I have long since given up expecting that facts will prevail on this forum. For just one example:
fact 1 a list of all the existing nuclear plants around the world and those in construction ( has been posted before)
fact 2 Australia has the largest resources of uranium in the world
fact 3 Australia has no nuclear plants and is not building any
Labor voters will conclude that Australia has the best advised and wisest government in the world.
I just can't argue with people who do not use logic.
It is surprising that someone's political views can distort their understanding of facts. Much of the above discussion is of the form ‘I hate the LNP or Libs therefore what they say is rubbish'.
During the Federation drought (1895-1903) the situation became so dire that the Maryborough Council (Victoria) considered sourcing town water from the mine pumps. Dr. Howell, the Government Chemist, noted that while the water didn’t fully meet hygienic standards, it could be used for domestic purposes in extreme circumstances. However, he advised against using it in steam boilers for locomotives.
Two elephants, then red then green. The first two can be either way, they have no rule about their order. It says the largest elephant ( the green one) is always at the back. If it had said the larger elephant is always at the back then I would answer differently.
Climate change cannot be 'brought under control'. We need to start worrying about the real threats from the growing dictatorships. Climate has always changed and always will. By all means do what you can if you are worried about climate, but nothing you do now will change the climate that our descendants live in for the next couple of hundred years. But we can choose whether they live under a Putin or an Ayatollah.
Armageddon will follow from our economic weakness. There would be nothing wrong with phasing out coal if that were to happen, as long as it didn’t weaken Australia wrt our enemies. So it would require a global agreement that will never happen, and could only be applied by force of arms. Likewise for gas, which we have plenty of but refuse to use. And yes, I have ten grandchildren and fear for their future in a world that is moving toward another world war.
