Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

[happy_tiger]

I would live next door to one happy. Not that it would happen as there would be an exclusion zone anyway.

And watching your property value fall by half overnight wouldn't be an issue CB ??

Missed the thread, but are you talking Wind Farms?

I know the South Australian plan to have free solar panels installed on houses. These are paid for by the excess electricity not used by the house going into the grid.
Likewise I have heard of some wind farms offering free power to those that have them on their farm, along with the rent and whatever contract signed.

We have two wind farms coming , Geo and Hobbo

Seriously we have one at Yarwun (about 8 kms out of Gladstone , on the old Aldoga site ) and Miriam Vale (60 kms south )

NSW will be providing half the State's electricity with pumped hydro…that's not the sort Byrons into btw,....Water..

Love to know where they are going to get the water? Maybe import it from China. :laughing:

Hey Col. Read an article you might find interesting.

https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/donald-Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon-claims-military-may-build-border-wall-if-democrats-dont-provide-funding/news-story/35e6bd401438698fbe3ff6d9c9b6cdba

The reason why I thought you would find it interesting is because you were arguing black and blue months ago that the wall was already being built.

The reality is, 2 years in and it hasn’t even been started. And it was his biggest election promise.

Certainly would as the emissions from many such a Chinese factory is from producing the excessive amount of goods consumed by 50 average Joe type families in their lifetime. Obviously, this makes our footprint considerably worse than the already three times per capita average produced on our shores, but unlike the ignorant, you already know that, so I was somewhat surprised to read that.

Not sure where your getting this from. On average a Chinese person now has the same carbon footprint as a European citizen. So no, our footprint is not worse, unless you are comparing us to African tribesman who spear their dinner and wash their clothes by smacking it on rocks down at the river. Is living a third world existence appealling to you?

We aren't going to agree on this, as you have your ideology firmly in place. Just don't expect it to lower the sea levels anytime soon.

Not ideology, an opinion based on facts, some of which you ignored when replying above, as per capita emissions are totally different to a carbon footprint. I have spent a short time amongst those living a third world existence and thoroughly enjoyed my time there, as I always do when visiting villages in developing countries, so I suggest you trek to a remote village to sample for yourself.

How was the plumbing?

:brick:

Obviously archaic and probably nearly as much so as the thinking of the guy which you see reflected in a mirror.

They are talking nuclear power stations(reactors).

Ah, So free 3 eyed fish!

Not if I am never planning to leave, no. At least I'm at the start of the power line too :wink:

Going by the ITER fusion reactor collaborative effort in France, we're at least two decades away from any meaningful experimentation. Then the rollout of reactors elsewhere. We need a baseload stop gap, and it is not coal. This also does not mean I think we should give up on solar or wind. Homes should certainly have solar if affordable and be as self-dependent as possible.

Attacking the man instead of the ball.

Sad little man.

I'm playing both.
You are saying Nazi's invented a modern phenomenon and shared it with the Soviet Comrades a mere 30 years before it was invented? As above^ it's sillyness, Hitler did not dance with Stalin and George Soros, to create this great term. This is fantasy.

So why would you say such fiction on a football forum? You post in the politics area a lot but arn't mentioning much about Brooks, Lawrence or the Tigers?

And you're failing at both. Badly.

People with IQs in double digits can read for themselves what i wrote. I didn't say the Nazis invented PC, I didn't say that the Nazis and Soviets communicated, and it is a historical fact that "political correctness" was not invented in the 1970's.

So the obvious question that has to be asked is, why are you arguing about something which you evidently know Zero about? That's not an insult, you actually know Zero about this topic.

It took you two days to come up with a reply in which you literally struck out on every point you made. There should be some kind of award for that … maybe the Ahmed Bajouri Trophy For Excellence.

I am failing at Nothing here.
So while you accuse me of "playing the man and not the ball" your first statement is "People with IQs in double digits can read for themselves ". You're not watching the ball that much.

What you are asserting above is an insane rewrite of history.. Nazi's and Commies did not get together on Propaganda.
They just did not. END.
They did not collude on this. It's utterly ridiculous to assert Nazi's and Communists to have invented 'political correctness' together. That's on the "Martians have invaded earth" spectrum of wacky.

I am happy to hear people's views out, if they are reasonable. What you (or some crazy blogger) have done is co-opted two things you don't like (Nazi's and Commie's) to have invented something you don't like 'political Correctness'.
There is no Fact there. No reason, nothing.

What you are saying above is Pure Propaganda. The kind that leads to Orwellian states like the Nazi's and the Soviets.
I like my freedom, stop hurting it.

Wow you're thicker than i gave you credit for .

I'll write in short sentences for you.

You're arguing against yourself here. I said none of the things your writing about above. You obviously don't fall into the double digits category. I'm actually feeling sorry for you at this point.

The moment has passed. This was last week's conversation. So now you can move on with your life and find some new imaginary post to argue about.

Good day.

 

[Abraham]

Well then we disagree. It will take Joe and his family 50 lifetimes to produce the amount of emissions that one of those Chinese Factories produces in an hour. By all means look after the environment in your day to day life, that's fantastic, but don't pretend you're lowering global temperatures in the process.

Certainly would as the emissions from many such a Chinese factory is from producing the excessive amount of goods consumed by 50 average Joe type families in their lifetime. Obviously, this makes our footprint considerably worse than the already three times per capita average produced on our shores, but unlike the ignorant, you already know that, so I was somewhat surprised to read that.

The self aggrandizement is thick in this post. I just wonder to myself , if you thoroughly enjoyed your poverty tourism so much, then why did you come back to your first world lifestyle in Australia?

I don't need to trek anywhere to sample other people's suffering, because that was my family a generation ago.

I shouldn't need to point out that living a third world existence is not a goal for any person. Especially those living actually it, and not just ducking in to pat themselves on the back.

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint by heating a tin of baked beans over a burning pile of leaves for dinner, then go for it. I prefer my air conditioning, my flushing toilet, my on-demand hot water, and the carbon footprint that goes with it.

And guess what, so does literally every other person alive today. That's why no-one sets a goal to become poverty stricken.

Sorry, i'm going to walk back my comments above for a moment, and clear something up.

Are you actually promoting living a third-world existence so we can reduce our carbon footprint?

That's what i got from your post, but something may have been lost in the translation.

Wrong again. Parts of it have started. The rest will come shortly.

You may get something right over the next six years.

Ah the personal attack. No facts to argue so let's just denigrate someone who doesn't agree with you.

Deniers are bad people, who don't care about the planet as much as us believers.
