Says you. Consider the possibility that I might actually know what I’m talking about?Your suggestions are ludicrous, your actions counter productive.

Agreed... This is a good example of why we are fucked. Everyone brings their own value set and experience based interpretations to the table. Add in the usual greed and stupidity of humanity and it was probably a non starter to begin with...never mind

Now i'm certainly highly uneducated on this whole subject, but a quick google search shows that transportation is 14% of the contribution, compared to 50% combined for Electricity/heat and farming agriculture.They are unnecessary.
And it's about what we do now, now we know better.
I'm never going on another o/s flight. Never. I'm trying to demonstrate to others that they too should be making such changes to their glutenous behavior.
Tell me how else we can make a difference - and don't go down the "get involved in politics" dead end. Any change there would take too long to enact & only a fool would expect a satisfactory outcome anyway.
Yep it can't be regressive, I am not for regressive taxes and absolutely don't want to disadvantage the poor. Tied to actual carbon emissions, the rich would pay a fair(ish) share. How to do that? Considering people don't want to do even simple things themselves, or those things are too much sacrifice to what they've come to expect from a happy life, it's not looking good.How about this, instead of placing taxes on to the poor for "breeding", how about we lift them up through higher education and better/fairer employement prospects.
Give people education and meaningful employment and the population growth slows. All that taxes like that will do is keep the poor in poverty, please stop placing more economic burdens on the poor.
We have to stop fighting each other for crumbs. Demand a slice of the cake.
Actually I was in the process of saying that I travelled a LOT for work and that despite arguing the point I was told to do so. Perhaps 90% of it was unnecessary and could have been done via videoconferencing and I would guess that that was pretty much the case when I talk to people who try and justify their business junkets because their boss makes them do it. I pushed back a lot and canned multiple junkets that me and my staff were invited to. Made me really popular...Agreed... This is a good example of why we are fucked.

huh? What pleas and commentary? And what has being wealthy got to do with anything? Was it a company focused on emissions reductions, or something with a big footprint of its making useless widgets?...It is 90% bullshit. In case anyone is interested I was the Aus/NZ head of the local division of a multi trillion dollar international company. Thus your pleas and commentary are lost on me.
Not in the office, but the AC unit in the lounge that I fixed myself a couple of years ago after the tradie said it wasnt fixable is humming along nicelyenjoy your nice air conditioned office tomorrow Harpies, hope it doesn't break down and require some useless tradie to go out in 40° heat to fix it!

see how it goes tomorrow once it exceeds its maximum ambient design temperature!Not in the office, but the AC unit in the lounge that I fixed myself a couple of years ago after the tradie said it wasnt fixable is humming along nicely
It was an easy job, I was a bit bemused by the ac shop’s diagnosis...see how it goes tomorrow once it exceeds its maximum ambient design temperature!
you fixed it your self, must have been an easy job
I noticed the same thing. I am currently writing a (R&D for high-tech manufacturing) grant application; there is basically never any requirement to substantiate claimed jobs created after the fact so long as the work is done on time. Government don't even want to know, I suspect - it's usually politically inconvenient information for both sides of politics.With you on that one @hifiandmtb - what fuckstick bureaucrat approved that, for the sake of 2,000 "potential" long term jobs. And for more oil FFS - why go looking for more of the stuff we need to stop using?
