It's this sort of rationale that show what every right-wing leaning person suspects about the climate change debate. It's not about making the world a better place, it's about evening the ledger.

Yes, so to make the world a better place the trillions that the USA have earned from its trashing of the environment should be used to pay for reparations to fix said trashing.
Oops my bad, the simplistic 'user pays' ideology of the conservative doesn't apply to the complexity of global warming.......*idea*

It means you are changing the goalposts all the time to suit your arguments when in actual fact the USA isn't the biggest planetary polluter anymore like it use to be.

Oh yeh, and drive the USA to bankruptcy! Nice one Einstein! If the USA or EU cough, the entire world catches a cold. 

If that happens you would be in a soup line yourself. 

Makes Vanlassen's point more apt in that this really isn't about Climate Change or the Environment at all. This is about wealth redistribution.

But if we don't sell it, then another country will because there will still be demand for Coal in developing economies like China and India.

We might as well get the money and the jobs. 

India is heavily slowing down their demand for Coal and putting in shitloads of solar.

They've even made a target to have all battery powered cars within the next decade or so.

Every country is putting in a lot of Green Energy. It is the future and the technology is improving. 

But, their Coal consumption is increasing as their energy demands increase because renewables are unable to provide the base load or supply them with the demanded increases of energy as their economy grows at a very fast rate.

Yes I am starting to see that this is actually the case.

He is more interested in politicking, socialism, wealth redistribution and the changing of the Status Quo by taxing the USA some 3 Trillion (his figures not mine). 

It's people like him which cause a lot of damage to the renewables and environmental movements.

Emissions prior to 1990 don't disappear either.
Preempting, emissions prior to 2000 don't disappear additionally
Further preempting, emissions don't disappear prior to 2007 (when China caught USA)

Not sure how much more movement of goalposts you intend doing

You are dense.

Statistics from 1950 are meaningless because Chinas consumption didn't significantly increase until half way through the monitoring period you provided.

Of course the emissions don't change. However your stats are as retarded as showing the comparison in emissions from 1750 and 1930. It's retarded because the bulk of the emissions would be from 1900 onwards which gives you skewed results.

I'm not moving any goalposts. I am simply suggesting that 1950, 30 years before China starting expanding at a rapid rate is a stupid year to have stats from.

Which countries are you referring too?

You've blanketed with a statement of "all" countries.

I would hazard a guess that most European countries aren't.

Paul,

Most European countries are investing heavily in renewables. All the 27 members of the EU are and they are receiving a lot of ECB funding to expand their programs.

Renewable investment in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus are also proceeding at a fast pace because the EU emission targets are strict and there will be EU fines for not meeting them. There are wind farms all over the country side with new projects starting each and every month. I'm not sure what there targets are but I would say that the EU demands are far more stricter than here.

Can confirm. Did contiki a few years back and all through France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Czech Republic there are solar/wind turbines everywhere.

Yeah I get that, but you said they're still heavily investing in Coal, that's the part I wanted clarification on.

While there is a tiny element of sense (tiny as in in an ideal world you don't want any kids distracting other kids), she worded it horribly.

What amuses me about the backlash though is that when I was at school the word autism almost didn't exist. Bratty/distracting kids were put in one class and those who wanted to strive for high marks another. Yet introduce autism to the debate and it's an absolute clusterfuck.

A mate was just telling me he got his new Land Rates notice thru and the price has jumped up 7% from last year.

I couldn't remember if a 7% increase in land rates was high or not.

Looking at past years, my own Land Rates have jumped:
15/16 - 16/17 = 5.2%
14/15 - 15/16 = 5.2%
13/14 - 14/15 = 2.5%
12/13 - 13/14 = 6.9%

How do they work this shit out, even? Whom calculates it each year, what is it based on, etc? 

The way I understand it, the Emergency Services Levy is yet to be included into Land Rates as it has been delayed. So it is seemingly "naturally" increasing each year.

Greens are just as hypocritical as the big 2 when it comes to political expenses.

Sarah Hanson Young has claimed a $4k whale watching trip with her child as a political expense saying something along the lines of "she wanted to view the affects of oil drilling the Great Australian Bight first hand".

She's got to make up a better excuse than that. Terrible misuse of tax payer money.

For us our land rates are council rates. We get 6 monthly land/council rates and quarterly water/sewerage rates. We also get a notice every year saying our land value has gone up so that council can charge more in rates. Parasites :laugh:
