You don't need to believe in Climate Change

this man agrees with me! He's using my words!


"If we accept the concept that anybody on this planet has the same right to a certain lifestyle, and if we just take India, China and Indonesia, they would require a five-fold increase of energy expenditure to reach a comparable lifestyle to ours. All of that to me adds up to a very degraded planet unless those energy sources are going to come from some source other than coal.

"The obvious conclusion is that we all need to reduce our environmental footprint — especially those of us in the developed world — so those of us in the developing world have the capacity to expand their footprint a bit more."

Interesting. I am of the opinion that some of the generally accepted 'required' or expected living standards in developed areas are WAY too high. But most people will just take what they can get with no thought of consequence. Suppose I am guilty of some of that too.

... and in other news from the same source it has been revealed that the Pope has links with the catholic church, and that bears, when looking for a place to relieve themselves, have been known to venture into the woods.

Well Andrew Bolt would point to this as clear evidence that he's a Nazi, because Hitler was interested in environmental causes, therefore any interest in the environment includes the extermination of the jews according to Bolt logic.

I think it's great that the Governor can demonstrate that he is more in tune with the populace's thinking than the elected government.
