H Paul1405,
I don't care for the Sky news commentators much, but the headline grabbed me. Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 23 August 2022 9:26:04 PM

Hi AC,
I don't know all that much about Greta Thunberg, but I assume she is well intentioned. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on in these matters of climate and energy, they are serious and whatever focuses attention on them is worthwhile. If the problems are not as bad as some say, and we do too much to overcome them, well we're out of pocket somewhat, so what. However should those problems be as serious or even greater than forecast, and we don't do enough to overcome them, then the result could be truly catastrophic, and that would be diabolical for the human race, we would lose far more that money.

Hi Paul1405,
I don't like this practice of using kids to manipulate the opinions of adults, like we can't think for ourselves. - That's a pet peeve. If there's an actual problem, then it must be demonstrated on merit in things we can see and easily understand not people screaming 'The End is near!" and using every trick in the book to manipulate opinion. I also don't like surrendering our sovereignty to the dictates of foreign bureaucrats to make laws on how we conduct ourselves in our own country. I'm not opposed to doing things that are better for the environment, but I don't believe we should cut our noses off to spite our faces. In this regard I support a more of a foolproof plan to adapt to the current situation with good well thought out policies and ideas rather than mere numbers or targets where peoples lives and standards they're accustomed to are left out of the equation. And finally, I don't know what they plan to do as far as reach the unrealistic expectations they seem to be setting. What are they just going to kill us all off when they decide 'more radical approaches' to these targets are needed. They scream 'we need more people for business and the economy' whilst at the same time say 'We must use less and less even with more people, the world is overpopulated' - I see them as being contradictory. What's their plan, fill the country with foreigners, then 10 years down the road enact a 1 child policy; - that's not in the best long-term interests of Australians. Generally I'd rather have faith in human beings ability to both adapt, and creative ingenuity to solve problems or find ways of doing things better, because I believe the human race is capable of it, not poor policies, no forward thinking and totalitarianism.

My Seniors National Service will be employing even more Public Servants. Who do you think will be providing that "inducement" I spoke of? Public Servants of course. BTW; What do you think will be most effective as a "inducement", whips or cattle prods? In keeping with the electrical theme I favour cattle prods myself, saving the whip for those that may be shirking their duty!
