It tells me that with the lack of Independent journalism in Australia, such attempts are futile. Public opinion is dominated by the media.
The UK don't have huge coal reserves, and they are actually taking positive steps against carbon emissions. They also have a Conservative government.
What does that tell you?
When the demand for Australian coal dries up (as it will), will you then change your mind, or will the media change your mind for you?
There should be bipartisan support in Australia for a transition to a carbon neutral economy.
I have voted Liberal all my adult life because of other factors. Even if the ALP said they were going to bring in a carbon reduction scheme, I wouldn't trust them. Their track record is not exactly glowing.
The mainstream media is very heavily skewed in pushing the CO2 doomsday scenario have you heard the way they tell us the weather these days its more like a phenomenon than a daily occurrence.
It would be nice to see the media present the scientist that are on the other side of the fence when it comes to AGW.
So the people can hear both sides of the story.
Oh that's right I forgot
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO DISCUSS THE SCIENCE OF AGW.
Now why would that be, if it was sound and true the sceptics would be shot down EVERY TIME.
Well if you dislike coal so much stop using anything that has to do with it......
