Yes, the mass extinction event driven by poor policy allows the mass transfer of wealth out of Australia. The Labor liberal coalition are unelectable

We must get money out of politics. Politicians are bought way too easily.

Rather than upgrading to genuine democracy, let's continue to fiddle around at the edges of our existing electoral/Party governance system. One day of heavily-constrained (Who will run the show? Option A or option B?), badly disinformed (voter choice based on election campaigns, which some say are bullshit) every 3 years is more than enough. We'll find a way to get it to work effectively. One day.

Yeah but the Fixers don't work for the people.

​@@beesplaining1882 the last three spawning periods have been the biggest and most successful spawns in the last 20 years and the health of the reef is the best its been in the last thirty years. This horseshit that the reef is dying is a money grab from pieces of shit at JCU and several tourism operations down in Cairns that are getting millions in green subsidies. 🍺🇦🇺

ah yes the classic "pay the government more taxes to change the weather"

This is why we vote greens I’m afraid labour you need to grow some 🤘🏿

Why is climate change for the worse Richard given that the climate does change and will in the future change? What is the optimum climate for Australia as although the climate may have changed somewaht we have markedly increased the well being of our citizens? These are fundamental questions which must be confronted before we decide on future actions of the extreme sort you favour.

You must be closely related to Dunning and Kruger.

The war on CO2 is insane (literally) , It contradicts both physics and biology, The world needs far more CO2 not less. The climate is controlled by the sun and the planet's albedo (dust mostly) not a relatively minor trace gas with a minuscule shielding effect. The total warming effect of all the 'man made' CO2 added to the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution is just 0.3 degrees C. (easily calculated from the shielding value of CO2 and the Stefan Boltzmann law) However in just the last 50 years the increase in CO2 has lead to a doubling of 3rd world crop yields per hectare. (1st world yield have quadrupled in the same time thanks to fertilizers and better seed weed and pest control not available to the third world) 50 years ago humans could not produce enough food to feed 4 billion people with an average of 1 million famine deaths per year. Thanks to the rise in CO2 humans are now producing enough food to feed 8 billion people with about 25,000 famine deaths per year. The climate is following the solar Gleissberg cycle 100 years ago and America went through the dust bowl, 50 years ago the planet cooled (so much so that the climate doomers of the time were pushing 'imminent ice age' drivel. The cause of climate change; The actual basic cause of climate change is sun spot activity' Lots of sun spots (big black spots on the sun's surface) reduce the energy that reaches the surface of the planet and the plant cools. Fewer sun spots = more sunlight and the planet warms a bit

The AIMS recent survey showed the GB Reef has record coral levels. The mass scale clearing of biodiverse ecosystems for 'renewables' and the associated 5000% + increase in mining for critical minerals to support them will do far more environmental damage than present levels of mining. The Australia Institute needs to be called out for spreading misinformation and propaganda.

Please cite your AIMS survey reference. Your argument, that renewable energy sources would have a worse effect on the environment than present mining, is contrarian and juvenile. You sound as though you work in the marketing arm of the Minerals Council of Australia.

Wiki States "The Australian Institute of Marine Science conducts annual surveys of the Great Barrier Reef's status, and the 2022 report showed the greatest recovery in 36 years. It is mainly due to the regrowth of two-thirds of the reef by the fast-growing Acropora coral, which is the dominant coral there." Just look it up in Wikipedia.

@@attilajuhasz2526As reported in the Australian 9/8/23: "Hard coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef has remained at a historic high level despite a widespread bleaching event in 2022, the latest Australian Institute of Marine Science long-term survey has shown. The long-term monitoring program is the most detailed and longest running survey of the GBR and is conducted by towing divers over reefs to visually inspect them, mainly on the mid and outer shelf. The 111 reefs surveyed provide a representative sample of the reef, which includes many bio­regions and all the management zones of the GBR Marine Park. Hard coral cover in the northern section of the reef, north of Cooktown, in 2023 was 35.7 per cent; the central region was 30.8 per cent and the southern region 33.8 per cent." So the North and Central zones are at record levels, the South is stable.

@@attilajuhasz2526 Take EVs for example, they use 400% to 600% more metals than an equivalent ICE, but these are trace metals at very low concentrations compared to iron ore, bauxite etc - something like 12 times lower and even less. So it's an easy calc to show a 5000% increase in mining than current levels. If its mining you hate, you'll hate Net Zero.

Oh My God... Learn something NEW? A ' TESLA COIL ' , can fix all the environmental problems BUT, it can't be metered. ie, the Fat C-ats can't make money after the sale of the coil, and people will work out how easy it is to build one for themselves! Id love, love, LOVE to see the 'Australia Institute' do a complete AND thorough docugation into the Nichola Tesla's coil tech that has been available since the onset of the industrial evolution (devolution)! Due to the fact that mainstream media pays to renew its licence to print/air annually, it wouldn't surprise anyone to see coil tech being debunked. Gettin' schooled yet sheeple?????????!
