Bad medicine : Comments

By Ben Pearson, published 11/1/2013

If Australia is to make a contribution to avoiding dangerous climate change – and more weeks like this one - then the problem of our coal exports must be addressed.

Au contraire, Hasbeen,

If you really want to see posters behaving like chooks with their heads cut off, just trot along to WUWT or Jo Nova et al when they have a "breaking story".

I'm sure you're familiar with the above - most entertaining.

David G if your heritage listed homestead burns down you really have to look at yourself. Clean up around your yard, ensure there is no fuel and plant shade that will not readily burn. That is your problem not asking for more unemployment for your fellow Australians.
Greenpeace is the real scandal. People are always changing and there are never any spokespersons that can be called to account, why? Who are the directors? Show me the money?

I see the usual AGW denier kooks are here on Online Opinion.

"any attempt to disentangle climate change from what we see in terms of weather doesn't make much sense " - Bureau of Meteorology's manager of climate monitoring and prediction, David Jones.

Burning coal without CCS is ecocide. Exporting coal to destinations without CCS is enabling that ecocide.

Kuke It's not enough labeling people who you do not agree with. I understood during the week that last year was the wettest year in the UK since records were kept? The kicker was, records only for a couple of hundred years? Not very impressive. There were much warmer periods some hundreds of years ago and a mini ice age in the 1800's. How about the Ice Age? It only finished 15,000 years ago which in earth time is infinitesimal. Sounds like same old same old?

All I was asking was if Ben or anyone else had a sensible idea on how to wind down Australia's coal exports worth $110B while replacing that money with some other form of revenue.

Quite a few of the ideas on OLO are interesting but how to implement them?

Don't coal exporters pay the tax for the omittions that the exports create.
