Without wanting to offend anyone I ‘m sorry to say that most of you gentlemen do not have clue about realities of life when going gets tough. Australia had it good for at least last 100 years and the population has been to the large extent isolated from man made disasters that affected rest of the word. Australia is indeed “lucky country” and I very much hope it will stay this way. However if all the people of Australia start pushing in different directions it will eventually be end of “lucky country”. Most of great civilizations ended this way. I’m sixty years old and been living in three different countries. I base my views on life experience not on how it should be, based on moral, environmental, religious or whatever view. And I s@!t on visionaries as Che Guevara, Lenin, Hitler, Marx to name few from recent history as their social experiment caused deaths of millions and life long suffering of tenths millions people. Starry-eyed journalists fresh from university don’t cut ice with me, they may have great ideas but they don’t know what they talking about. If you are really honest about this global warming debate as yourself following questions. Because if you are going to radically change economy and political system of your country those are situations that you may find yourself in. How many of you have been shoot on by the foreign forces invading your country? How many of you did have to bow and appear to accept ideology that is contrary to your believes? How many of you have ever been hungry? I don’t mean being stuck in traffic jam for couple of hours with no KFC or Mac Donald’s in sight. I mean really hungry when you eat very little for weeks and then nothing for two or three days. When the piece of months old rock hard bread covered in green mould tastes really good. In that situation if you come across last koala in whole word and if you and your family is starving, you are going to kill it and eat it regardless how “green” you are.
Nuclear power will become more and more spread, regardless if people like it or not. The fear of nuclear weapons being developed by the countries with nuclear power is baseless as to day any industrial country can develop nuclear weapon in few years
Alex got probably best advice that come from this debate. Global warming – if its coming for what ever reason - adapt to it and make money from it. This ability to adapt and to take advantage of any situation is what makes us dominant species on this planet. Did our the evolution come to the end.?
