There’s like five of them on my commute going ‘we’re saving the world!’
Awesome.
Would it kill you to do it single file?
Edit: ohhhhhhhh but don’t you dare stray into the cyclists lane…

There were suggestions that carbon exports in raw form should be counted against exporting country ( like packaging on exported products)
IDK where that got to, decided to save the world on something else ( and I didn’t get on with the thugs running mineral interests, farmers and fishers , even buffalo and wild pig shooters more relatable)
My starting point is that each person has an equal share of the global carbon budget, and when our personal consumption exceeds our allowance our credit stops working and we join the queue for a cup of rice each day.
hambo on his bike is living the good life and still eating pizza.

CO2 is colourless … just saying
Obviously not including truck drivers. Lots of imbeciles in that category
carbon reduction is focused on CO2e.
no point replacing one pollutant with another.
I mean…yeah, but to their credit they don’t drive on the footpath.
I’m getting kebabs tonight. Pizza is a little unwieldy on the bike.

Just bully smaller motorists, hog the right hand lane, & occasionally run into & kill people due to some of them behaving like cowboys whilst driving a killing machine
Not sure I really understand your post, but I’m against running down annoying people.

What does he mean “will be defeated” ?
They’re in power nearly everywhere.
Aaaaaand we’re either on fire or underwater.
It worries me that, after decades of knowing a problem is coming, the only plan a major representative of a branch of Australian political thought can come up with is to play pretend and stick their fingers in their ears.

He won an election.
Morrison, the coal nugget collector, whose collection was admired by the Front Bench, won an election

Mining lobby run politics.
That’s about the extent of it.
Still need enough seats to govern. They went down in WA.

Reuben Finighan (The Conversation ): “There are four arguments against investment in nuclear power: Olkiluoto 3, Flamanville 3, Hinkley Point C, and Vogtle. These are the four major latest-generation plants completed or near completion in Finland, the United States, the United Kingdom and France respectively. Cost overruns at these recent plants average over 300%, with more increases to come. The cost of Vogtle, for example, soared from US$14 billion to $34 billion (A$22-53 billion), Flamanville from €3.3 billion to €19 billion (A$5-31 billion), and Hinkley Point C from £16 billion to as much as £70 billion (A$30-132 billion), including subsidies.
“Completion of Vogtle has been delayed by seven years, Olkiluoto by 14 years, and Flamanville by at least 12 years. A fifth case is Virgil C, also in the US, for which US$9 billion (A$14 billion) was spent before cost overruns led the project to be abandoned. All three firms building these five plants — Westinghouse, EDF, and AREVA — went bankrupt or were nationalised. Consumers, companies and taxpayers will bear the costs for decades By contrast, average cost overruns for wind and solar are around zero, the lowest of all energy infrastructure.”

Before climate change was trending, the Westinghouse cartel investigations in the US implicated some Australians ( with links to the Australian Government on uranium, some with public servant status).
To avoid being arrested, they fled USA, avoided any travel to a country that had an extradition treaty with the USA, only safe in Australia.
It was a cause célèbre in Australia’s relationship with USA at the time.
