We should use plastic waste as payment, I am sure people would even fish for the micro-plastics in seawater.
- Too smartrobthelad
- Deposits on cans and bottles sort of achieve this - homeless people scour cities to cash them in. Not pretty, but a rounded sort of reasoning.Nairn
- to easy to recreate and generate wealthdeathboy
- this is the type of thinking of idiots running for public office with real belief they can change something. narrow views end only end game is what they seedeathboy
- the reality to is instill such a thing you change the entire eco system. does one invest in a country micro plastic market or bonds. specualtive nature intodeathboy
- any micro plastic farmer as a new gold miner, bit coiner. the value of legalized offerings. plenty of ways to game the systemdeathboy
- so many ways teh person who would lay down the rule never gave it a tenth of thoughtdeathboy

Bit of a side note to climate change, but I've always felt that all human waste/garbage/plastic should be granulated. In massive grinders. Turn everything into sand. Plastics can be used for roads, wood & paper burnt, food turned into fert. anything else can be buried. Should reduce the size of hole needed massively if granulated.
- In that form it can wreak havoc in the oceans. It currently is already.monospaced
- Well the idea is not to put the granules in the ocean innit!Hayzilla
- Interesting idea but most of the plastics/garbage we generate aren't stable enough for that type of reprocessing.ben_
- exactly to both points. plastic is not indefinitely recyclable. microplastic is ruining the ecosystem as it is being eaten and passed up the chainimbecile
- nothing good comes from hydrocarbonsimbecile
- They actually do grind up plastics and use them in roads in Scotland, Holland and Germany. Trouble is - what happens post-friction? More micro-plastic.Nairn
- imho, waste post- post- consumer, no-longer recyclable plastic should be burnt for fuel or buried for future processingNairn
- "nothing good comes from hydrocarbons" Your love of fixing up cars and motorbikes seems to defy that stance :)Nairn
- my willingness to ignore the evils of my happiness doesn't make the repercussions of my actions any less impactful. I know gas is bad, i just don't care.imbecile
- Ouch. Better fix up an old one than buy a Prius or Tesla though eh?MrT

Slightly unbelievable figure, but even if it's 1% it'd be quite impressive.. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a…
- so china, india and now africa.
https://earthobserva…uan - doing something in the right direction, while we still defending ideologies against another instead of focusing on solutions.uan
- This is crazy, they are pretending that intensive farming counts as "greening" - that would not be helping the environment. Also they talk about change inzarkonite
- greening... here in Canada we already have tons of forests, there's no room to grow. We're actually carbon negative, this kind of analysis isn't helping at all.zarkonite
- so china, india and now africa.

