Which begs the question, why keep going on about it?This article should put fear into everyone. Earth for our survival is stuffed.

To get the cheeks turning back.
On my station wagon I have a sign on both sides in bold letters "Climate Emergency" and only today a bloke asked me if it was my car and he said "congratulations on what you do"
We must try.
Another option might be to use the solar/electrolyser/hydrogen process to replace current natural gas use in a home. Can work but the cost effectiveness seems puzzling.
Good point, perhaps.Something I'll note about the cost issue in the context of residential use is that it doesn't necessarily need to be the cheapest option, it only needs to be one that consumers are happy to use.
It's only in trade exposed industry, anything where we're competing with the rest of the world, where paying an extra 1 cent / kWh kills the idea stone dead. With household, you could in many cases double the cost of doing something when compared to the cheapest option and it would still be a goer.
For home use hydrogen powered cooking, heating etc may well prove to be popular even if it costs twice as much as electric. Comes down to marketing, consumer preferences and so on not just price.
Nah. Wind and solar are far cheaper to generate electricity.AGL has already stated they will close their coal generation, if consumers are prepared to pay the extra money required, presumably to replace it.
That is very true Bas, the thing is they want someone to pay for their replacement.Nah. Wind and solar are far cheaper to generate electricity.
The coal stations are at the end of their life and replacements costs and running costs not to mention the environmental impact makes them dodo's .
Snowy 2.0 and the Tassie battery, should in reality give a lot more head room to install renewables.
From my experience gas is the preferred cooking medium for cooks. Easier to control and so on.
Another point in the conversation is the advice of installers and companies selling products. If they are making a better dollar on a system and/or if it is an easier install there will be more encouragement of customers to go that way.
Yet CO2 emissions remain at post-industrial record highs:The virus apparently has brought about the biggest drop in global emissions in history, there you go @basilio I told you the quickest way to fix emissions is to get people to stop using stuff.
Well Rob you can help fix that, AGL have a plan where if you pay them a bit more for electricity they will plant more trees, so there you go you can go that extra mile and lead by example.Yet CO2 emissions remain at post-industrial record highs:
This NOAA graphic shows daily CO2 averages with black dots, weekly CO2 averages with red lines (Sunday to Saturday) and monthly CO2 averages with blue lines.
The block we built on was cleared land 30 years ago. Now we have 3 silky oak and 5 iron bark trees, several other varieties of gum trees, half a dozen palm tree varieties around the pool, 3 different fruit trees and some self sown trees we can't get rid of.Well Rob you can help fix that, AGL have a plan where if you pay them a bit more for electricity they will plant more trees, so there you go you can go that extra mile and lead by example.
We can never do too much.The block we built on was cleared land 30 years ago. Now we have 3 silky oak and 5 iron bark trees, several other varieties of gum trees, half a dozen palm tree varieties around the pool, 3 different fruit trees and some self sown trees we can't get rid of.
Maybe AGL should be paying me.
