We were third, now we are first, therefore lack of action in Australia.
The UK for instance has made massive inroads into emissions over the last 10 years under a Conservative Government.
The other mob will be a shoe in next election. Maybe.Just shows how perthicaly political the Australia lack of policy is under consectervive conservative governments here, still apparently its all good as long as the other mob don't get in.
But what are the source of those emmissions?We were third, now we are first, therefore lack of action in Australia.

But what are the source of those emmissions?
Personal consumption, industry, electricity generation, mining, transport, agriculture, livestock industry?
Why are we higher than the US?
Perhaps the Oztrayan individual (vis a vis, "per capita") is being unfairly maligned?

Can we get such graphs for other comparable countries to make some comparisons?
I had to Google what they wereGee, we have a lot of fugitive emissions. Better catch some of them. (Dad Joke)
Energy policy is a national issue, so the blame lies squarely with the federal government.When you consider electricity is our major emitter, add to that our manufacturing has declined and our smelters have reduced, I guess you have to lay a lot of the fault for high emissions at the feet of the general public.
You might as well, everything else gets laid at their feet, heaven forbid people should take some responsibility for their own emissions.Energy policy is a national issue, so the blame lies squarely with the federal government.
Germany, which has comparatively poor insolation strength generate 4 times as much energy from solar than Australia.
So if you do want to blame the general public, then blame those who voted a Coalition into power which then destroyed Australia's world-leading carbon pricing mechanism, and put more power back into the grid through fossil fuels.
You probably haven't been keeping up with the information Rob, but Australia has just about reached the limit of how much solar can be installed ATM, now we need to upgrade the transmission system and install some storage.Germany, which has comparatively poor insolation strength generate 4 times as much energy from solar than Australia.

This is about a failure of POLICY.You probably haven't been keeping up with the information Rob, but Australia has just about reached the limit of how much solar can be installed ATM, now we need to upgrade the transmission system and install some storage.
Again, how does the "general public" get involved in the "electrical network?"To compare Germany's electrical network with ours, is absolute nonsense, as you well know.
IT isn't a failure of POLICY, it's an orderly transition, without the public paying for it.This is about a failure of POLICY.
You tried to blame the general public, and if you have been voting for the Coalition, then you are part of Australia's problem with respect to it's clusterfarq of an energy policy.
Again, how does the "general public" get involved in the "electrical network?"
ANSWER: We do not.
You need to work out the difference between the role of government (and their attendant policies) and the part played by the general public.
You are completely wrong.IT isn't a failure of POLICY, it's an orderly transition, without the public paying for it.
The U.K is the fifth biggest economy in the World, on a small land mass, that is connected electrically and fuel wise with Europe, it also has a population of 66 million people.I suggest you look to the UK to see what they put in place in response to the "Stern Report" to get a simple picture of what POLICY can achieve.
Get a grip Rob, it will all work out o.k despite you running around in ever decreasing circles, with arms flailing.
