Gaping hole in greenhouse gas emissions : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 4/3/2019

Australia’s commitments, no matter what anyone thinks of them, are quite pointless unless they are conditional on action by the world’s big emitters.

Steele Baby I got you well and truly skewered! The real world is going on with coal. Probably next will be smaller, neater nuclear reactors and who knows what? Certainly not solar or wind who have both needed massive subsidies whilst always promising pie in the sky tomorrow.
Abbott is a shrewd political man who said we don't need to pull out of Paris? Just to blunt some of the hatred that gets directed at him daily. When Europe and the UK hit the recession they have to have watch them re-evaluate their objections to fracking and coal.
Strangely none of you futurists comment on the UK using US wood pellets to generate electricity because it is apparently carbon neutral? Please discuss lol!

Wonderful wordsmith.
Unfortunately, if you have bred, your are displaying symptoms of hypocrisy of the highest order.

If anyone had actually checked the science, this whole global warming crisis would never have taken place in the first place.

The unfortunate consequence is that so much money is now available for 'mitigating' it that few are interested in ascertaining the truth, and some are actually engaged in hiding it or even distorting basic facts, to support a pre-determined agenda. Sad.

What are the basic facts?

1. Carbon dioxide (the principle gas involved) is only a minor greenhouse gas, operating effectively over a very small spectrum centered on the 14.9 um wavelength. This wavelength is also partially covered by the major greenhouse gas, water vapour. Once this spectrum is saturated, the addition of more greenhouse gas effectively adds no futher warming effect.

2. Man's total contribution to the global increase in carbon dioxide is estimated by the IPCC at 4.3% (IPCC AR5). The increase in this gas from natural sources (ie, the Oceans and Terrestrial souces)) is stated by them to be 95.7%.

3. Water vapour operates over a much larger spectrum range and is present in much higher concentrations. (eg @ 3%, (range ,<1% - ~6%) water vapour is present at over 73 times the concentration of carbon dioxide).

4. There is no way carbon dioxide can perform the dominating function claimed for it by the IPCC and its supporters, and there is not one piece of unequovical empirical evidence that supports this contention.

5. Carbon dioxide on the other hand is absolutely vital, in fact fundamental, for all life on earth as we know it. More of it is currently greening the Earth, crucial to support the continuing increase in the world's population.

We need to think clearly and rationally about this issue.

Ian McClintock should be commended for clearly presenting the basic facts.

It is one more confirmation of the climate change deception that is being forced on us by dishonest politicians, at enormous cost to the Australian economy -- certainly acting contrary to the national interest.
