A young woman called Lizia Woolf stepped forward. She hadn’t spoken before, but the passion, grief and fury of her response was utterly compelling. “What is it that you are asking me as a 20-year-old to face and to accept about my future and my life? … This is an emergency. We are facing extinction. When you ask questions like that, what is it you want me to feel?” We had no answer.
I guess someone should have asked her, did she drive to the venue and did she have a mobile phone in her pocket.
It is very easy to demand change, but most would be reluctant to take the lifestyle change that would follow, if it isn't done in a structured controlled manner.
You haven't made any case Plod.Rest my case,
a "Cool Hand..."
I suppose she could reasonably answer that people can have their cake and eat it too if the uptake of renewables was quicker. I think that's all people are agitating for, cleaner energy not less of it.
In fact we are going to need a lot more electricity if the transport systems are going electric.
Well you need twice as much renewable generation for the same load, as fossil fuels generation and three times as much storage.I suppose she could reasonably answer that people can have their cake and eat it too if the uptake of renewables was quicker.

Yep.In fact we are going to need a lot more electricity if the transport systems are going electric.
Yes that works well for those Countries that have mountains, rain and high population densities.That's the thing isn't it. We're not saying that machines and gadgets should all be thrown away; or that standard of living be wind back down to save the planet.
Just that there are alternatives. Cleaner, greener, renewable alternatives. Alternatives our engineers and current skill sets can readily bring to reality... and of course improve as we go.
So instead of transitioning, the debate by our politicians and their interested parties seem to be... you either love the coal, it won't hurt ya... or go back to the dark ages.
Seem that those countries with plenty of oil and fossil fuel aren't going to move on it. Good thing the Europeans and the Chinese are taking the lead in the renewables.

With China, they can do it because they can do anything, they don't have a squealing selfobsessed Chardonnay set to pander to. Lol
The only people who will get are fair share, are those who have nothing, we just have to get there grasshopper.Australia has sunshine, plenty of desert. Coastline all round. Wind or Solar shouldn't be a problem.
Europe can go hydro. But they seem to be leading the world in wind. Solar adoption is pretty high too.
China and Europe is leading the way to renewable because they cannot afford not to. Can't rely on foreign energy as the main source. Can't really afford to pollute and choke off your plebs anymore... who's going to fight all them wars they're planning right?
Australia seem to like exporting our coals and fossil well enough.
With strong entrench economic interests from the fossils, plenty of places to drill... being rich and having few enough people... meh, we'll just import everything.
Good thing the tax office get a fair share of them finite resources though.
I don't think the environmentalists like chardonnays. Chai tea and soy milk keeps you warm as you try to keep the whole damn place clean for everyone.

I'm working on it.lol
Hey, I got nothing. Where's my fair share?
About to wrap up my little project. Then come the hard part: marketing. Geezus man, this thing never ends. Hope it doesn't end up with me on CentreLink.
I don't know about you, but I'm sure it will for me.
A lifetime of trying and saving, to end up where you would have, without sacrificing anything. Sad really
Feel for you.Yeh, just wished I'd bought an air conditioner, when we lived in the NW. I told the family don't worry we will benefit in the end.
Just wished I'd built a house, rather than getting a $hitbox re stumped and then spent two years rebuilding it.
Just wished, I'd gone back to England before my Grandparents died, but didn't because I wanted to save money.
I just wish I had my time over.
.......Nor understand the nuance of any position other that fed to you by political and mercantile vested intetests.

Yes, he points out that the sun has been quieter for while now producing lessLow solar activity and its impact on “high-latitude blocking”
In the long term, the sun is the main driver of all weather and climate and multi-decadal trends in solar activity can have major impacts on oceanic and atmospheric temperatures. .