Why do we judge a country on its 'power'? We at least do this from a western perspective. It seems though, if we viewed things by 'competency', it would surely mean we change the tone in which we hold our own governments to a higher level of scrutiny. When you see the trajectories of say for example China, we begin to realise they seem to have at least some kind of goal/narrative they're working towards. Here in the UK we've spent 3 years concentrating on fucking Brexit and it seems America still don't believe in climate change.
We need a global narrative, yet we don't even trust our next door neighbour, nevermind a ruling government.
- Honestly, i think we're fucked. Humanz are too stupidz.Bennn
- but a global narrative would be from a single view point. and if wrong would ruin everything. or more than likely setup a path for complete control based ondeathboy
- goal narrative. freedoms could be crushed on whims and anything goes by those dictating to such goal/narrative.... hasnt this been done already?deathboy
- strange it always find champions to repeat itself in a new angle, form, adage.deathboy
- I don't agree. We all have our own inner stories, as we're narrative-driven species, and we're tribalistic in our nature - to some extent.Ianbolton
- But to say that a global narrative would be a dictatorship is assuming that everything is based around power and we're forced to believe in one truth.Ianbolton
- We all have our own individual stories that get us up in the morning, but i believe if governments came from a place of competency, not power, we'd be...Ianbolton
- way more inclined to see positives in a forward movement to be part of nature rather than see our goal to control nature.Ianbolton
- haha ian global narrative gov is a single truth. u seem to state people have all kinds of narratives, but jsut want a happy ppl to accept a gov global truthdeathboy
- willingly ignoring every for such difference of narratives. Think of it this way from a business perspective. Wouldnt it be great if all people just willinglydeathboy
- and without coercion choose our product. that is a pretty asinine conclusion. duterte has a vision and popular to get voted in killing a bunch of unsavory typesdeathboy
- the competency of it makes sense for function of his rule. but not for rule of law. i think i see where your ideology may be trying to go. and some truth to itdeathboy
- hell kill all liberals we'd be a better unified place right :). but rule of law and individual rights is the western culture of real advancementdeathboy
- away from tribalism and true freedom unless its the hiccup of an era dicators have waited to pass. And jsut about hoping to have the right dictatordeathboy
- notesboy strikes again leaving many scratching their heads wondering what the shit this asshat is trying to actually say again.monospaced
- mono. quit riding my dick and add your response based on ians post. starting to think your gay brodeathboy
- gay? really? you're a fucking idiotmonospaced
- well you like dick riding. maybe one of the other alphabet soup letters you are.deathboy
- i dont know know. you do you but sometimes dick riding does nothin. try to get a opinion with any basisdeathboy
- like heres an example of how full of shit you are. you insult and try to assert your view as others that i make no sense. which is baseless. it displaysdeathboy
- either you get it or you don't and you don't like it. and running form it like tom cruise gay thoughts.deathboy
- if something was unclear and actually curious or didn't have a set opinion you would ask.typical educated solution..deathboy
- but in all the times you engage you only do in insult. if ever challenged on a detail you ghost. you and trump with your realities might have more in commondeathboy
- than u know. Of course i never expect you to consider it for personal growth. some people just cant do it.deathboy
- Haha. Wow! "How old are you?" would be a great thing to start/end this. Although I need to be careful incase you insinuate I ride Mono's dick. Which I obv doIanbolton
- Maybe you could lay out your arguments a little better for us to work out. How about with clearly bullet pointed explanations as to WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN?Ianbolton
- ian i explained why your utopia is fake. either there is a singel global narrative as china liek you point out or mutlipel narratives that embrace free marketsdeathboy
- OR you have multipel narratives that jsut happen to coincide with a large narrative you like. probably unlikely though.deathboy
- either way its a question of individuality or collectivism. again who says we all unite and kill off all cliamte alarmists and socialist woudl we not see adeathboy
- a better future? the issue with all collective narratives is they are usually based on bias and bum statistics to validate actions.deathboy
- and should also take into consideration the bg fear of monopoly in business. a single narrative is a monopoly. all problems are similar with itdeathboy
- is science a collective narrative?Ianbolton
- it very well can be but wont lump all science together. much of how we perceive of science is opinion. postman wrote a bunch of how our culture misinterpretsdeathboy
- abotu how we perceive what is science and how we think of it back in the early 90s which still rings true to this daydeathboy
- have you ever wonder about collective opinions of a specific journal or peers in science? that is a collective narrative. and as such most collectives usuallydeathboy
- form out of weak seeking power. and any narrative they have hardly deal with truth and more reflects hos it will effect themselves. since man looks out for selfdeathboy
- interests and the whole wallstreet greed is good.unless you only believe the "bad" guys have self interest?deathboy
- "Since man looks out for self"? I think you're missing the whole point of what I'm saying in that one statement. The only reason we are where we are today is...Ianbolton
- through our ability as a species to collaborate and to build group narratives. We are story led creatures. Do you still think evolution is an opinion?Ianbolton
- is this collaboration willingly? Any narrative will be built out of any collaboration willingly or unwillingly. A company in free to work state is differentdeathboy
- than old slavery. and hard not to acknowledge ecomic edge slavery gave industry in labordeathboy
- all sanctioned by gov approval.deathboy
- i think evolution is a pretty solid hypothesis. see it in small scale, however i think in long term talking millions of years there are holes left unfullfilled.deathboy
- but im fully on board with the survival of the fittest. which of the majority of people fittest largely comes down to capital.deathboy
- the top 10% are scared of losing there ocean front property or island vaction homes and real estate they mroe than liekly will have the largest voice in orderdeathboy
- to try and save them while they lobby gov to subsidize their interest and everyone elses costs. COme on what person living on 18K a year wants to pay $5 lb burgdeathboy
- er meat which is less healthy to protect nothign they own while the 10% dine on good old beef.deathboy
- yeesh bad type. trying to watch netflix as i type. i own it. sorry. but think you get should still see where im going.deathboy
- I'd say science is and clearly shows a willingness to collaborate, to further the understandings of what it is to be human. Beyond politics.Ianbolton
- id say its a perfect area to get into politics for funding and sell bias. its hard to have unconditional science in regards to fundingdeathboy
- notesboy strikes again!monospaced
- You don't make sense, because you can barely type a coherent sentence, and on that point you will NEVER be able to show that I am wrong. Ever.monospaced
- lol @ you talking about an "educated decision" when you are uneducated and I am very educated. Fucking idiot.monospaced
- lol the idea of talking how educated you are is all i need to show your ignorance. thanks for proving my pointdeathboy
- you don't have a point, though.monospaced
- i do. but dont worry abouting ducking for it.deathboy
- wut?monospaced
- it is over your head... ducking... jeez i thought that was tee ball easy.deathboy
- but ian seems to accept collaboration. He just ignoring the incentives of it. Ceo with many cheaply paid people is collaboration.deathboy
- you are absolutely right about collaboration amongst humans but peopel collaborate willingly for what suit there INDIVIDUAL narrativedeathboy
- anyone preaching a group collaboration narrative has a closet case communist collectivist style agenda.deathboy
- but i mean its so obvious you totally got that right mono? hahahadeathboy

