Climate change protests only get a small mention

This issue (in the earlier years referred to as "the greenhouse effect" nowadays known as "climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions") has been dragging on for so long I can't remember when it all began.

Call me a climate change sceptic, conspiracy theory supporter, etc. all you like — but think about it first:

News bulletins almost on a nightly basis, and in the papers almost every day, for all this time, have been discussing the issue of man-made pollution and its link to the changing weather which is said to be happening in some parts of the world because of man-made CO₂ emissions.

From what I can see, there are major flaws in this debate/issue as far as the mass media is concerned.

1. The world is overpopulated and the population continues to balloon out of control, and bugger-all is being done about it or gets much of a mention.

2. Alternatives such as wind and solar have been discussed over and over and over and over and over for all the years this issue has been in the media — yet why are these alternative sources of energy still not being implemented? Is it because these alternatives aren't as good, are they too difficult to implement, or is it because oil companies won't allow it, or what?

Also, I have to ask: if something is finally done to solve the climate change problem — that being completely eliminating CO₂ emissions:

Are we all going to stop driving our cars, flying in planes, riding in trains, buses and all other forms of transport (aside from walking, cycling, and riding horses) because they put out CO₂

Are we all going to stop using electricity? Because to generate electricity, they need to burn fossil fuels thereby putting out CO₂. How many square kilometres of solar panels in reliably sunny locations, and wind turbines in reliably windy locations, are needed to put out the gigawatts of energy the CO₂-emitting power stations currently put out?



Get set for even more boring, mind-numbing climate change propaganda in the leadup to Christmas, as Kevin Fudd prepares to sign the new Kyoto Protocol with bells on in December, folks!

Note the typical one-sidedness in this broadcast (Ten's 5 O'Clock News Sydney, 12/7/2009) where most of it is about the gloom and doom climate change is going to bring, as former Bush vice-president Al Gore keeps saying, while only a few seconds mention the fact the climate change sceptics held a protest outside Gore's meeting.

This and the SWINE FLU would have to be the 2 most "talked-about" issues in the media these days. Night after night, day after day, it's climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, climate change, swine flu, ................................

ad nauseum

International Climate Agreements serve to do what? They serve to transfer industry and productive capacity from first world nations to third world nations. Kind of like Marxism as applied to nations as opposed to individuals eh.

Thank God there are people in Australia not fooled by this Global Warming C.R.A.P.
