The algorithm owns you.

this whole thread is typical of the polarised view from social media sources only. Rise above your feed (that’s aimed at both sides of this debate)

People have a democratic right to protest. What's wrong with you?

Did you take too many angry pills again?

I don't know if Net Zero is dead or not. I think it's a flawed policy. It doesn't make sense to me that Australia can export fossil fuel, and what we send overseas is not counted.

China is steadily becoming the dominant global force, partly because they had the foresight to see that renewable energy is the future.

Any profitable wind farm will pay company tax. If wholesale prices don't reduce, profitability should increase as the finance is paid off.
Chat GPT gave me a list of projects it thinks are making money.

Most likely profitable today (based on revenue + CF + QLD pricing):
Coopers Gap (47% CF)
Dulacca (45% CF)
Wambo (44.5% CF)
Clarke Creek (42.8% CF)
Granville Harbour (TAS) (52% CF, strong TAS wind resource)
These projects consistently show high output, strong revenue, and favourable regional capture prices.

However, in absolute terms, miners will pay more tax because mining is a much bigger industry.

I was not referring to anybody (you) on this forum as that. I was referring to a given world leader with the attention span of a 7 YO ADHD. When global warming effects Him (and his cohorts), things will change. I lived in Darwin 20 years, and was an avid fisherman. I would follow the weather intently. Talking to my Darwin friends recently, and looking at the Darwin Airport historical records on BOM, I there have been 38s on October. As common as 42's in Adelaide in January. You can split hairs if you like.

But the tropics is getting hotter. I remember growing up in Darwin in the 80s. Wet season was 32C tops. There was no need for an A/C. I noticed the global instability effect after the 1991 Gulf war up there. This war seemed to dump a bunch of populates into the atmosphere during that time. I could see the oil wells burning in the aerial news footage. Then, after this war, the wet season temperatures went up to 33-34C. It was only a degree, but, after 1991, it never went back to 32 max. Now, it's normal for Darwin to be 38C in October,and the wet seasons lasting 10-11 months. I talk to SE Asian coworkers who take trips back to their home lands, and they tell me the same thing. They just don't remember the temperature gauge being that high when they were growing up in the 80s. It seems to me the tropics is the worse affected. So, for my point of view, to say global warming is a hoax, you would have to be some sort of complete retard if you lived in the tropics and dismissed this effect. I think the above was a crack at solving this issue.

I just think that until the world's rich people are affected by global instability (which I don't think they are yet), then, and only then, will there be movements to counteract this man made effect. Maybe all the rich people are all planning to build a spaceship and fly to Planet B ?. For everybody else, it's bad luck.

Here I am thinking it’s normal to cross reference a course on paper charts prior to departure.

True but he was one of the foremost navigators and chart makers of his day and he did have nearly 100 crew including guys 100 feet up in the air on lookout.
