- Comment on BYD’s hybrid EV ute that could rival Australia’s bestselling vehicles goes on sale 2 weeks ago:
Indeed, this in the FT yesterday
If Europe wants to see how Chinese manufacturers could affect its all-important car industry, it could do worse than look to Norway. Fully 94 per cent of cars sold in the Nordic country in October were electric, putting it on course to hit a target of no new fossil-fuel passenger vehicles next year.
Chinese carmakers sold no cars in Norway in 2019; this year so far, they have managed to take 11 per cent market share. Brands such as MG, BYD and Xpeng are common sights on Norwegian streets. Perhaps most telling is that Oslo’s main shopping strip Karl Johans Gate has only one car dealership on it: Nio, a relatively new Chinese brand.
The US and EU have sought to stem the rise of Chinese electric cars with tariffs, but Norway has pointedly refused to follow suit.

- Comment on Australia is a mess. Cop31 is a chance to redefine ourselves from climate laggard to global leader | Anna Cerneaz 2 months ago:
Cop31 is a chance to redefine ourselves from climate laggard to global leade
No it isn’t, such foolish, ney stupid thinking.
The entire COP precess has been co-opted by fossil fuel interests and is now irrelevant , we’re a massive exporter of fossil fuels and have zero interest in moving foward to zero emissons, voters will never tolerate not being able to fly and told thy can’t drive cars, stop owing meat eating pets etc
If we wanted to be “leaders” we’d not be holding the Olympics in Australia, not be spending billions expanding Brisbane, Melbourne and Hobart airports, we’d have abandoned all new road projects and only be building PT and AT infrastructure and be closing coal mines and gas extraction and redoing society for low energy dependence, whike starting managed abandonment of coastlines and. Northern Australia.
Just stick to denial and useless tokenism with a few solar panels and ecars like other developed countries and stop with the hypocrisy.

Boyd said: “There’s no place in the climate negotiations for fossil-fuel companies. There is no place in the plastic negotiations for plastic manufacturers. It just absolutely boggles my mind that anybody thinks they have a legitimate seat at the table.
“It has driven me crazy in the past six years that governments are just oblivious to history. We know that the tobacco industry lied through their teeth for decades. The lead industry did the same. The asbestos industry did the same. The plastics industry has done the same. The pesticide industry has done the same.”

- Comment on Australians lead the world when it comes to gambling and this is what's behind our addiction 2 months ago:
I am all for banning pokies and casinos though, on balance, they add misery to the world.
If it was banned it would not stop gambling, just have to look to places like China, where offshore gambling is massive.

Nearly everything we’re doing is wrong, so I dont expect that to change much. The presumption is our human entitlement subsumes the laws of nature and whioke we can fool ourselves and each other for a time, you cannot fool nature.

Nothing is. An example, the UK cut all its big trees down to build sailing ships back in the 1800s for example and then went overseas to exploit forestry there. A good read on that is The Golden Spruce
