- Comment on World Appears on Track to Triple Renewable Capacity by 2030 1 week ago:
And still emsisions are going up, coal use went. UP last year ffs
This is a demand side issue not supply side. Until we curtail energy use severely, then it can only get worse
And all of that aside, climate chnahe is but one issue; pollition, resource overuse (building endless green shit), plastics, forest clearing, soxt mass extinction and on and on.
Clean energy might help deal with emissions, but it does nothing to reverse deforestation, overfishing, soil depletion and mass extinction. A growth-obsessed economy powered by clean energy will still tip us into ecological disaster.” - Jason Hickel

- Comment on Australia has a $127,000 housing affordability question 1 month ago:
I don’t agree its complicated, demand is never the problem, it’s always and only supply and that’s a reflection of poor governance…So fuck voters for electing and reelecting neoliberal shit bags making sure its only ever made worse, particularly hypocritical Labor . At least the LNP wear their greed and disdain on thier sleeves, similarly with Climate Change.
It’s like suggesting a lack of food is a demand problem
Orwell wrote this about British Labour 80 yeaea ago and it applies today to them as well as the ALP .
All left-wing parties in the highly industrialized countries are at bottom a sham, because they make it their business to fight against something which they do not really wish to destroy. They have internationalist aims, and at the same time they struggle to keep up a standard of life with which those aims are incompatible. We all live by robbing Asiatic coolies, and those of us who are ‘enlightened’ all maintain that those coolies ought to be set free; but our standard of living, and hence our ‘enlightenment,’ demands that the robbery shall continue.
- Comment on Mapping Australia by the Nearest City with a Population of 100,000 or More 1 month ago:
The GPO was the location for Main Roads Departments eg when it says 25 km to Ingham, they mean to the main Post Office. Well it was back when I worked for Qld Main Roads in the 1980s as a Surveyor. I forget the designated names for post offices, I think GPO was the main one in each town and PO was other branches ?
Of course when it says 25km to X and X has no PO I can’t remember what they used ?
That might be of zero consequence to the ABS or this map.

- Comment on Australians are moving to Tasmania to escape climate change, but the island state is not immune 1 month ago:
Yes as did SE.Qld in the “rainforest” that burned.
Dont be there is the key,
As the artcle says everywhere is effected, its just some places are worse then others.
Like the couple interviewd, he couldn’t work outdoors in SE.Qld anymore, it was already unlivable
I left far North Qld 15 years ago for the same reason.
- Comment on Australians are moving to Tasmania to escape climate change, but the island state is not immune 1 month ago:
That makes no sense. Its like not living on a flood plain and others choose to
Sure everyone is suffering but at least you’re not wading through a metre of water from a storm surge you were told years aho was going to happen and you moved inland and up on a hill and otjers said “well, it’s like moving to the edhe of the pan to escape the heat…we’ll just stay here on the flood plain!”
You make it sound like its a instanteous thing.and its everywhere all at once.
I left Far NQ 15 years ago because it was unlivable then.
