Nice to have some, of whatever Peter Lang is smoking.

After 25-30 years of global "climate policy", the planet's still getting warmer and the rich are still getting richer. Exactly as you would expect, when the global model is for endless growth. Hard to see things changing much, in the next 25-30 years.

Meanwhile, Australia has lost its mind over Zero Net 2050. Which appears to rely on preposterous assumptions about "carbon capture" and "carbon credits".

The author has been spending too much time in Australian classrooms, or listen to a continuous loop of Greta's greatest speeches!

While climate change cultists continue to forecast doom and despair, and ram this cult of Carbon on us, the human world will be distracted from sorting out all the real problems of pollution, water and resource mismanagement, land degradation, deforestation and good old fashioned infrastructure under-investment.

Typical navel gazing and no ideas or commitment to the value of humankind!

Meanwhile mother earth ( atmosphere, mantle and oceans) will slowly move along on... ignoring all the minor impacts we have on its development.

No Allison, also listen to Boris Johnson and many others.

Dayton: I get that your knowledge of the inner workings of a ceramic fuel is minus zero in real terms otherwise you wouldn't be opening your mouth to change socks!

Ceramic fuel cells do not burn or combust anything genius, but rather rely exclusively on a chemical reaction that then produces electricity and mostly pristine water vapour! Repeat mostly pristine water vapour!

Think electrolysis in reverse. Albeit, assisted by a catalyst.
Electricity in, gases out. Reversed, gas in, electricity and water out, as the pristine vapour. And high school chemistry.
.
It's fact-free folk like you, we have to thank for our current disastrous energy policy, the current economic and political outcomes, in a nation that could do so much better! Minus the numbskull element as the economic albatross around its allegorical neck.

Y'll have a nice day now, y'hear.

The author should read "Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline" by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitso as the realisation that global population growth will likely stop mid century and be in significant decline by the end of the century will modify many of his overly pessimistic views.

The regressive pseudo science that the warmist religion use to try and destroy Western economies is 200 times (to quote Wong) more dangerous that burning coal and driving cars. Anyone with half a brain can see that. Even the smartest evolutionist could not believe that theory anymore. One uni professor once tried to tell me humans were evolving into smarter forms. The gw religion shows the exact opposite. Never before have so many been dumbed down and incapable of knowing that burning coal does not change temperatures or climate.
