Herbert Stencil, I like it.

If you want an analogy, or lots of them, see studies by Kesten C. Green, International Graduate School of Business Management, University of South Australia. kestencgreen.com, its work in progress but informative.

It seems that man is capable of changing local and regional micro-climates; this has been the case since Roman times, as in the Mediterranean. The AGW stuff is a crock of.

AGW science has, or is about to collapse, see other threads.

Renewables? A recent study from Cambridge Uni suggests that the UK could achieve about 10% of its energy from “all forms of renewables”, max! In Australia we might push that to about 15%. This would not even compensate from population increases.

There is no evidence of global warming, let alone AGW. The science has collapsed. Hence there is no evidence that there is any connection at all with CO2.

You are on the right track, the information is out there. Start with the international Dailies. Out local media is censored, forget them.

I used to be strongly anti nuclear but now I realise it is our only chance. If we don't stop burning coal future generations will be stuffed. There is enough coal for centuries out there and if it is all burned Venus will seem like a mild climate planet.

We can put a moratorium in place where we reduce coal sales by 10% after 2020 so that by 2030 the rest is all left in the ground.

We would have to switch our own economy to a mix of nuclear and renewables otherwise we would have no credibility putting the moratorium in place.

Nuclear energy has a bad name in the west but with some education that may change. Drink driving, smoking cigarettes used to be acceptable behaviour. Now after serious campaigns it isn't any more. The same can be done about coal

Dead right!

I feel guilty about leaving my fridge door open and yet my local supermarket has huge fridges that don't even have doors. I cannot believe that they are still legal.
