I appreciate your clarification, a point I was endeavouring to advise prior to JamesH distorting my post.

No doubt, you would also concede that all hydrocarbons, once burnt, convert to CO2.

Would you also concede that with the implementation of exhaust systems (pollution control mechanisms), the volume of atmospheric CO2 would drastically reduce?

One may obtain any industry licence from the Dept. of Environment to learn that most of the industrial polluters are not required to implement pollution prevention control.

This is the result of the sycophantic "regulators" aligned to pollutant industries, where only socially responsible companies voluntarily install pollution prevention mechanisms. The remainder are simply obsessed with profits and like Mr Carter, prefer to vandalise the environment for the fiscal benefits of a few.

As a consequence, you will learn that despite Messrs Turnbull and Carter's denials and false assurances, industrial pollution has increased. You may access these results from www.npi.gov.au.

Therefore, whilst the environmentally friendly "joe blows" endeavour to reduce their carbon footprint, the industrial barons are enlarging theirs.

May I advise you also not to risk driving a smoky vehicle. The regulators will put you off the road immediately. It is mandatory for you to install an effective exhaust system!

Not even close Bob, and no cigar. Tony Jones does half his job for once and RightThink cries foul. All Karoly was doing was his job, prob happy cos its easier to pin down the artful deceivers on primetime than in peer reviewed journals, though he's done that too. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v382/n6586/abs/382039a0.html

If the ABC were doing all of its job it would have put Clive Hamilton on panel to talk about industry funding of sceptics in Australia, as laid out in new book Scorchers.

But wasn't the audience a doozy! is Tony mysteriously drawn to ..characters? a better process is to have audience submit written questions, could publish all to allay inevitable 'bias!' whines from the Right. I'll bet Bob wont quickly agree to another such public demolition.
