Lots of talks over how each countries are working on decreasing (planning to) emissions. Honestly I love to protect the environment, but apart from taking my empty beer can to the recycle bin, use less paper and reuse my supermarket shopping bags. I don't see how individual can contribute much decrease emissions. What else more can we do to help?

Govt perks, Military exercises, Air travel for the silly masses, satellites & rockets, research, Beauty industries, entertainment industries, Sport, etc etc are the REAL polluters !
Which one will cut back first ? Voluntarily that is !

I reckon it's all too little all too late.

And I think a lot of countries will fall short of zero emissions come 2050. I reckon 2200 is a more possible milestone.

I think the El Nino-La Nina oscillations will be the best indicator of what the planet will be like in 2050. They used to occur about 15 years but over the last couple of decades are occurring about every 7 years as the ocean water around the Equator is becoming warmer.

I expect them to become even more frequent and produce ever increasing adverse weather, especially in Australia which is our immediate concern. Patterns of extreme heat followed by extreme storms will reek havoc on the agricultural sector making it useless for farming and grazing.

I think we're facing a bleak future. I pity the future generations who will inherent a land of nothingness (and full of Chinese.)

Zero emissions by 2050 - or by anytime at all. Pure insanity. Stand up to these nut cases.

Could there ever have been a more ridiculous objective that to basically destroy the most successful civilization the earth has seen, just to eliminate a perfectly harmless plant fertilizing gas, vitally necessary to life on earth.

The average member of the human race is really are too stupid to to deserve to survive. an awful lot won't if the stupidity persists.

Zero emissions; the human-caused climate change hoax; the Great Reset; irrational panic and fear mongering surrounding the China virus; scientists calling the tune and elected politicians caving in; lockdowns - all part of shifting control to a privileged few. Capitalism replaced by technocracy; the end of cash (replaced by resources controlled by the few); the end of private property (except for the few). The crushing of small and medium businesses. And naive saps ask, 'how can I help' as they are enslaved and their freedoms are taken away.

r66ald,
As you can see, this board isn't the vest place to ask - it's full of delusional dinosaurs who don't see the problem and/or don't think it can be solved without destroying the economy.

But since you have asked"
Most of the emissions reductions/offsetting will be done at a corporate level not an individual level. But there are things you could do to speed the process up a bit. The most effective one would b not voting for the Libs - but I presume you've already got that sorted.

Installing solar panes in your roof could be a good solution, particularly if you live in a state that still sources much of its electricity from coal. There's also the option of offsetting your emissions, but be careful which scheme you choose - not all are trustworthy.

r66ald,

Be careful who you listen to: "not all are trustworthy" (Aidan). AGW is a massive hoax, intended to give control to the elites. Just one of those is Al Gore, who preaches his lies while he is one of the biggest individual emitters on Earth. All the people and organisations leading you up the garden path are immensely wealthy and power-crazed, or Green spear carriers polluting the minds of children and the weak. The elites give nothing; they just take.

The warming has occurred right on schedule and is thought to have
peaked approx 1995 and we will not see much change either way for
about 50 to 100 years. The temperature will start declining noticeably
I suspect in 100 years to reach a low in 300 to 500 years.
The length of the cycle seems to vary between 600 and 1000 years
because it is the result of four different cycles.
The last cycle was about 1000 years but the time from the low approx
1780 to the present looks like approx 300 + years.
Last I read was Kaulinen is doing a fourier transform on the cycles to
get more accurate predictions.
So do not get excited about it, leave it to your great-great grandchildren.

Well r66ald & Aidan, you could stop breathing. You are contributing CO2 to the atmosphere with every breath, so if you are for real, just stop breathing now. If you won't do your bit to reduce CO2, you could just shut up rather than try to have others do what you can but won't do yourself.

The science of climate change caused by human activity Hasbeen, has been established beyond doubt by science. The fact this Forum has a small group of Old Methane (emitters), you included Hassy, who want to argue the toss well after the facts have been firmly established is neither here nor there. Therefore along with the flat earthers, the climate conspiracy nuts, and the general fruitcakes who deny climate change should not be listened to!

Unfortunately in Australia we have a number of political nut jobs in the LNP government preventing us from doing our part by setting zero emission targets by 2050. These nutters who reside in the extreme recesses of the National and Liberal parties are refusing to face the reality that our major trading partners are setting zero targets themselves, which will adversely impact our fossil fuel industries in the years to come, particularly the coal industry, even if we were to do nothing. The same political nutters are running around giving false hope to those in the industries, such as coal mining and power generation, they make false claims that their jobs, and the industry in general, will be secure and that they have a bright future, nothing could be further from the truth. The time to redirect and redeploy those in the failing fossil fuel industries to secure a future for workers and their families displaced by change is now, not in 30 years time.

I'd like to see an article that says there's no Climate change. I'd also like to see an article that says there was no Climate change before humans came onto the scene !

Much more important than articles on lies about climate change and necessary carbon dioxide (now misconstrued as 'carbon') is the news that convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika has been stripped of his Australian citizenship by the man who should have been our Prime Minister, Peter Dutton.

I'm not sure if zero emissions by 2050 is realistically
achievable but I think that our government is doing
the best that it can to comply with the Paris agreement.
I remember Joel Fitzgibbons giving an interview on the
topic some time ago - and what he said made a lot of sense.
We can meet halfway on this issue - of that I'm sure. And
we certainly need to have this debate and do what's best
for the country.

It should not be a matter of either one way or the other.
We can meet half way. It would be a start and see how we go.

Foxy,

It's now too late to take the action needed to turn back the clock on adverse human induced climate change.

And people who tell you that humans are not the cause of this climate change are speaking like that simply because they are dummies.

Soot and Dazza's gal are in that mob.

And that's another one of the reasons I call those two the epitome of evil.

"I think that our government is doing the best that it can to comply with the Paris agreement" Foxy.

Yes & that is why we should chuck them out, just after we chuck out that dill you have as your premier.

How genuine is that Paris Agreement ?
What has it achieved since its inception ?
When I look around I still see insane amounts of plastic, frivolous industries, pollution from mass gatherings et etc.
I still see war pollution daily on the News.
Can someone please give us some examples of the Paris Agreement being of value ?

pseudo-individual,

One impact of the Paris Agreement is that it sorts our world into those who are good and those who are evil.
