the cheapest way to reduce GHG emissions
Jun 29^th, 2024 at 8:41am

https://www.ozpolitic.com/green-tax-shift/economics-hopeful-science.html

Quote:

Economist have issued a statement of consensus on climate change. It has been signed by 2000 economists, including six Nobel Laureates. As well as acknowledging the reality of climate change, they also point out the most effective way of addressing the problem:

Economics studies have found that there are many potential policies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions for which the total benefits outweigh the total costs. For the United States in particular, sound economic analysis shows that there are policy options that would slow climate change without harming American living standards, and these measures may in fact improve U.S. productivity in the longer run.

The United States and other nations can most efficiently implement their climate policies through market mechanisms, such as carbon taxes or the auction of emissions permits. The revenues generated from such policies can effectively be used to reduce the deficit or to lower existing taxes.

And look where we are now.

And you have Booby as the moderator for Environment, a climate change denialist.

Do you feel any impetus at all to support informed and earnest discussion on this topic?

I'm sorry Fleadriver, do you require flattery to be inspired to do the right thing?

Let me know. I've been trained to placate the male ego, as most women have. I just tend not to bother, it doesn't serve me.

But it seems to really matter to you. Have you thought about why you need random women on the internet to placate you?

not crankier then usual.
just vibes with negativity

i had an aunt like that
the family took her on a great trip to hawaii (we were going to hike the napali coast.

she had a great trip, she got to complain about the airline food, she got to complain about the cab driver, she got to complain about the room.

thats why you dont need to ask a whinger if they are ok

whinging is what feeds their soul
insulting people is their energy source

they look at the world and "find what they vibe with .....pain and unfocused discontent"

to get back to market mechanisms

who benefits?
follow the cash

who are the grifters in the climate industry?

i dare say they are the same grifters as in the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the homelessness industry, the aboriginal industry, the NDIS industry.

they are people who see a pile of cash and then back rationalise why they are doing it to save the planet and not to line their pockets.

humans are the biggest back rationalising species ever created.

they (the virtuous grifters) are so self deluded, they dont even know they are doing it Grin

I think i've made it pretty clear about how i'm feeling about you pretending to champion measures to counter AGW whilst running the kind of forum you do.

Just as i make it clear how i feel about how you run your forum to you every time i elect to slum it with you.

Were you confused at some point? what led you astray?

Australian Aboriginals did not need industrialization.

so why do they complain so much in the current day about not earning as much as whitey or having the same health outcomes etc as him? can't they all just move back to the bush if that's the case and enjoy their ~33 yr life expectancies, astronomical rape and blunt force trauma rates etc like they did before whites arrived? what's the point of the closing the gap campaign if the type of society they embrace or are inherently predilected to create has no regard for the variables that constitute 'the gap' in the first place?

do you think a land mass as large and resource rich as australia would have been completely left alone had anglos not rocked up in the 18th c?

You haven't engaged in an argument with me, precious. you've simply asserted you're right to whinge and i'm rejecting that on the grounds that you're nothing but a low down disgusting little nazi.

well maybe the general impression you glean is because i'm just a lot more persuasive and have better arguments than people like you or LTYC which is why less people are trying to 'discourage' me than you would like

maybe the people here who disagree with me can try not being stupid instead of making arguments that amount to "you deserve to be kicked in the balls"

What, so you can drone endlessly on about immigration even in a thread about AGW?

Seriously ... how relevant do you think you are?

it's a completely relevant question to AGW? that's why i brought it up. population and where it is distributed is central to the discussion of AGW. old school environmentalists including bob brown used to talk about this all the time. i'm sorry if you're just too stupid to make the obvious connection between carbon emissions, the number of people on the planet, and most germanely where those people are located. it gets tedious having to hand-hold you through every single discussion like this.

it was LTYC who tried to make some irrelevant point about abos and turn the discussion into that

FD has very little understanding of the carbon cycle

if animals dont eat the grass, it probably burns and releases all that carbon plus some

well grazed farmlands do not but we all saw what the "lock the gate" policies of the greenies achieved in 2019

Australia’s devastating bushfire season is likely to have released 830m tonnes of carbon dioxide, far more than the country’s annual greenhouse gas pollution, according to a government estimate.

If compared with international emissions, it suggests the Australian temperate forest bushfires between September and February would rank sixth on a list of polluting nations, behind only China, the US, India, Russia and Japan.

i doubt a few farting cows release as much as the 6 th biggest nation on the planet.
and if you pull those cattle off the land, i can assure you the bushfires will be catastrophic Cry

Oh what confused bunnies we all are; I agee with your critique of aquascoot, but I would critique you exactly as you have critiqued aquascoot ....and no doubt you would return the favour.....

Ouch.

It's time for the failing liberal democracies to step aside for benevolent authority, if we going to end the current political chaos including dealing with climate change.

Starmer is out there saying "we have to believe that change is possible - mimicking Obama's failed "yes we can"; but the Brits know change is not possible with adversarial parties arguing over taxation levels. (Starmer has already said he won't increase taxes - hence we already know he won't stop the decline in the UK's standard of living and public infrastructure, while the rich get richer).

Your idea of Lock the Gate must be different to mine.

I was of the belief that it was for property owners who didn't want mining or hydraulic gas fracking operations on their properties?

