There are ads on the radio in Perth that are spruiking how essential methane is to industry. What’s most annoying is no mention of the devastating effects on the climate crisis. Greenwashing at its finest.

Almost everyone produces alcohol in their gut. Something to do with the yeast lining it.

Here I am, surprised that the US has troops in Chad.

I suppose that once you have laws that allow blocking one type of site then other sites will be pretty easy to be added. A precedent sort of thing. Done once then others will follow.

Pretty amazing that piracy is such a hot topic such that freedoms can be curtailed but everyone’s right to an AR15 must be protected.

Oil bosses say that the world will suffer climate calamity because we won’t give up burning oil. Or is it that they are addicted to the money and can’t give it up?

The workers sucked into the army, invalided and the workers who have fled Russia probably have had no effect. Nor the workers who have been sucked into the munitions and war materials machine. Great that the Russian economy had so many unemployed to step up.

It’s a big problem and I don’t know if the science behind this has been tested. Still, every little helps!

Do we know how much there is and how much we will need? Seems like a huge problem. Maybe electrify everything and transition the economy to low carbon is a safer bet.

Is a radical idea that has insufficient study to give us confidence that it will work as intended. Research is necessary.

Certainly the major effort behind this as a solution is the fossil fuels industry as it smacks of a tech solution that deflects from the fact that we aren’t focused on rapidly reducing greenhouse emissions. There is a lot of these and the underlying problem is that CO2 pollution is continuing unabated. Greenwashing until emissions reduce.

Sounds reasonable if you think of the country as big. Attracting migrants is necessary as the birth rate in most educated countries is negative so the population, if left to itself, is declining. Migrants will mostly want to live in cities and probably the bigger ones with more opportunities. The infrastructure will mostly be needed to expand the big cities which will make them a lot less inviting. That might be less of an issue as everything electrified on the way to a low carbon economy, the smog will reduce as will some of the noise.

Isn’t the world’s population supposed to peak by 2070 and then decline? Sounds like a capitalist going on about the need for endless growth to make him billions. Has anyone thought about what Canada would be like to live in if there were 70 million extra people?
