The Parsons Climate Report

A steelie building a windmill is in the same job as a steelie building a coal fired power plant.

It shows how little the CFMEU heads understand about an economy, society and the environment.

One the one hand the worker would be doing their best on the evidence available to save their descendents [family], supposedly so important when it is needed as a lever for industry or propaganda tool, from, at the very least, a less comfortable and uncertain future by continuing with business as usual and on the other from ensuring such an outcome.

As the results of continuing coal use become clearer more will protest at its mining and use, such as occurred at Heazelwood where 22 were arrested, and eventually even workers will demand change, saying goodbye to the leaders of the garden path route to hardship.

Never stand between Australian business and a bucket of subsidies.

Death of a thousand algal blooms. Corals reaction to increased water temperature even indicates a path of slow death for coral reef systems in tropical waters.

Here is confirmation, again, of what is happening under climate instability. Such threats will come regardless of where you live.

Another curly one for Garrett. Bligh says Traveston Dam essential whilst the other eastern seaboard mainland State capitals opt for desalination.

Please explain how water is going to be supplied to an ever growing south eastern Queensland. Droughts were normal and now we have a stepping down of total rainfall. Out of touch and out of date. Another solution needs to be found.

And what of the water grid and recycling plants standing idly by. Its got to be a gift to Labor mates in the dam construction industry.

If ever there was evidence of a double dissolution climate election this must be one really sold piece of evidence

Without party unity failure is almost assured let alone that they are going against the tide of current public opinion.

And it just got much more expensive to adapt to climate instability according to one estimate.

And of that opinion is the oils front man no longer popular or is his double speak government position too precious to tell the truth

For Stupid Fielding and his entire ilk, entitled to their ill informed wrong opinion, here is another nail for its coffin, a link between low level of atmospheric CO2 and a freezing event.

Although previously linked to changes in ocean circulation as the Tasmanian link between Australian and Antarctica widened enough to allow a circumpolar current, changing ocean heat distribution patterns this new evidence indicates another cause.

[The balmy winter Tasmania is experiencing is linked to a change in the distribution of the heat pattern in the waters around Tasmania as the Indian Ocean heat is drawn to and around the apple isle by the Leeuwin current.]

The question what is the correct course for an ETS sees John Anderson, former nationals leader and deputy PM, go Green, opting for direct government intervention to actually reduce emissions.

The RET has escaped his attention but he does argue for leaving agriculture out as well as criticising the regulatory effects of a market mechanism. Agriculture should be excluded except intensive animal production as the winning of the energy from the wastes is possible there.

New discoveries about Greenland ice inform us about variable melting rates. Steve the Stupid, from the Senate, cannot believe the ice sheets are melting so this is not a question for him to puzzle over.

And on a note of optimism for the believers in business as usual, the same fools who believe that millions more mouths are good for the economy here is how much more stress the environment will be under, how crowded the cities will be and how wide the Kingston bypass may need to be if they come south to avoid the overcrowding and the heat.

You may wish to also puzzle over how many desal plants will be needed to water this population.

The Liberals remain unable to formulate amendments to the CPRS legislation with divisions continuing to rack them and the Coalition. On the face of it a trigger for a double dissolution will appear in November.
