Energy, the environment & climate change.

Anyone know what caused the recent black outs in California and Texas?

How much was lost to their economies as a result?
 
America to decide what Australia's climate warming policies should be over the next 30 years rather than how we decide to transition over many decades to cleaner , cheaper electricity generation keeping jobs here in our country while China laughs all the way to take those jobs and import low grade turbines and solar panels using slave labour to do so back to Australia using our fossil fuels to do so.

China using fossil fuels to power their transition to reducing poverty in that country polluting over 50 per cent of world CO2 emission and the rest of the world thinking a Country that reneged on Hongkong , will renege on Taiwan and can't be trusted on any so called agreements they make in the Economic and Political sphere will not continue to build coal fired power stations well into the second half of this century and beyond (LOL).

How deluded can the Western world be to trust China on their word on anything when it comes to the CCP.

Take a long running jump USA and China off a short pier into the rising sea levels.

the Paris agreement is no more than a China agreement and we will do it our way , having met our commitments on Co2 emission reduction to date unlike New Zealand and Canada for example to date paying lip service to emission reduction.
 
Sorry to dig this one up, I watched this last night, it's partly by Michael Moore so best taken with a pinch of salt but it shows the holes in the current green movement and also basically why we are fu**ed.

A lot of people/companies making an awful lot of money from so-called environmental schemes without really giving a flying f*ck about the environment.

Got a friend who works for a well known recycling/waste company. They're decent and follow the correct protocols, but my mate said it is shocking how many bullshit "recycling and waste removal" companies there are out there who are just poisoning the earth. Dangerous chemicals being stored in the ground with no protection near rivers etc, all to make quick cash.

It's a dangerous game to play as the fines for a breach of environmental law are potentially unlimited (usually to cover court costs and cleanup cost, which can be in the order of £Millons).
