Thanks for your post Joz

Can you tell me how the current government is reducing pollution? Given that you just said it was the cause

I guess the real question is if whether we beleive it is man made?

Climate is changing but there are many intelligent (not abbott) people that believe it is not caused by humans.

My personal belief is that pollution cannot be helping

i just let him go as he's beyond saving.

Interest isn't it, I just put filters in place and recognize those that go looking for answers that suit their agenda, they generally sound dumb to me, even though educated.

I must have missed the anti pollution campaign this Government has been running, where do I find it?

msm newspapers, the first two pages of google results was mostly rubbish from energy-funded fraudulent so called 'think tanks' and their army of over zealous followers.  the sheer volume of carp did a lot of the damage . eloquent idiots like bolt used this unresearched cherry-picked tosh to great effect.

still early days and its yet to be seen what the coalition will do about reducing pollution

last i heard theres a direct action plan of billions and billions of dollars for the clean up of old power stations - financial incentives to the big polluters, reforestation,  programmes and other renewable energy methods

if you look at the over all picture (globally) and studied it scientifically you'd realize its still all a waste of time and money, innit?

So live in our own filth is the answer Joz?

I'm a granny so have a different outlook perhaps, never too late 🙂

Close to one third of the world's current population is already starving because there's just not enough food being produced to feed them.

Unless steps are taken right now to address the issue, when the world's population has doubled in less than another 50 years and there's insufficient food to satisfy ourselves, let alone export to other countries, I predict a breakdown of civilisation as we know it and a shift to total anarchy where only the strongest and fittest will survive.

I think that Australia could easily produce enough food to feed its' population.

it's just that primary producers often don't so much produce food to feed Australians as they do produce food to export to produce more money for themselves.

From what I have read it isn't so much Carbon as Methane that is the biggest worry, and that is produced by all sorts of situations... live stock, land fills, and anything alive that passes wind.

America seems to be trying to find a way of using the gas, which is now also being released from under the ice in the Arctic.

It's best to Google it and wade through the masses of information than me try to pass it on...  

Yes the climate is changing and I suppose we are not helping (it would make a big difference if, for a few generations people were more circumspect about having large families) BUT I don't 'live in my own filth' and I doubt any other thinking person here does either.

Most of us are responsible enough to being doing out best, but it really isn't just ordinary people like us that are the problem, it's the big companies  reducing forests, polluting the oceans... dumping massive amounts of rubbish on the Barrier reef (for example) that are the serious concern.

We take the blame and are made to feel guilty because no Govt really wants to start in on the massive control the big companies around the world have on us all.
