Hi Joe,

Firstly let me say cynicism is not a strong point of yours, please try harder.

Concerning climate change you can align yourself with the forums geriatric brigade, and be as blind as ALTRAV, Hasbeen, ttbn, Josephus, Is Mise, runner, individual and the Mad Hatter, be completely dismissive, that's fine for those blokes who are obviously not the sharpest tools in the shed. More like a collection of blunt instruments.

The other factors you put up as impacting on climate change, sun spots, volcanoes, can even add walruses farting if you like, I'll accept them all. However if you accept the one factor we have control over, that being mans industrialised CO2 emissions, then how about we do something positive about that? If you think man made CO2 emissions are another one of those Greens/Marxists plots to destroy civilisation as we know it, then there is not much to discuss, is there.

Porky,

What can Australia do about CO2 emissions that will have a practical effect on the world?

Hi Issy, about as much as we did in WWII, Korea, Vietnam where ever, sweet fa. But like the bloke who compots his vegie peels, he can do a little of the right thing, we as a nation can do our little bit of the right thing as well.

p/s, You can't call me Porky, I am the official giver of Porky Awards, you have won 3 in 2020 already, and the year is not a fortnight old. Your last one was a whopper, where you received a Porky Award first class with bar, that's up there with all those tin stars Uncle Sam gave you all them years ago. How do you feel?

What can Australia do about CO2 emissions that will have a practical effect on the world?"

Simple. Close down all the coal fired power stations and become a destitute nation with a dysfunctional power grid. No nuclear power as most of the global warming enthusiasts are antinuclear. Geoengineering is out of the question as it is either uneconomic or opposed by global warming enthusiasts on the basis that mankind has messed with nature quite enough already. All we need do then is to wait several centuries, perhaps much longer, for CO2 levels to return to how they were in the preindustrial world, presumably a time when we always had good rain and no fires.

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would lack enthusiasm for going down this road.

Loudmouth said:

'Sure, CO2 probably promotes global warming, climate change if you prefer. So many other factors do too. As well there are other processes at work in Australia and always have been, such as droughts.'

It still hasn't dawned on him that the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of our global warming problem for the simple reason that AGW is the only probable cause of global warming over the past 240 years that can be correlated with the rise in mean global temperature.

It just hasn't registered with him; similarly with all the other AGW denialists. And none of them, especially Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison will try to prevent the big emitters of greenhouse gases from making Australia a victim of AGW. Because they simply JUST DON'T CARE.

You're a sad case Loudmouth and all of your imaginary degrees won't help you to infect others with your 'I JUST DON'T CARE' attitude. Sad, very sad because I'm sure that at some stage in your life you must have actually been a human being.

Porky,

You might remember that I once likened you to Joseph Goebbels but withdrew the remark as I don't like to speak ill of the dead.

Give an award for this statement; the Greens care nought for the welfare of some women and would see them raped or murdered to keep faith with the Greens weird outlook.
