Memo to Scott Morrison : Comments

By Mark Buckley, published 13/1/2020

We also note that you just had to go on holiday outside Australia. I guess that is because you couldn't find anywhere in Australia that wasn't either on fire.

Yes Individual, I get waffle as an answer also.
I stopped to work out what would have to be done.
All energy has to be electrical from solar, wind and water.
Ruling out nuclear means making enormous numbers of panels and turbines.
The catch is how do you build them ?
You need very large amounts of cement, steel, copper, plastics for
turbine blades and wire insulation and conduit and water pipe.
You can't just build them and quit, new ones have to be built.
Then there is all the equipment that will use that power.
Farming,food processing and transport are all large generators of co2.
Then there are all the buildings we use !
I can see they could reduce to 50% with difficulty, but 100% ?
All that is before we start on agriculture.
Perhaps the vegans can eat each other, one problem solved !

Are you guys still supporting the "Smoking is good for your health" line of argument as conservatives once did. Your denial of climate change with go the same way as your support for smoking did 50 years ago. Your bubble will burst, and you will be confronted with the unpleasantness of the reality. Lets hope its not to late.

There are no Climate Change Denialists, only climate Change cause denialists !
Only those who think themselves as highly intelligent but are not, deny evolution which runs on climate change !

Paul, I think your comment was directed at Indiv and myself.
Seriously, how can you construct all that infrastructure without the
use of the energy available at this time.
That is only the start, all construction is very energy intense.
Whatever is the target for renewable energy at present will be nowhere
near enough to replace all the transport needs we currently need.
That will mean more solar panels, wind turbines etc etc which will
demand more concrete, metals and plastics.
I know of only one study that looked at the maintenance requirements.
Solar panels alone using the mtbf (mean time between faults) required
unbelievable numbers of panels to be replaced daily.

Frankly those zero co2 proposals just seem unreal.
All that is before food production is tackled.
Of course they always say; "We do not expect to reach zero"
But they do !
Can you explain, if you know, how "they" expect to achieve their aim ?

Bazz,
They can't even tell us WHAT they want Govt to do, let alone tell us how they expect to exist on 'Zero' ! I've been waiting for years now for the likes of Mr Opinion, SteeleRedux, Paul1405 et al
to explain what they have in mind when they say Govt needs to do more about CC.

Lads, the rational behind zero carbon emissions has been explained time and time again. We can't keep going over it for the dummies in the class who are slow on the uptake.
