Do you think mankind can really change the weather? 

You just keep on tilting at windmills marble ... just don't waste my taxes on it.

according to people a lot smarter than me mankind has changed the weather - are you living in a cave ? or maybe your just thick - sorry no maybes , you are thick

It's just a theory marble ... there are many others, they are just harder to make money out of.

BTW, the vast majority of people who believe that it is manmade, are not as smart as you ... and therein lies the biggest problem.

July was the hottest month in recorded history, globally measured, but chilly in Hicksville VIC or wherever you anti-science people live.

Well I would have been more than happy for it to have been considerably hotter here in Sydney over the past few months.

I get the impression from countless posts that anyone who disagrees with you on any topic is mad and in need of meds. Have I got it right, just checking Thumbs Up

"in recorded history" ... is that using the manipulated figures?

btw, how much warmer and how much more CO2 do we need to optimise global crop yields?

Labor TRYING to be honest.

Labor would have rejected Pacific coal calls: Wong

Labor would have rejected calls from Pacific Island countries for Australia to phase out coal exports, taking the same position as the Coalition, frontbencher Penny Wong said on Sunday.

Criticising Prime Minister Scott Morrison for his government's failure to curb carbon emissions and effectively address climate change after he split with leaders at last week's Pacific Islands Forum, Senator Wong said she too would have rejected a push from the Tuvalu summit for Australia to ban coal.

"Of course not," she told ABC TV.

"Coal remains an important industry for Australia and it remains part of the global energy mix.

"But the point is that these negotiations proceeded on the basis of an Australian government which did not understand nor respect the importance of climate to Pacific Island nations and did not bring to the table any realistic policies to reduce emissions, which is the core of what we should be doing as a responsible nation."

Mr Morrison fought strong language about carbon emissions and coal production during lengthy negotiations, ahead of another meeting of world leaders at the United Nations next month.https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/labor-would-have-rejected-pacific-coal-calls-wong-20190818-p52i9g

Are these pacific island leaders lobbying China, America and India hard on carbon emissions? The filthy 3 of greenhouse gas emitters.

They didn't have much luck with our leader on the weekend. China will fix things for them though, and everyone will go out of their minds about China consolidating it's influence in our area(former) of influence.

Trust the Islanders are thinking of their long term futures if they engage with China.

If China gets a hold for military bases their homes might become Manus island scenarios.

Who will be their "friends" then?

New Zealand?

Labor must feel as though they dodged a bullet by not winning government, not having to make grown up decisions.

I posted the following under another thread, but have posted under this thread.....


Jacinta Arden, the left's poster girl, was the biggest hypocrite at the recent Pacific Forum on Climate Change. This woman had the hide to criticize Morrison over Australia's coal production, of which NZ has little need, because it's blessed with its own own thermal and geophysical advantages to produce power. However Arden ignores the amount of greenhouse emissions NZ produces from livestock emissions in the form of milk, butter, cheese and meat, which BTW were nowhere to be found in the Paris Agreement Agenda.
Sometime back The UN Food and Agricultural organization, in a document called Livestock's Long Shadow declared that the livestock industry contributed between 14.5 % to 18% of the world's greenhouse emissions, more than the entire transport sector, so more than all of the cars, planes, trains. ships etc. 
So after stationery power generation, ruminant animals may well be be the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions because of their methane emissions.

What did Arden say about NZ's reliance on its agricultural production and its effect on world greenhouse emissions......NOTHING.

They seem to like her over there and Kiwis are pretty moderate politically. Like David Lange standing up to the Yanks made him a legend, Jacinda standing up to our feckless Tory bullies will play well domestically I would think.

In other words when there where massive herds of wild hooved creatures - before man even tamed them the greenhouse emissions where worst than today?  We are trying to bring back some wild creatures with many of them ruminant animals.  So are we doing incredible damage or the right thing?  Look for every step someone finds something else to blame.

How about we concentrate on what is good for the planet - ie get rid of plastic and try to live the best we can and not waste the worlds resources.  

There are so many threads here that are so muddled with name calling and not trying to understand that we are all trying to live the best we can that its amazing.  I though this was a horse site - it definately was when I joined.  Now mostly the posts are in sports or general and alot of that is just name calling.

What about the planet itself.  Surely the volcanoes etc also add to the greenhouse effect - or do they push the other way towards ice age.  It doesn't matter which.  At the moment we have to sort out ways to get water to the growers of our food.  And we have to stop mining in viable land areas.  The two just don't live together and I'd prefer to buy Australia grown food and having to import all our food as farmers leave the land in droves.  You can't blame them.  They owe the banks and just can't get any income.  If the water was available they would need alot because the land is so depleted.  Even here at the foot of the mountains the land just won't take water anymore.  It is just dust.  It's 100% worst over the other side of the mountains.

So the government have to get off there backsides and sort that problem out.  Or every piece of land will be owned by the banks and they just sell oversea or to the mines.  And yes we may have to farm differently and be much more water saving in the cities.  But Sydney people have done it before and can do it again.  And farmers have been water conservers since day one in Australia.  I've had bucket washes in the country years ago in girlhood in the lusher areas of the south coast of NSW.  The drought had stopped the creek running back then and water was very short.  That bucket did five of us.

For some reason for every step forward we take three back.  Like putting in light rail trains over lines which where closed down.  Like building roads and then charging to drive on them but making it hard to get to some places without using those roads.  Get public transport going in all directions and I'd take it anywhere.  The roads aren't safe and I've lost my nerve with trucks almost tail ending me twice in the last few months!

Coals is looked upon as bad.  But due to the last election coal has been given the right of way in Australia.  Even if some of us would like to cut back on some mines especially where they are on prime land and we all know that when they finish that prime land won't be the same. 

I just saw a report of a bomb blast at a wedding.  Hate and my way or the highway is responsible for so much bloodshed today.  We all worry about our world and what is happening which seems extreme even to me but point fingers and name calling won't help.  If the government wants to keep coal mining then they have to prove to the islanders and NZ that its the best way to go.  If they can do that then they will be governing not just running rough shod over our neighbours or us for that matter.

Labor or liberal, coal mining was going ahead; it is about jobs.
Lets be asking each other what personal measures we are taking to help the planet.
Continue to recycle; the governements have to work out what to do with the waste. I would have thought that should be a no brainer for some entrepreneurial type.
Plant a tree.
Build a tree canopy to reduce the use of air conditioners.
Dont eat out.
Avoid plastics when shopping.

As for diminishing posters in the horse sites, rally them up furious.
It is a free world.

Great chance for OUR youth to step up. ( the people of Tuvalu might be worried however, missing out on the work)

I suspect if the pacific islanders continue to blame Australia for their woes the aussie PUBLIC are going to get a bit annoyed.

Talk about biting the hand that helps you.

Grass is not always greener on the other side.

As for Jacinda Ahern lets see how its going at the next election.
