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!

What car is it again???

That shows how blindly every one thinks

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

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…

Yes plants do grow quicker the higher the co2 levels up to the saturation point. I think we’ve already past this point

Unfortunately the effort to reduce emissions has to be a world one and if we do nothing who is going to listen to our side of things at the various world summits?

Keep in mind you posted the video, I watched and posted my comment. Simple. The retarded yank on the youtube video who is looking for the smoking gun so he can make a case for doing nothing. And is just hoping the climate problem will just all just go away.

Are you able to answer my previous question in relation to what ppm is considered healthy air???
Increased co2 will actually promote growth!!!!!

What happens if we totally turn about face and end up with zero co2 being added to our atmosphere??? thats worse!!!!

whether or not we are behind other countries on this subject really depends on which stats you are looking at and what you want to break it down into.
for eg if you add up the volume of atmosphere over a particular country, then divide our emissions into it, we are probably smacking the world silly with our targets.

I know its no excuse for us to spew stuff into the air, but here in OZ we can afford to.
Its like a person with an active job or whatever can afford to have an extra pie for lunch, where as someone who isnt active cant afford to.
the person who is active will burn it off in the same way our atmosphere will cope with our emissions easier than say China

“Science is never a closed shop and encourages debate/challenges on any theory”

Spot on, thats why I fart in the face of religion. Anyone who watches “An Inconvient truth” should also watch “The Great climate swindle”.

“What a pathetic bunch we are”

Yup, we’re all scared that if the greenies get their way. The only cars we’ll drive in the future will be hampster powered, single seat shopping scooters…..with large 20″ rims, taco + shift light, and a blacked out rain cover.
