Why don’t we just let the world’s population increase and most on here just sit back and think the Earth will cope with it!

Clear fact is the problem has gotten worse with pollution (as always increases) and this is linked with the worldwide population increasing!

I truly think bring in a 1 child policy worldwide as Copenhagen has proven to how blinded and in denial the world is.

Trouble is most people on here also don’t get it and would rather be blinded and spruik forth shallow views and be in denial!

As the population worldwide has increased so has the problem and all the short term band aid fix to lessen greenhouse gases is not the answer as extreme short term. Reason for this is population will still increase and so will demand on resources and pollution they cause!

People are blind!

You know things are bad when humans are not only causing the Earth to suffer climate change, but can also drag down mars in the same way. I just can’t believe that what we humans are doing on earth has caused Mars to experience similar changes to us. Man made climate change is now affecting Mars, we are really screwed.

The newly hyped SIDI Commodore is greener than the diesel i30.

That shows how blindly every one thinks

Who would have thought the much bagged Commodore is greener than prossibly every diesel on the market???

Save the plants, create more CO2! Come on people, the data just does not support the hype. Temps are FALLING…. please explain how the rising CO2 can be linked… seems like some divergence is happening….. http://www.controlmycarbon.com

There’s a lot of arguments back and forth to why this is an important issue or not, on how little Australian efforts would matter in the whole scheme of things and if car emissions are important enough to even draw all of this attention.

Now, fact is, per capita Australians pollute more than i.e. Europeans, whose lifestyle is comparable to the Aussies. CO2 car emissions are at around 150 g/km over there while the number for Australia is around 215 g/km. Most people use their cars for short trips or on straight highways with speed limits – types of travel that we could use more environmentally friendly cars/engines without noticing the difference much. So why not just go for it and stop the whining. Why pollute more than we have to? Why use 1.2 l of petrol pr 10km when European cars travel the same distance on 0.5 litres? Changing our driving patterns and the cars we buy would make us pollute less, save us money (Due to petrol prives) and be environmetally friendly. Lots of countries (especially in Europe) will reward you (reduced taxes) for buying a car with low emissions an vice versa increase taxes and costs for those who pollute the most. Great idea which should be imposed here as well. It’s an easy thing to change and would also reduce other emissions that directly pollute our local environment – someone seen the smog in some asian cities??? Yes, they have a way to go to reduce their levels, but that doesen’t give us an excuse not to act. It’s ok to say that we all can make a difference…
