True, but if enough people start individually not doing them, then it will make a start on CC.Individually not doing these things won't fix CC
This is the beauty of carbon pricing. You don't have to make big sacrifices, just lots of little ones you barely notice.The amount people do and care is directly proportional to the amount of inconvenience they are prepared to put up with.
could you live without a TV? - could you live with out a car? - What about air con?
I find most people that preach about climate control to be massive hypocrites.
I assume you mean "change" not control?I find most people that preach about climate control to be massive hypocrites.

Presenting climate science results in hypocrisy? I try to discuss climate science on here, keeping it on the agenda.
As @Oddjob's stated, carbon pricing (especially the fee & dividend model) should be adopted everywhere immediately. At least the EU has had the ballz to do so:
I fear that acting with this model only at this point in time will be too late to address the issue meaningfully though. Science suggests we need to move to immediate rationing & a WW2-like reformation of society.
It's something we can & should tolerate. We are tolerating being locked in our homes for the last year!
No we didn't. Tax does not equal price does not equal fee & dividend.We did that already. Apparently it was ruining the weekend or something. I’m still waiting for my $550 Tony….

So subtle. So important. CC needs more subtlety.
It was not the same as that proposed in Hansen's presentation, there are major differences in the application.
Hansen's version is different in many ways, these being two:
- Money collected stays out of the govt coffers, all goes to the citizens
- All citizens get the same payment
Fee & 100% Dividend — OSS Foundation
The “Carbon Fee & 100% Dividend” presented by Dr. James Hansen has the best potential to initiate cause and effect that will lower CO2 emissions. Fee and dividend is the policy complement that must accompany recognition of fossil carbon reservoir sizes for strategic solution of global warming...ossfoundation.us
The govt can never be allowed to dip into the collection, and it can't be a tiered approach. Makes way more sense to me.
So proud. Look where Straya is now.
