Engineering the Emissions Target Depression.
The Climate Change Authority wants Australians to cut their production of
carbon dioxide to 19% below 2000 levels by the year 2020.
The climate boffins should employ a demographer before they set such
unrealistic goals.
The population of Australia in 2000 was about 19 million and it is now 23
million. By 2020 it will probably be over 25 million.
If Australia’s production of carbon dioxide was merely frozen at the 2000
level, that would require a 24% reduction per head of population by 2020.
If we add to that a real reduction in total emissions of 19% by 2020, emissions
per capita would need to fall by 39% in just 6 years.
Even more unbelievable, China (supported by the UN/IPCC) thinks that developed
countries “need to cut emissions by 40% from their 1990 levels by 2020”. This
would require Australia’s per capita emissions to fall by 60% to just 40% of
their 1990 levels. All achieved within the next six years.
Nothing real gets produced or done without generating carbon dioxide. Every
working car, truck, tractor, dozer, quad bike, boat, helicopter, bulk carrier
and aeroplane generates carbon dioxide. None of these will be powered by
wind-mills, sunbeams or nuclear power in the next six years. How will they
force us to use 39% less of them – carbon ration cards?
Making steel, bricks, cement, bitumen, minerals, metals, food, fertilisers and
roads produces carbon dioxide - shall we each use just 61% of what we did in
2000?
Humans, cattle, sheep, pigs, barbeques, champagne and beer also emit carbon
dioxide – shall we ration these too?
And Australian trains, lifts, supermarkets, operating theatres, refineries and
power stations will not keep working 24/7 without base-load electricity from
coal and gas, both generating carbon dioxide. Who is volunteering for living
solely with Green Energy - brown-outs, blackouts or irregular “Earth Hours” for
about four months of the year?
There is one way to achieve these goals – “The Tasmanian Solution”. Send 40% of
our remaining industry to Asia, and convert Australia into a quiet green utopia
of genteel poverty. This should create sufficient unemployment and reduced
consumption to achieve the required emissions austerity.
Is the Climate Change Authority engineering an emissions target depression to
achieve its savage cuts, or is this just another mindless model-driven target?
We should demand to see their detailed plans for achieving these targets.
Carbon dioxide is hugely beneficial for all plant life, and its effect on
global temperature is tiny and probably beneficial for most people. There is no
evidence that carbon dioxide causes extreme weather. Man-made Climate Policy is
a far greater and more certain danger than Man-made Climate Change.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the tide has turned in the war on carbon. Global
warming stopped seventeen years ago; the carbon price collapsed a year ago; the
EU is backpedalling on its disastrous green energy gamble; Russia, China,
India, Japan, Canada, USA, Brazil and South Africa will not sign any binding
Kyoto agreement; China has plans to build 160 new coal fired power stations in
the next four years; and Tim Flannery has been sacked.

Modern
Magic - Clean Energy by Wire
A month ago an arsonist lit a bush-fire that spread into the Morwell open cut
coal mine in Victoria. Residents of the nearby town lived for weeks in choking
polluted air.
This fire is a clear demonstration of what causes most air pollution – the
open-air combustion of complex carbon-bearing products such as coal, oil,
grass, sugar cane, cow dung, trees, wood, paper, urban rubbish, plastic bags,
rubber tyres or dead bodies.
Asian smogs have a few special features – yellow dust from the massive Gobi
Desert, fine ash and toxic fumes from dozens of volcanoes in Indonesia, funeral
pyres along the Ganges, smoky mosquito fires and forest-clearing fires,
millions of wood and dung cooking fires, hundreds of out-of-control coal-seam
fires in China and India, and obsolete “back-yard” boilers and furnaces from
the Mao era. In large Asian cities, pollution is multiplied by unburnt fuel and
particulates spewing from old engines in millions of cars, trucks and
motorbikes that clog the roads.
The fumes from open fires and dirty engines often contain soot, fine ash,
unburnt hydrocarbons and oxides of sulphur and nitrogen. This is the pollution
everyone can see, smell and taste. Notice that NONE of this real pollution is
caused by invisible, life supporting, non-toxic carbon dioxide which, along
with nitrogen and water vapour, are the main exhaust gases from well-designed
boilers burning clean coal in modern power stations with the latest pollution
controls.
The western world has gone through its “soot and smog” phase of development.
Places like London (“the Big Smoke”) and Pittsburgh (“Steel City”) solved their
pea soups many decades ago by outlawing the burning of dirty coal in open fires
and stoves, by cleaning up industrial smelters and by providing urban heat,
light and energy using piped coal gas and modern magic - pollution-free
electricity from distant coal-fired power stations with modern pollution
controls.
“Clean coal by Wire” using clean washed coal in modern out-of-town power
stations will work the same magic in Asian cities today.
Disclosure: Viv Forbes is a non-executive director and shareholder in a
small Australian coal exploration company, but these opinions were held and
stated long before that association. This does not alter the truth about the
causes of real air pollution.

The
Sixth Winter
(have we backed the wrong horse?)
Way back in the 1980’s I read a science fiction novel called “The Sixth
Winter”. It was something like an IPCC science fiction report but far more
credible and readable. One of the authors was Dr John Gribbin, an
astro-physicist who contributed to a Cambridge University Study “Climate Change”.
It includes this ominous passage (p23):
“Should such a pattern of jet stream zigzag and “blocking high” conditions
recur over five or six reasonably closely-spaced winters, with summer sunshine
insufficient to melt all the snow from each preceding winter, this may quite
rapidly build snow cover over the north-eastern part of North America beyond
the point of no return.”
Snow cover may similarly build over northern USSR possibly triggering an Ice
Age.
In February 2014, Dr Gerrit J van der Lingen published a paper entitled “Global
Cooling” in which he notes “the Northern Hemisphere has experienced five severe
winters in a row with record snowfalls and low temperatures”.
Have a look at what North America is
experiencing now:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/02/21/snow-storm-blizzard-midwest-south/1934667/
Maybe the western world has gambled our future on a tiring nag called “Global
Warming” whereas we should have placed some insurance money on the strong new
galloper called “Global Cooling”.
