OMG IT MUST BE GLOBAL WARMING! WE ARE ALL DOOOOMED!
You listen to 3AW in Melbourne do you Ann? Or News Ltd.?
I listen to Macquarie too - Jones, Hadley, Price & Bolt. But I try to take a balanced approach and separate how they make their money (through being an advocate for their Advertisers and Business in general, cash for comment sort of) and what is truth/fact.
I don't know what to believe. All I know and believe is that whoever is lying (the Academics or Right Wing media) should be locked up.
I don't listen to the radio DK, I rarely watch television other than documentaries or now sometimes the new business channel. I do read non-fiction books. I was shocked into investigating CC after my adult son began speaking of CC in the manner of a fundamentalist belief system. My (then) uneducated argument to him was it is too one sided, there is no debate from both sides of science, there is too much propaganda associated with it. Plus when the "science" makes me laugh, then I know for sure it is a con (farting cows). I am pretty good at spotting a con and it had all the ingredients of a con for my taste. I have now read a few books on the subject and am happy it is a con.

As I said to my son, you need to follow the money trail. We need to work out who has the deepest pockets and with the most self interest.
You are so right there Ann.
It wouldn't be the coal and oil companies would it ?
I don't know what or who to believe.
The scary thing is our entire existence is at stake. A Royal Commission into G.W.?
Imagine if Human Beings (and alot of other species) become extinct because of Right Wing idealogy!
Royal Commisions, gotta love talk fests! Of course nothing to do with the recent ice age we are moving out of?A Royal Commission into global warming? you do realise we contribute 1.8% to Global Warming.
While we are talk festing on this, no one is asking how the next government is going to change their lives, I guess that is the new facebook generation.Royal Commisions, gotta love talk fests! Of course nothing to do with the recent ice age we are moving out of?

It absolutely amazes me.
Try again Rumpy...

You do realise if we shut down Australia completely, switched everything off, went and lived in caves.
It would do fluck all, to the global warming outcome, or do you think it would work some sort of fairy dust magic?
I don't mind that we make changes, but I do mind when it puts my kids and grandkids into poverty, for no benefit.
To me that is passing on the costs of my warm feel good I'm a great human, to the detriment of my kids and grand kids, for no good reason other than my self esteem. It is a it like kicking the ball down the road, we make life changing decision for the next generation, I just hope they are happy with them.
Just my opinions.
Snap, I'm with you, don't have facebook and hate funerals.Geez sptrawler I always thought it was up to the individual as to how one changes one's life. I never have had the victim mentality. I also don't have facebook. If my friends decide to die without notifying me first then, tough just another funeral I don't need to go to!
Well, each one of us contributes very little, a very insignificant amount to the CC issue. By that logic, why should each one of us do anything.
On a per capita basis, Australians is pretty much up there though.
btw, did you know that the Trump admin recently follow the same line of logic in not giving a damn about their cars emission standard? Well, they actually went a lot further...
Their argument goes like this... Meh. CC might be real, might not be. If it's real, the rate the world's going we're all stuffed anyway, so what's the use of curbing emission?
Seriously.
Cheaper fuel? Less pollution so it choke those living near highways less? Just general economy?
Meh.
Hippies?
Elon Musk? China?
Not making fun of you alright. Just at the ideas I heard floating around about CC being fake, bought and paid for by leftist, socialist, communists, fake scientist...
