Lock it up and leave they say and when the fuel load is a tangled impenetrable wilderness and tinder dry after an extended drought! Then let a single bolt of lightening of a careless disposed bottle or ciggies get a small fire started, just as a strong wind blows it toward a major settlement, like say a wooded Canberra or Sydney. Or other cities, more trees than houses.

And where many of those are heritage listed and dry old timber? And as the fire storm erupts as it must! Destroys all not able to outrun something faster than a thundering steaming express, setting new land speed records! Be they endangered or nearly extinct/bat wing parrot.

And then create the very circumstance, where only ferals can and do survive! Well done, no name numbskull!

Why don't you nick off back to the rand of the wrong white crowd! Or maybe just stalk Hasbeen for a change?

I mean he'd have two laser activated thorium powered generators one for his car and one for his house.

Particularly if just 16 grams would power both of them for the next 100 years without refuelling! Or as a environmentally/socially responsible senior citizen, without adding so much as a single gram of carbon to the atmosphere for a century!

And given he has spoken in favour of thorium like he has been, give you all the excuse you need, like the troll you are to add your notorious noxious nonsense as an adjunct to his every comment! He'll just love you! NO NAY NEVER!

Goodness me Alan.
You'll send me the bill for burning down Sydney?
I didn't mention the Thorium . And you blow your reactor pile at me..

Haven't you heard the definition of an expert nick, particularly those like your greenie ratbags, or this author.

A drip under pressure just for you.

Facts, gentlemen, please.

Trees up .

Guys, I would like to ask a question. Did anyone hear an announcement on TV, by a scientist/researcher, (not sure of his title) who had just finished his research into Flora (plants) related CO2 emissions. I was astounded to hear him declare that his research found that plants give off an incredible amount more CO2 than previously thought. He gave a figure of at least 30%. It was all over by the time I engaged my brain, so I'm hoping someone else saw it and can clarify it for me. I find the statement a little surprising, BUT, not knowing anything about such things I am prone to believe him. After all he is the expert. But did I hear him correctly? If anyone has anything to add to this question I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Yes it's not what we're usually told .It's been known for a while :
High CO2 boosts plant respiration, potentially affecting climate and crops
