Climate Change and what we should do about it : Comments

By Guy Hallowes, published 4/2/2021

Surely it is not a big stretch to apply these principles (i e listening to the scientists) in dealing with Climate Change.

Cool burning of a hectare of grass, puts as much carbon into the atmosphere as 6,000 cars.

Intensive cell grazing with goats is available year-round 24/7! See the numerous vids I've shared on FB and the views of other first nation people.

Burning now is just a diabolically dumb invitation for weed infestation often accompanied by a lot of (stone age) (broken record) cultural noise!

Moreover, anthropologists are not climate scientists! Neither are geologists! Sorry, Little. Should be in politics mate. They don't listen to the science either? Just their carved in stone, ideological views?

Alan B. Best if you read The Biggest Estate on Earth by Bill Gammage or Fire and Hearth by Sylvia Hallam if you really want to understand the place of fire in the Australian environment.

Mr O. That is just your (the sky will fall) opinion and not one shared by the informed Science community! Things we can do.

Stop now today pumping ever-increasing CO2 into the planet's atmosphere! Instead, start to vacuum it out to combine it with hydrogen to make all our plastics and fertilisers.

Use the nuclear cycle to make copious endless hydrogen and use that as the primary fuel source for electric vehicles!

Stop chopping down or burning forests! Want building products? Try bamboo and all manner of recycled material.

All that prevents us recycling everything, is the current cost of the energy input!

Pete. I believe the Chinese are putting thorium reactors in their warships and subs. They pulled the video almost as soon as it was posted?

It seems they have solved they have solved the alleged corrosion problem with carbon? Metal heated to the colour of straw, then plunged into a(n) (waste) oil bath?

Tritium is sorted by using a nitrate salt as the heat exchange material? Tritium combining chemically with the nitrate?

You removed any doubt about your incredibility by quoting ridiculous numbers about grass and cars. When you burn properly grass grows better and takes up more carbon dioxide. Cars don't emit carbon dioxide when they're parked on the showroom floor. Only when they're built and when they're running.
By the way, goats breathe and fart.

Bernie. The place you refer to, was past tense! I prefer on the ground living evidence-based examples that show just how misinformed the advocates of burning were! Where humans and herds have coexisted? The grasslands are denser and healthier.

And satellite imagery shows the desertification of vast swathes continues apace, thanks to current, burn baby burn, agricultural practice.

Endlessly sustainable farming practice, that stores/sequesters carbon, may well reverse climate change if universally adopted.

If it can't be grazed or harvested? It needs to be ploughed back in! Very short term cell grazing allows the alleged fuel to be converted to manure and mulch! And soil much more pervious to rainfall! Add dung battles to complete the transformation!

Alan B. Please at least read Bill Gammage's book. It will inform you through dozens of examples of how Aboriginal burning produced the grasslands you keep referring to on which kangaroos abounded. We have removed Aboriginal people from national parks and state forests, stopping their use of fire and hence stopping the maintenance of grasslands. But, as Little points out, when you burn grass, it regrows, removing CO2 from the atmosphere in exactly the same amounts as the CO2 emitted by the fire. The same happens with forests and logging.