I had no idea it meant Lock the Gate to having grazing animals eating the grass on said properties. Roll Eyes

As well as non ruminant herds of wild horses.

How big did the "great migratory herds" of European bison get?

Look it up.

I did. They formed herds of about 10.

I notice FD started this topic in General not Environment.

Environment is a wasteland where the environment is never discussed.

Time for FD to boot Booby as Mod there. I suggest he appoint Sad Kangaroo as new Mod of Environment. Even part time Sad will do a 1000% better job.

That and a crackdown on racism, abuse etc—actually applying the rules—will give OzPol a chance to recover.

If you want to reduce methane, so the story goes, you need to reduce ruminants.

There is only so much steak you can eat. And a lot is not good enough for the urban elite. That is why it is also exported live. Roll Eyes

If you took out the domestic ruminant herds of sheep and cattle ....

and the great migratory herds that man hunted for food were returned ....

you would have the same problem ..

because they were & those that remain are all ruminants.

What great migratory herds were there in Australia?

Ahhh so green house gases and AGW isn't a global problem ... just Australia specific because there were no migratory ruminant herds here.

It has nothing to do with the global herd(cattle,sheep) that all you fear mongering AGW alarmists claim are farting the world into extinction?? Roll Eyes

So you don't care about the cost?

Whether a mechanism is reliable or not depends entirely on the political will behind it. Building a wind turbine or nuclear power station by itself guarantees nothing.

Like I said, by itself it guarantees nothing. Same as wind and solar. It produces more electricity, that's all. This is what the narrow minded approach of the coalition completely misses when it comes to finding the cheapest way to reduce GHG emissions.

Whether a mechanism is reliable or not depends entirely on the political will behind it. Building a wind turbine or nuclear power station by itself guarantees nothing.

Well today we we know Trump will "drill baby drill" (and the adoring crowd roared their approval).

Trump says the whole AGW-CO2 thing is a hoax, so he will reduce the cost of US electricity, by burning the world's largest resevoirs of fracked gas (in the US).

That leaves China, with minimal fossil reserves and the world's most advanced PV industry, to show the world how to eliminate GHG emissions.

[Twiggy should move to China: Xinjiang is already producing vast quantities of solar energy which is not yet connected to the grid - an ideal location for creating green hydrogen (assuming the technology for hydrogen- smelted green steel is at hand)].

Your phukhead mate Bowen was recently filmed saying he isn't anti nuclear it's just that renewables and nuclear are incompatible.

The biggest lie he has ever uttered ... considering most countries that have nuclear generation also use coal fired & renewables in the total mix to have reliable power supply.

And you have Bobby as the moderator for Environment, a climate change denialist.

Do you feel any impetus at all to support informed and earnest discussion on this topic?

No I'm not but you are a climate change alarmist.

It's funny that you say it like it's a bad thing.

But the "alarm" went off years ago.

The ship has sailed, thanks to people like you.

Too bad you won't be around to face the consequences of your actions.

Wouldn't that be nice.

But but but Booby is all about intellectual discussion in the Environment toilet errrrr MRB!

Now what this intellectual discussion is to be about I am not sure, seems to be about cats and dogs which is odd considering the little puke’s board is called Environment. It is as if the Thwaites glacier isn’t about to let go and slide into the sea, as if plastics esp microplastics aren’t everywhere including the human scrotum, as if species aren’t going extinct at a rapid rate of knots!

The above is what passes for “intellectual discussion” in the Environment toilet of a board.

I know. But you wanted to prove yourself. Don't forget most is covered by both water and methane. Wink

The same as you. That's why they have satellites to determine that that exits the atmosphere. Then they guess what remains, with wide eror bars. Wink

“Probably warmed” wow talk of having the courage of your convictions!

So what has the increase in far IR emitted to space mean?

And FYI satellite as well as terrestrial measurements of global temperature both show an increase in temperature with indications of an increase in the rate of warming starting 9 years ago. That the three La Ninas in a row didn’t show any great cooling is probably confirmation of this increase.

The oceans do not emit net CO2 despite their warming a tiny amount because the 50% increase in the partial pressure of CO2 prevents that.

Tell me lee, a body that increases in temperature would it emit less IR, the same amount of IR or more IR?

Satellite measurements, like tree rings, are proxies. Do you have the error bars for that? What are the error bars for the terrestrial measurements? And I will give you a hint - it is not 0.2C as stated by HadCrut currently and not 0.34C way back in 1850. Wink

So give us the figures instead of propagandising.

We even get outgassing in the polar regions.

BTW - You do realise you haven't posted on how "cheap" renewables are. Wink

Yes.... Asia, the Indian sub-continent & SE Asia throw/dump everything thing into their streams, creeks & rivers.

In some countries the rivers are like giant slow moving glaciers of plastic.

The evidence of this washes up on all our remote islands & coasts.

This(aka micro plastics) is a far more serious issue than GHGs & AGW.

Stopping this pollution would be far better than worrying about fossil fuel emissions(especially ours) & wasting billions/trillions on renewable projects that are not & never will be green, clean & the energy from them "free".

You can thank that idiot Fred Hilmer for convincing govts that they can't have a monopoly & to place electricity generation in the market environment.

That's one big reason why our power prices are so high.
