Most of everyone else would agree that it is a lack of political will.

Thanks for the article. Your thoughts are probably similar to mine in that carbon capture probably is part of the solution but it’s hard to see how the volume of CO2 captured can be ramped up enough to be meaningful. It is certainly meaningless if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels.

36,000 tons a year and how energy is needed to sequester this piddling mount of CO2? Leaving the pre-sequestered stuff on n the ground is definitely cheaper. Bring on the carbon tax.

Well it makes sense as the people banning abortion are also making sure everyone has a gun.

Sounds like Russia is keen on active war with NATO.

I thought that Israel was planning to turn it into high resorts and accommodation. All that needs to be done move those inconvenient Palestinians out.

One of the smarter members of society. At least he attempts to vote.

There are ads on the radio in Perth that are spruiking how essential methane is to industry. What’s most annoying is no mention of the devastating effects on the climate crisis. Greenwashing at its finest.

Melanomas have an irregular shape. Is this asterisk considered regular?

An amazing photo however it’s mind boggling that anyone thought that cutting it down was a good idea!

Here I am, surprised that the US has troops in Chad.

Interesting to see authoritarian and libertarian as opposites given the GOP behaviour.

Hmmm, is this just human nature at work? Is it a function of the conservative mind like it’s never their fault?

I suppose that once you have laws that allow blocking one type of site then other sites will be pretty easy to be added. A precedent sort of thing. Done once then others will follow.

Pretty amazing that piracy is such a hot topic such that freedoms can be curtailed but everyone’s right to an AR15 must be protected.

Oil bosses say that the world will suffer climate calamity because we won’t give up burning oil. Or is it that they are addicted to the money and can’t give it up?

It’s a big problem and I don’t know if the science behind this has been tested. Still, every little helps!

Do we know how much there is and how much we will need? Seems like a huge problem. Maybe electrify everything and transition the economy to low carbon is a safer bet.

Is a radical idea that has insufficient study to give us confidence that it will work as intended. Research is necessary.

Certainly the major effort behind this as a solution is the fossil fuels industry as it smacks of a tech solution that deflects from the fact that we aren’t focused on rapidly reducing greenhouse emissions. There is a lot of these and the underlying problem is that CO2 pollution is continuing unabated. Greenwashing until emissions reduce.

Sounds reasonable if you think of the country as big. Attracting migrants is necessary as the birth rate in most educated countries is negative so the population, if left to itself, is declining. Migrants will mostly want to live in cities and probably the bigger ones with more opportunities. The infrastructure will mostly be needed to expand the big cities which will make them a lot less inviting. That might be less of an issue as everything electrified on the way to a low carbon economy, the smog will reduce as will some of the noise.

He will be brought back into line by the oligarchs. There has already been talk of Gaza being prime beachfront land. They definitely don’t want it radioactive ☢️.
