The PM has made a thing about the end of climate wars.
Surely he understands that using the "Keep the Details Till Later"
technique only delays the argument and does not prevent it.
The government will try to implement regulations that will force all
companies to reduce their CO2 emissions and to prove it.
A few companies may be able to guess but most will not have a clue.
Take a company that their only emissions are caused by their electricity demand.
How do they determine how much of their electricity they used was
generated by Wind & Solar, (W&S) and how much by gas turbines and Coal ?
Just average of the grid supply you say ?
If your company only operates between sunrise and sunset you will have
a different average to a company running 3 shifts !
So why should you pay a higher average than what you consume.
Then in agriculture do sheep fart more than cows ?
That is just a first thought on the arguments that will arise.

More to the point, how will it affect me a retiree ?
How will I reduce by 6.14% each and every year ?
How do I prove it ?
Will we have to buy credits from the Gnomes of Zurich ?

Hi Bazz,

Well, the government's bill passed the lower house
89 to 55 votes with Liberal MP Bridget Archer
crossing the floor. The bill will go before the
Senate in September. It's set to pass.

We'll have to wait and see I guess whether there
will be any serious climate wars. So far the start
has been a good one - with not serious opposition.
As yet. I guess we'll have to see what the Greens
do next - and whether the Coalition will continue
to not oppose things.

Time will tell. Climate is a very important issue to
the voters. And any politician opposing change will
do so at their own political risk - as the results of the
last election showed.

"More to the point, how will it affect me a retiree ?"

Literally no one cares, old man. This is your mess, we're fixing it

we're fixing it
the voice of reason,
So, why don't you start fixing things without any of the commodities the previous generations have put on the table ?
You wouldn't even be writing here if it weren't for the bad oldies. As a matter of fact your generation would starve to death if it weren't for the previous generations.
You lot haven't invented a thing yet nor have you contributed anything yet.
I for one can't wait to see you make things work without any of the facilities built by the previous generations !

Don't worry, Bazz. None of this BS is going to work, as shown in Europe, where there is a scramble back to fossil fuels.
