The war against renewable energy

[SaintsSeptember]

Assuming you also think that the UK, Italy, France, Spain, UAE, Qatar etc. shouldn't bother doing anything.

I didn't say we shouldn't do anything, i said it doesn't make any difference if we do or not.

UK is interesting, their CO2 per capita peaked in the 1970s, and is as low now as its been since the 1850s.
Their use of gas and nuclear gave them a pretty good starting point maybe.
15% of the electricity in UK comes from Wind and Solar.
27% of the electricity in Victoria comes from Wind and Solar.
Yay the english....boo for australia cringe cringe cringe.

45% of the electricity in Spain is from Wind and Sun, an amazing achievement , but....guess what the bulk of the 55% is.
72% of the electricity in France is from Nuclear. 3% comes from gas. Why should they worry about doing anything? Their electricity has less than 10% the CO2 of Germany.


Germany are a basket case, when the "Greens" got in they shut down the nuclear power, causing them two emit 73% more emissions over the last 2 decades.

Yes yes. Murdoch has instructed its drones to mindlessly regurgitate this fallacy as loudly and whingy, wherever possible.
Do you also think no individual should pay tax?

Huh...
Which fallacy are you suggesting i regurgitated. Where are you suggesting i got it from?
The fact that i haven't really read anything about it from the Murdoch press means your state-of-the-art online pigeonholing of people is well off the mark. You don't have a clue about me, i suspect that you don't have a clue period. You're just regurgitating some left wing crap about murdoch.

Tell me this, if Australia could stop emitting ANY CO2 in 2025, what would be the affect on the planet?

The planet doesn't care about "per capita" China is INCREASING its emissions. China is putting out a lot of emissions.
The island of Palau in the pacific has around 3 times the emissions per capita of Australia.

Can you accept that the island of Palau is really insignificant in the grand scheme?
Show me any mathematics to suggest that Australia is any more significant.
If you nuked Australia tomorrow, and we put out no more CO2 in future, it wouldn't make any difference to what is happening globally.

China stupidly bred themselves into a state of overpopulation, they acknowledged that and took steps to stop it, but that doesn't automatically give them the right to fill the atmosphere with CO2.

In 2024 the world emitted 37.4 Billion tons of CO2 from fossel fuels. Nearly 1% higher than 2023.
more than 10 of those Billions came from China.
The USA around 5 Billion.
India around 2.9 Billion.
Russia 2 Billion.
Japan 0.8 Billion or less.

Australia around 0.44 Billion.
International Shipping 0.7 Billion ( and increasing ).
Air transport - around a Billion.

If you arrive here from outer space with the task to stop us putting CO2 into the atmosphere, you'd be pretty stupid to put much focus on Australia.

Australia has reduced their emissions since 2005. The world has increased them by 37 Billion Tons.

China should soon be to the point where their emissions start going down, but they will still be pumping out around 10 Billion tons per year every year.

If you are on a boat and its taking on water at 300 litres per minute, ( a drum and a half ) the leak up our end of the boat is 4 litres.

By the way, Australia's CO2 per capita has been dropping fast, ( probably due to immigration and de-industrialization as much as anything else ), its currently the lowest its been since the 80s.
The CO2 per capita in China is still increasing.

Absolute crap. Per capita has everything to do with it, as a rich nation we should be leading the way.
Oh and bad China is reducing its emissions … peak reportedly was in 2023.
The reason CO2 is dropping in Australia and China is because of renewables …. 4.2 million homes in Australia with roof top solar.

If you stopped paying tax, what difference would it make to Australia's tax receipts?

Next time, before you mindlessly regurgitate the rubbish you've been fed, try thinking it through. If you're intellectually capable.
