Christina Henry, Bangalow
In response to T Petroff’s letter, ScoMo is a PM who has failed the Australian people in multiple ways. From corruption, including deals for water as a commodity, to the delusion of a surplus – our economy is rapidly going down hill according to his own department.
Coal subsidies, the lowest mining taxes in the western world, and lack of vision and policies contribute to this. His attitude towards climate change is a crime against humanity whitewashed with so many lies. He says we can’t risk jobs by taking climate action. Yet jobs in their thousands are being decimated in the tourism industry because few people want to travel in or come to a country on fire and burned out.
I blame him for refusing to listen to or take advice about the predicted catastrophic fire season. No, it is not normal that a fire season lasts half the year and burns right around Australia.
No PM has ever responded to a devastating national emergency by denying it, and saying it’s a state responsibility. Or by absconding to Hawaii in the middle of a disaster, or by waiting months before taking action after vast areas of forest and bush, people, homes, animals and eco-systems are destroyed.
No, it is not normal that we have record-breaking temperatures around the country and an unprecedented drought, however much he would like us to accept that. ScoMo is definitely not my PM – he is an aberration!
Right on, Christina. And in the midst of all you’ve mentioned
we now expect the ‘rains’ to come & our leader will call that
a miracle absolutely refusing to accept that the rains too are
Climate Change intensified… & then the fires will take over
once again along with drought. Science truth is what’s
needed… immediately. Every country’s on alert.
‘Science truth’ immediately ! Australia’s chief scientist has told Parliament that if Australia reduced its 1.3% of emissions to zero the effect on world temperature would be virtually nothing. This letter is just more from an alarmist denier of Australia’s natural climate, seizing upon any event as being ‘unprecedented’ without providing any evidence, unthinkingly getting carried along by the emotional media emissions of alarmism.
Anton…. to take out of context to create something
that is not so is a lip service to avoid the truth. It
is not Alan Finkel’s simple statement we all heard,
rather Professor David Karoly [once head of our
Climate Change Authority] who, on finishing his
term says that without someone to replace him
the Authority can’t fulfil its Legal Mandate. The
‘chief’ scientist is not a chief as such. Our
emissions – per capita – are very high [we play
with the numbers]. We also export masses of
harm in global terms & that is why [check out
the ABC] 250 Australian Scientists signed an
open statement calling for urgent action on
our emissions.
Stephanie….. find me some evidence from your 250 scientists that if Australia’s emissions were reduced to zero it would have any effect.
Do a search yourself, Anton. That way you can sit
with your own thoughts & accept that we are the
the largest emission suppliers in the world due to
‘greed’? It’s got nothing to do with aussie jobs. See
it this way. Imagine a movie. A cashed-up person
employs another to take a life. Who’s the criminal?
Add an ‘onlooker’ who pretends he knows nothing.
Guilt by association; the first 2. The 3rd, a wimp.
As you refer to it as greed Stefanie!
This very greed supports welfare
Which incidentally has doubled in the
10 years . Why has welfare doubled
This past 10 years Stefanie ? such a expert
I know the answer, maybe you can work it out for
Yourself!
Gina & Clive [maybe Bonnie & Clide?] can answer
your question Barrow, along with the rest of the
free-loading multi billionaires getting fatter each
day. I don’t understand your query. However
I do know that the population of this country is
almost double what it was. Still, that has nothing
to do with false emission targets & how the land
is being flogged off to Adani plus the rest of the
robber baron-mateship at Parliament House.
There was a ‘crooked man who walked a crook
-ed mile – who flipped a crooked six-pence and
smiled a crooked smile.’ Judas-like people &
their followers give me a headache.
Anton, there are 274 scientists to choose from but
Professor Nerilie Abram [climate researcher] calls
for action to reduce global emissions of green-
house gases. Along the same lines the BCA [aka]
Business Council of Australia has also released a
paper outlining their proposal for a net zero
emissions target – a carbon emissions budget &
an assessing of Climate Change risks. With that,
I sign off.
