It’s the goal is to improve things and educate people about choices they can make. It’s depressing that so many are so self unaware and point out the failings of others without seeing themselves in the mirror. Two steps forward and one step back seems to be the way.
When you view from “humans are extremely tribal” and conform to their tribal beliefs you see a fundamental problem in shifting views. Most tribes seem to be unconsciously selected, sex, race, country etc.
A bloke I know loves his Land Rovers but also loves tinkering. Electrifying is a great project for him. Personally I wouldn’t waste the time or money but people have their passions.
From what I’ve seen, it highlights that the most pressing change with the least resistance is to get off coal and oil as quickly as possible. Agriculture requires too many people to change for it to happen quickly which is why the fossil fuel lobby love to use it as a red herring.
He’s an old man who won’t be around for all the disasters he’s caused to destroy his family. A narcissist focused on himself as usual.
True the GST probably was the biggest but people remember gun control more and the CGT discount not at all.
A lot have already died. I’m hanging out for Rupert to drop off. Pity about his son.
The real dastardly thing is that they knew but went down the tobacco lying path. It means that while we (worldwide society) burnt the fuel, big FF have a special place in hell due to their lies.
I suspect that there will come a time soon where declaring that you work for the fossil fuel industry won’t be something you want known.
I thought that the ban is on non compliant bikes. Go too fast is a no no. It’s in reaction to kids using them as motorbikes (which a lot of them are). You can still buy them but they only assist when you pedal and are speed limited.
It’s as John Howard set it up. It’s what we got with bible bashing John.
There are a lot of indigenous people not given any recognition. I’m sure the supporters of Pauline’s One Nation are keen to continue the suppression.
In thrall to arguments or just in thrall? It seems that the current mob are actually activists for their patrons.
I’ve been in Indonesia and it’s like that. Lots of rubbish everywhere. What is encouraging is that there appears to be a campaign to recycle and clean up. Some places are a fair bit cleaner now but you still see some flagrant rubbish tossers out and about.
I thought hmmmm, this may be happening.
A lot of diesel is used in agriculture, maybe unnecessary agriculture.
The actual benefit of solar is that it is widespread so that cloudy days are less of an issue. Obviously storing the excess is a major objective too.
I often think that a lot of climate denial and inaction is a product of haves and have nots. The haves are panicking that they will become have nots. There will be a lot of push back from the billionaires about this. Even a tax on exporting fossil gas from Australia is too much at the moment or so it seems.
It proves that you just need a coalition of the willing rather than trying to build a consensus of the recalcitrant.
Be interesting to see how the economics work for it. They aren’t built overnight and the world is moving faster to renewables every day. It may never be commissioned as it is a white elephant.
We grew up with as kids so for most Aussies we are familiar with it from an early age. On toast, in soup, in a cup of hot water, a casserole etc. There are a lot of ways to eat it but I prefer it in a homemade vegetable soup.
