'Green energy' opponents ignore the elephant in the room : Comments

By Tom Harris, published 13/10/2025

Critics fight wind farms and solar panels, but few dare name the elephant in the room - what if the climate crisis isn’t real?

Embarrassingly, Adelaide's Labor Government is panting to host COP 31 in 2026.

So, given the huge distance Adelaide is from the rest of the world, and the carbon dioxide emitted getting here, the SA government must also agree that the CO2 cause of climate change idea is bullsh.t. Hypocrites.

The SA government, like their federal counterparts, also wants more migrants, despite the extra carbon dioxide those migrants emit. Hypocrites.

Ah yes, ttbn.

The classic "if you care about carbon, why do you ever leave the house?" argument. It’s a bit like saying doctors shouldn’t attend medical conferences because planes exist - as if addressing global health means never flying to do so.

Nothing embarrassing there at all.

Yes, conferences emit carbon. So do hospitals. So do rescue helicopters. The point isn’t to eliminate all emissions overnight - it’s to reduce them systematically over time while still running a functioning society. Hosting COP31 in Adelaide doesn’t disprove climate science any more than firefighters using fuel to get to a bushfire proves they’re not worried about fire.

As for the claim that migrants cause too much CO2 - that’s just recycled anti-immigration rhetoric with a thin green coat.

CO2 emissions are driven more by how people live than where they live. Many migrants come from low-emitting countries and actually increase their carbon footprint by moving to high-consumption countries like Australia - because we emit more per person, not because they do. If you’re serious about reducing emissions, the answer isn’t fewer migrants - it’s cleaner infrastructure, better transport, and a smarter energy grid.

Otherwise, blaming climate action while dismissing climate science just leaves you with one thing: hypocrisy.
