Some people still like to think that we live in a democracy. Some people also believe that they, not elected politicians, are in charge. But, they don't want to out in the effort in to make it true.

We deserve to go down, as we are now doing. By not thinking, or worse, believing in the myths and lies about carbon dioxide - misidentified as carbon - and the absolute crap that we can survive on wind and solar, we are committing suicide.

The biggest threat to the West is not climate change, but radical Islam, multiculturalism, mass immigration: and above all, ourselves and the morons we keep voting for.

I think we should blow up the moon and see what happens!

There is something exquisite about your suffering ttbn.

Various hare-brained schemes for collecting solar in the stratosphere and the like have been suggested over the years. They defy rational assessment. That's also the problem with Australia's nuclear ban. Rationality doesn't come into it. The closest analogy is with religion. Anti-nuclear sentiment is deeply embedded in Australian culture. It is to some extent inherited, learned at an early age in the home, just like religion. And like conventional religion it is slowly weakening in influence. A brand new genuine need for clean energy, combined with painful costs of renewables with indispensable backups, are working towards greater acceptance of nuclear. Blackouts will speed things up. But don't hold your breath. The forces against are powerful.

It will require a change of government TomBie.
