    Posted in The Lounge » Climate Change Confusion

    Because - get this - simultaneously they're herding globalist politicians en masse over the same lemming cliff called "sustainable energy". 'Ilarious innit.
    It's the latest conspiracy. Just like abolishing slavery, organised labour, pluralistic democracy and gay marriage.
    Someone is making lots of money out of this and it's not me. Want to guess who? Twiggy Forrest, Malcolm Turnbull, the Holmes aCourt family - the list goes on.

    You seriously think they're pushing catastrophic climate change because they think it's real? Of course it's not real but there's money to be made.

    It's real and there's money to be made... and lost. After all who are backing the denial campaign.

    Don't muddy the science with economics. Attacking the science won't change it. I have more respect for someone to be upfront as it's not their problem and don't want to do anything about it.

    I believe the trend in greenhouse gas emissions won't be stopped let alone reversed before 2050 and by then other factors will come into play. However it will drive more efficient technologies for both generation and consumption of energy. In the absence of hot/cold wars and a space race, trying to address climate change is a good thing.
