I wonder if our resident OLO pseudo intellectuals had any involvement in this ? It wouldn't surprise me at all !

Mr O is Onan on steroids. I know what he is blathering on about and that he has it all profoundly wrong.I have told him before his childish insults do not affect me as I hold him in contempt!
I do not believe in the current, what is it now? Global warming, no, climate change whatever it is a load of baloney.
I know this because in my travels through Asia I never saw a solar panel or a windmill. They cannot/will not waste their monies on these subsidised stupidities and they value their money.
Anyone who disagrees should give up their cars and passports and live this more virtuous life. Like the politicians, media idiots and stars on their business class or private jets and their two homes they commute between.
You have been well and truly had, done up like kippers, killed, gutted and smoked! You deserve it with your slavish fashionable groupthink!

I agree, JBowler that Mr Opinion is just a kook. Any attempt to engage him in a rational discussion or even asking him a simple question has him chanting his five point mantra about CO2. Like the equally kooky Yuyutsu, who tries to turn every topic into a discussion about "spirituality" (whatever the hell that is) I for one will not respond to him again.

" Australia is committed to lowering emissions by 26 to 28 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030 with its land use and forestry concession,"

Failure, yes. It goes up in smoke as we've just seen. And property destroyed and lives lost.

Not interested in discussing manbearpig at all but thanks to Chris for bringing up the Kyoto forest lock ups. Very timely.

'Anyone who disagrees should give up their cars and passports and live this more virtuous life. '

sickening part is JBowyer, that is what the elites want the average person to do while they fly to their love fests in private jets. The Hollywood deviants are among the worse.

Thanks for the comments.

Alan, you provide a lot of info about energy possibilities. I was hoping that you could provide links to sources of such info in future, albeit i can research your ideas.

i am writing a piece on the environment 2050, where i think it may be heading, and would appreciate any can do ideas.

If anyone believes it is waste of time trying to address environmental concerns, i would appreciate reasons that explain why.
