Australian Chief Scientist: 5 years to "save the world"

4 December, 2009 by Simon

No alarmism or exaggeration there. Mark it in your diaries for the 4 December 2014, because in five years time, it will be too late, we may as well shut up shop, and all commit harakiri. But the most astonishing thing is that this isn’t from some sandwich-board-wearing religious nut, this is from our Chief Scientist.

THE planet has just five years to avoid disastrous global warming, says the Federal Government’s chief scientist.

Prof Penny Sackett yesterday urged all Australians to reduce their carbon footprint.

Australians – among the world’s biggest producers of carbon dioxide – were “better placed than others to do something about it“, she said.

“Australians can make an enormous contribution, so why would we not rise to this challenge and this opportunity,” she told a business conference in Melbourne.

Professor Penny Sackett was so confident of her prediction that she didn’t  issue a caveat. I’d like to do that now. I urge all people with cc bills, utility bills, car repayments and other financial commitments to honour them.

I wonder what qualifications are required to hold down the position of Chief Scientist? Would it be ownership of a white lab coat? Maybe hours spent in front of a mirror trying to master the art of looking serious.

I’m sure Professor Sackett was part of the claque that delighted in giving the tag ‘denier’ to the naysayers so it might be appropriate to label Professor Sackett as a person who once held the position of Chief Codologist.

Good thing she-el is, is that if the world is about to end in a few hours then that will be the end of this thread too LOL

And now we only have a few hours? That's two bad. Isn't their anything too do about it?

There saying in the papers that their is going to be a real two do if their isn't an effort made to by countries too reduce they're greenhouse gas emissions .

To little, to late.

well, honestly. Unless you can get EVERYONE to stop buying rubbish from China and everywhere else.......and learn how to upcycle and re-use stuff AND close most factories/manufacturing.....means no jobs/losing jobs in 3rd world countries.........in a nutshell get rid of 'money' .....

Good Luck with your fantasy though. I like it

[iapetus_rocks]

What fantasy? oh, you mean my spelling? I thought I'd put it words that people here can understand.

in a nutshell, get rid of money?

Oh, do be careful what you wish for. The ultimate means of social control is the abolition of hard cash currency  in favour of an electronic credits "cashless society"

.

I don't believe the article stated the time the world would end on Dec. 4, so I'm assuming we have until midnight to be gone.  It's only 10:00 AM on Dec. 3 for me.  I'll just check in later to see if you all in Australia are still here. 🙂

For those who believe the Bible....it states that no one knows the day, not even the angels in Heaven.  I like that scenario best.

to iapetus: ref.  ....

The ultimate means of social control is the abolition of hard cash currency  in favour of an electronic credits "cashless society"

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

yes. Exac-a-tactly!.....A persons wealth (and survival) in the not so very far future will not be determined on/by how much cash or cashless credit they have

Assets will take on a whole new meaning

Now that advertisement is a little scary.  Wonder how many contacts he received?  Especially since he had only gone back in time  once before.  LOL

paintsew, stay safe down there. 🙂

Well it’s December 4th and I thought I’d be swapping stories with Ronald Weinland, Harold Camping, Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite et al but such is not the case. Does anyone have Penny Sackett’s phone number so that I may check in and see if we have until midnight to party on.

Penny Sackett please contact us and give us an update.

why the Dickens would you include a qualified scientist (mind you the only woman in your list) with cult leaders, evangalists and 'crazies'?
