almost always reject any engineered solution, even though that may well be the very thing we need, to reverse climate change? All while alleviating poverty and allowing culturally incompatible refugees to be repatriated to restored and reinvigorated homelands!

Helped as it could be by the expertise and practical know how of some of the world's best conservationists, Aussie farmers!

If we want to move these radical thinkers on, we all of us, need to stop preferencing them and other obstructive, divisive, noxious, nocturnal numbskulls, at election time!

Better a sane Major take the seat and we retain democracy! Rather than have this bunch of quisling autocrats given what they crave! POWER!

Trees store carbon whether horizontal or vertical! In houses, furniture, gum tree canoes, or a buried woody weeds!

It's good to get a riposte to a Left Wing Liar the next day. 0.23% cleared makes more sense. People should stick to what they know, and not waffle on as a hobby. Being a medical practitioner in no way qualifies anyone to speak outside their area about anything. Besides, doctors, like bank managers, are no longer looked up to by the hoi polloi, who now realise that academic qualifications mean b...er all when they are held by political ideologues.

.23% is the same as 138,000 Ha year. It's new forest clearing apart from the re-growth . It's 400 years to zero forests.

Little left to lose: deforestation and forest degradation in Australia since European colonization
Oxford Journal of Plant Ecology, Volume 5, Issue 1, 1 March 2012,
"Overall, Australia has lost nearly 40% of its forests,."
-

"With a total forest estate of around 52 million hectares, Queensland has the largest forested area Australia."

So in 200 years 40% , 400 years 60% . The rate is slowing but we're at half-way to ground zero forests. Can Oz beat the Brazilians to national success in wasteland ?

and lets not forget the masses amount of land that will be destroyed by bushfires because the Greens are to dumb to allow burn off in many places. I guarantee these bushfires do more harm in a couple of days than a farmer could possibly do. Then again that requires a person to think beyond their idiotic narrative which is something that warmist/Greens find hard to do.

btw how many carbon emissions from the volcano's around Bali. More than 50 Adani's could produce?

Well done Graham, providing this counter to that greenie garbage.

Perhaps you missed the bit Nick, that trees are proliferating faster than they are being knocked down. We have more now than at white settlement. Of course it could be you are just too dumb to understand plain English, or are one of those lying greenies. Perhaps you could advise us which.

Personally I am sick of your smart ass comments, which contribute nothing useful, but probably do give you an exaggerated idea of your obviously limited mental abilities.

I quote experts and you don't like that?
Can you give any facts about trees proliferating faster ? Is it offensive to have a different opinion from you?
