Cutting emissions: my country’s, BHP’s, mine, or thine? : Comments

By Geoff Carmody, published 29/10/2019

Many 'green' supporters advocate all three measures at the same time. Consistent accounting frameworks? Double counting? Who cares? Those are concerns for number nerds.

Back in the days when the author was an impartial, senior Treasury officer, presumably he would have questioned the justification, if any, for Australia to cut GHG emissions. He would have found that there was no scientific evidence, and consequently, no valid economic reason, to justify such action.

It was the UN climate change mafia that conned nations to accept the anthropogenic global-warming groupthink (hoax actually). Sadly, Australia was no exception – getting onto the GHG emission-reduction bandwagon, and never looking back, thanks to the firmly-established ‘warmist’ groupthink in the Federal and State public services, and the gullibility of our MPs.

Consequently, Australia went from having coal-fired baseload electricity that was the cheapest in the world, to the world’s dearest electricity thanks to replacement of coal baseload power with fashionable, subsidised, high-cost, unreliable renewables.

Thanks to our misinformed former PM Turnbull, Australia ratified the Paris Accord, Australia foolishly appears hell bent on meeting its promised GHG emission reductions, even though it is not obligatory to do so.

Given his knowledge of developments, the author now is able to take on consultancies for either the ‘warmist’ cause or the realist cause. So good luck to him, as they say.

Alan, all:

There is absolutely no link between Co2 and temperature, in fact scientific fact clearly shows (from ice cores in Greenland and conclusively backed up from ice cores from Antarctica) that over the past 3 to 5 million years there is no correlation between Co2 and temperature. The opposite over long time periods is scientific fact.

Had it not been for man’s contributions to Co2 resulting from the burning of fossil fuels, it was possible the declining levels of Co2 occurring naturally may have been devastating as at around 150ppm all vegetation begins to die. So thank you man made Co2, the more the merrier.

3 to 5 thousand years ago when Co2 levels were much lower than today, temperatures were approximately 2 degrees warmer. Man survived and thrived, another couple of scientific facts which are conveniently denied.

Current global temperatures are well within natural climate variability, another inconvenient scientific fact being denied.

Alan, when are you going to stop lying and start admitting you know nothing about real climate science?
