There is a chasm between global climate policy-making elite and activists and researchers who see the world hurtling towards climate breakdown

But when ranked among countries that are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – a group of 38 nations generally regarded as being developed and high-income – Australia ranks first as the bloc’s highest emitter per capita.

Now this is what you call intermittent!
Ontario’s nuclear fleet, often touted as the framework for the Coalition’s nuclear plans, will see each of its nuclear power plants off line for at least three years each over the rest of the decade for refurbishment, prompting the grid operator there to commission some of the world’s biggest batteries, and more back up power.

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?
Clear explanation here that 70% energy consumed in USA is waste from fossil fuels. So just 30% of previous total consumption for 100% by Renewables, because no waste!!

At this point you also have to ask: is it really “Australian LNG”?
Australian governments don’t charge royalties for gas drilled offshore, so we give it away for free and they end up paying bugger all petroleum resources rent tax (PRRT). And if it is drilled onshore the government excludes it from being subject to the PRRT.
It’s a sweet deal for gas companies – they have got us both coming and going.
And who is doing this exporting? Not “Australia”.

What a clever country!! How can we be as stupid as this?
“Under a “high-emissions scenario”, temperatures by the end of this century will likely rise between 3.2C and 5.6C. And a high-emissions scenario is one in which governments keep approving new gas and coal mines!!”
