Q: Are new liquid airline fuels good climate policy? A: Pigs might fly.
by Mark Carter
Minister Madeleine King again pretending Planet carbon content can afford non stop growth in airline traffic.
Yes, fossil fuels are bad, burning carbon from previous millenia but biofuels from crop oils and sugars are only borrowed like a bank loan. It gets paid back to atmosphere very quickly, no net gain.
Don’t we need, desperately, Citizens Assembly to try to make sense from this nonsense? The Minister is also rubber stamping $3Billion for 3km 3rd runway at Melbourne airport, more in Sydney.
How can they say policies are reducing emissions when they pull tricks like this?
What is carbon footprint for USA military base in West Australia? The AUKUS nuke sub base south of Perth? Also Tindal air base, near Katherine up north in NT, now being upgraded to take B52s and army bases along northern coast of NT for big US Army exercises?
