You nasty developing nations stop your carbon emissions immediately or Scotty will stamp his foot.
Australia's carbon emissions of 10x per capita of those of the developing world are holy, blessed, and cause no harm to the planet. Even Australian cattle farts are saintly. https://www.9news.com.au/national/scott-morrison-ipcc-report-climate-change-global-warming-developing-world-carbon-emissions/2691ce3f-1a9b-4a0e-a496-1e31c0e5b877 Quote:

He's right - first world emission cuts are swamped by third world emission increases. And China - get this - is counted as a third world developing country for emission. :'( :'( |

Interesting maths. The developing world has 66% emissions and 70% population. We can't ignore that wisdom from Scott Emissions.

Title: Re: Australia blames developing world for AGW Post by Agatha on Aug 11th, 2021 at 9:50pm
China, 30%
Oz, 1% Oz is cutting back on the 1%. China is building more coal fired power every year than Oz's entire emission. Because it's a 'developing' country. :'( And there are morons in Australia and the West who buy this swindle. |

Wow. Such a non-believer. But he is wrong. He is too conservative on population. According to the IMF the population of developing countries is about 85% of world population. https://www.worlddata.info/developing-countries.php And the emissions?

Yeah. And in 10 years time, third world/developing nations might get to be 80% of the carbon emissions and 90% of the world's population. And their solution to cutting carbon emissions would be to dump their excess population onto the first world minority who will have to scramble over the years to find places for these new 'migrants' because-because-because the average person in the developing world in 2031 may only be producing 7/10ths the amount of pollution as the average first-world person. How about adopting an idea that the first world has made their own mess and have started to make great strides in cleaning them up? And that the third world could learn from the mistakes that the first world has done and develop their economies with sustainable energy sources? The first world had not a precedent in place to learn how to deal with pollution, when they developed industries. The third world does. |

Hey LTC , I was supporting your views. This is from your quoted site: "We cannot ignore the fact that the developing world accounts for two thirds of global emissions and those emissions are rising," he said. 66% This is 10 years old but still is relevant. "The vast majority (70 per cent) live in developing countries." https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/popfacts/popfacts_2010-6.pdf Of the world population in 2016 (7.5 billion), 6.1 billion people, 80%, lived in developing economies. https://unctad.org/system/files/official-document/tdstat42_FS11_en.pd So they are less polluting than OECD by populations. This may be of assistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum "by a hundred") is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%" |

The bottom ten countries on the list of emissions per capita have less than one-tenth the emissions of Australia.
NZ is half the emissions of Australia per capita. UK and other European countries have ~one-third the emissions of Australia. Developed countries have been polluting for over 100 years.

The developed word has benefited from pumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere for centuries and is now complaining they are being asked to do more....Why should anyone do anything if those who have the ways and means and benefited the most leave it to others....Responsibility and accountability are hollow words when they are not supported by action....We all suffer the consequences of AGW and must all do more to reduce emissions where ever possible instead of passing the buck like the Coalition always does when faces with a challenge!!!

Australia could pollute the same amount for the next 29 years and it will not do any considerable damage worldwide. But, China would need to reduce its industrial pollution output by about 50 times to be a decent non-polluting nation. |

If China put in place technology that reduced its industrial pollution by 50 times, that would be a fantastic attempt at reducing global carbon emissions. But, the reality is that an amazing attempt at pollution reduction would be if China reduced the pollution output by 10 times. Australia could theoretically be carbon neutral and have clean energy and marginal pollution compared to what we have today. The only place that would benefit from this would be Australia. It would still be reason enough to implement these strategies. The rest of the world would still be polluting like usual. |

ScoMo can whip the undeveloped world for the European record temperature of 48.8C in Italy.

"There is no way you can write the sentence, “The treasurer of Australia, Scott Morrison, came to question time with a lump of coal on Thursday,” and have that sentence seem anything other than the ravings of a psychedelic trip, so let’s just say it and be done with it.
Scott Morrison brought coal into the House of Representatives. A nice big hunk of black coal, kindly supplied by the Minerals Council of Australia. “This is coal,” the treasurer said triumphantly, brandishing the trophy as if he’d just stumbled across an exotic species previously thought to be extinct. “Don’t be afraid,” he said, soothingly, “don’t be scared.” No one was afraid, or scared. People were just confused. " |

Globally, many more people die from cold than from heat. A new study in the highly respected journal Lancet shows that about half a million people die from heat, but 4.5 million people die from cold. As temperatures have increased over the past two decades, that has caused an extra 116,000 heat deaths each year. This, of course, fits the narrative and is what we have heard over and again. But it turns out that because global warming has also reduced cold waves, we now see 283,000 fewer cold deaths. You don’t hear this, but so far climate change saves 166,000 lives each year.

Title: Re: Australia blames developing world for AGW Post by chimera on Aug 15th, 2021 at 1:53pm
Floods are the major cause of disaster deaths at 65,000 average /year during past 20 years. Global warming probably influenced this.
There are 500,000 on the edge of starvation, also influenced by warming droughts. These will increase over time. |

Interesting. The deaths may be reducing by dam-building (as on Yangtze, China) and modern famine relief.

Amazing - the heaviest polluters are responsible for the heaviest pollution problems? Who'd 've thunk it..
No wonder so many in the world think We of The West are weak, decadent and stupid... when we've got self-professed experts coming out with utter crap like that as if it's The New Gospel ... FFS.............. On the other hand, Blacks and women are not responsible for their own doing... it's all the Old White Man's fault.... any Accredited Victim Group is not responsible, under the feminist-sponsored 'Critical Race Theory', derived from Feminist Mania, for any wrongdoing (The Oppressor Has No Rights - ergo, The Oppressed And Only The Oppressed Has All Rights, Right Or Wrong, To Destroy The Oppressor - no wonder those farken Neo-Nazis are stirring - Inevitable™, innit?)) ... what an utter load of codswallop. No wonder some little pin-dicks think they can lord it over us these days... gonna cost one hell of a lot of blood, sweat and tears to restore sanity. Afghanistan falls - Taiwan next since the West is so weak..... blood, sweat and tears... the only thing that can possibly save the West from itself is another major conflict in which there are no holds barred and in which the issues are clear - it's either us or Invasion/Enslavement to some incredibly pissy 7th Century mindthink ideology. Until they hit Pearl Harbour, the common folk in America had hardly heard of Japan.... All those years since the 1960's, when the young ones started to disapprove of things and demand change for the better - swept down the storm water drains into the endless sea of death and destruction created by petty tyrants the West thought they could convert with Silver Bullets. |
Title: Re: Australia blames developing world for AGW Post by Frank on Aug 16th, 2021 at 4:37pm
The bottom line remains that every Australian is being asked to reduce our economic prosperity by transferring wealth to China and elsewhere.
China has in recent days reiterated that it will in no way amend its current settings under the Paris Agreement targets, which leave China free to carry on increasing its carbon emissions for the rest of the decade, at which point it pledges not to reduce them but to maintain them at that heightened 2030 level. Paying lip-service to the IPCC report and by turning up in Glasgow for COP26 in November, as the Prime Minister intends to do, is to acquiesce to this insanity. |
