I was looking to see how many have fled Newcastle but anyway I came across this instead.

Nah that's confused with another Newcastle. No way would all those coal ships on the horizon be moving coal!

You're probably emitting an astonishing amount of carbon dioxide in your daily routine
Few people would stop to consider if their sporting activities damage the environment. But our research shows Victorians use a huge chunk of their "personal carbon budget" driving to and from sport events each year—either to watch or participate, or to transport children.
Try not to drive to a trailhead peeps!

Coal aside, don't overlook our grain silos and chemical plant when it comes to dusting up the place. We've got so much more depth to our pollution than just the coal bed.

Alfalfas don't come in Rosso Corsa (red) sadly, only British racing green.
Industrial fallout is a shit thing all round. I live beside a main road and I can dust furniture off and about a day later it looks like you never cleaned it.

Its ok though. We can just carry on with our lives as though nothing has happened.

Yeah unfortunately so, when I wipe the windows down the microfibre towel looks like it's collected black soot. I often run a water evaporator fan with a filter in it.You are breathing in that shit!

When I lived in Sydney, I lived sandwiched between a transformer sub station, Epping Road and the northern railway line. The constant hum and zap from the sub station was a little disconcerting, and we couldn't dry our clothes outside as they would end up black with coal and brake dust. I lived there for a year before I made the call it was too damaging to my health and moved.

Floods, storms and searing heat: 2020 in extreme weather
While Covid has dominated the news, the world has also felt the effects of human-driven global heating

Just an excerpt from the article, read it.

But that was all because we didn't do enough back burning. There hasn't been any catastrophic bushfires yet this year because last year we burnt up all the fuel. It was the Greenies fault.

2020 was dismal in many respects but it was a landmark year for renewables in Australia | Simon Holmes à Court
As we kick off 2021, state governments are embracing decarbonisation to popular acclaim
www.theguardian.com
The main issue with this article is the conflation of electricity & energy.
As of a coupe of years ago, Australia's total energy needs were 23% met from the electricity grid. So crowing about the electricity grid being increasingly run by renewables ignores the fact we need to transition the other 77% of energy needs to non-FF sources. In other words, electrify everything, or use hydrogen or whatnot. The task ahead is enormous, the time we have left is tiny.
Maybe? Maybe? It's science & maths, the answer is no!

We still have time, its the rate of emissions reduction that's become virtually impossible to meet.

Time for what? There is always time to make it less bad, but it’s already happened. Shut it all down today and we still get 2 degrees plus with what’s already in the system.
