Thereis one person in Canberra fighting for white, working people Matt. Her name is Pauline Hanson. Tell yer mates to stop voting for the sellout Nats and woke Labor and vote One Nation.

One Nation is the real Labor Party.

'Net zero" is fantasyland. Not only would the entire population of the world go back to living in caves, it would mean that we could not even use wood fires to cook our food. Whoever dreamed up "net zero" has three brain cells, and two of them are not working.

An article from the Australian.
There is a joke in itself.
That's the Australian that turned on trump.
No credibility there.

Lego, whoever dreamed up Net Zero 2050, as best I can source it, was UN Christiana Figueres and her "lioness" pals, at a green feminist retreat in 2013.

Matt, I wouldn't get into a big moral panic about it. The major economies have dubious intent, of strongly decarbonising any time soon. Look at "virtuous Germany", exiting German coal as late as 2038, but probably keeping their Russian gas-line.

Then look at the trouble Morrison has got into, signing up to a glib "Australian Way" Net Zero, then using Glasgow as a promotion for Santos.

None of this means that I agree with the LibLab consensus. Which would boost the driest continent's population 40% by 2050, and do precious little about entrenched land clearing, habitat loss, species crashes, and reckless water policy.

It is truly worrying that the imbecile who wrote this crap is a government MP. Fortunately most of the public can now see through these lies.

LEGO, as stupid as Senator Canavan is, he seems like Einstein in comparison to you!
Where did you get the idiotic idea that net zero means going back to living in caves? Why do you think net zero means we couldn't even use wood fires to cook our food?

Do you even know the difference between net and gross?

This article is correct in summation, but only because we have a self-imposed embargo on nuclear power as an alternative option! And if we would lift that asinine embargo, we could look at MSR thorium as cheaper than coal-fired power!

And should we embrace cooperative capitalism it could be rolled out in around a year as co-op owned and operated SMR's that compete fiercely for the energy dollar.

Yes, that would mean many coal mines would be progressively mothballed! And coal-fired power decommissioned on time! Rather than refurbished and continued. Given the economic realities of cheaper than coal thorium!

Add to that graphene cored under rod cables distributing this much cheaper source of locally OWNED AND OPERATED POWER! And we'd reduce current transmission and distribution losses quite massively! And increase margins minus any price hikes or price gouging!

Local ownership and distribution would also mean the end of tax evasion and profit repatriation. And privatisation that works for the consumer as opposed to current practice of dribbling pennies to the consumer as a rebate that does as little as allowed!

Co-ops would also include the usual economic flow on's that make every one dollar do the work of seven in the local domestic economy! And given that's so, create commensurate jobs, discretionary spending and wealth creation in those same communities!

Safe, clean, cheaper than coal thorium nuclear power is the one option that achieves zero emissions without tanking the economy and if rolled out as envisioned, would quite massively grow local job creation as well! TBC

The elephant in the room is world population growth and until we get that under control we have got no hope of controlling climate change.