Scifi.- Phan, let me tell u a secret but don't tell anyone. Australia has a real arson problem by people ranging in age from under 10 to 24 yrs, then in older age.robotron3k
- Added to that they litterally slashed land management 60%, down to $825 million for the ALL of Australia. And done by the Turnbull liberal party! Ouch!robotron3k
- Arson can start a fire but it doesn't explain fires spreading to the size of a small country. You need increased temps and drought for that to happen.yuekit
- What are you talking about robo? I don’t understand what you are getting at?thumb_screws
- thumb_screws - a bunch of climate change denying conspiracies are being trotted out that the fires were started intentionally, some suggested greens did it etclowimpakt
- Yeah aware of all the green blaming that the Coalition gov and Murdoch’s cronies have been falsely spouting.thumb_screws
- The situation is beyond fucked. Our current government is peppered with climate change denialists. The lack of leadership from a federal level has been awful.thumb_screws

- Outside Sydney and in 40 years this the hottest it’s ever been. They all know this is a few bush fire set by kids. Everything is dry! Her folks birds died...necromation
- Died outside the other day, from the heat. Right wing government Deny’s the fact to keep getting kick backs. This gov is gonenecromation
- *Correction - the folks know this NOT a few fires set by kids!necromation
- here in melborune everything smelled like ash the other day, and it turned out that large area is burning 2 hours from the cbdsted

this is a 100 year temperature trend (1910 - 2010) in Australia from the Government's Bureau of Meterology
Also 2019 was their hottest year on record
- The right wing, God fearing, racist, low IQ, Russian Lovin', Trumptards .... refer to this as fake news. Just watch Fox News.utopian

- whats a 1000 look like or a 100,000? relevance of perspective. not to mention logistical data measurements on short timelinedeathboy
- a few years in a short time span would make people think the world is ending extrapolating the data... remember global cooling before our agesdeathboy
- The Arsonists would be a good band name https://summit.news/…robotron3k
- robotron3k-8
Definitely the sun has some blame but finally someone writing about the possible causes of the fires. That's because 85+% of the "climate change" fires all happen off roads and near populated areas. They should make a list of local Australian arsonist to keep track of them, it's a pretty destructive hobby.
Arsonist fever in Australia

The liberals made Land Management efforts to control fires illegal

GLOBAL ARSONIST CONSPIRACYNairn - Mainstream political conservatism is primarily represented by the Liberal Party of Australia. The Labor party is the left wing party over there.T-Dawg
- Fires happen all the time, in most warm and dry places. The point is less about their occurence more their extent and severity.Nairn
- Just not to confuse this with US politics where liberals = democrats.T-Dawg
- In Greece many fires were started by landowners wanting to circumvent very strict land use laws that protect forestsGnash
- Major forest fire is natural & necessary. We have made fires more brief but intense through suppression & prevention, which allows forests to store up 'fuel'BustySaintClaire
- I know that playing dumb while knowing better is good for getting a rise, but, this is really stupid stuff, robo. Bit worried you actually believe it.Fax_Benson
- The greens have 1 seat. But yeah sure, blame them. And arsonists. Which have been around since the dawn of mankind.inteliboy
- Also harbingers daily? Lol.inteliboy
- Is it really that hard to understand? No one ever claimed climate change caused spontaneous combustion of the forests.yuekit
- Something (arson, power lines, etc) caused the fires and then record-setting hot, dry weather caused them to grow into the giant inferno you're seeing now.yuekit

- Ask yourself how many mining and oil companies failed on the road to its current state, all while taking big money subsidies. A century's worth.T-Dawg
- We all know know new industry comes with hard lessons and failures. That's part of the deal.T-Dawg
- ah yes sacrifices. tdawg. nuthin new nor claims of their virtues. we all know one must break an egg for an omlettedeathboy
- and as the article states is the defense of such an issue. but i doesnt question the role of gov to user public funds for venture capital that may promote theirdeathboy
- political aims. im still a free market capitalist and support private investment. take tesla market cap for an example. a completedeathboy
- casino shit show and waste of money, but like a casino private funds. or shittard pensioners who should know betterdeathboy
- oil, mining, farming and even the early railroad should have all been private. and you will get better returns becuase simply private capital has more selfdeathboy
- interests. fundamentally speaking. of course there is plenty of private capital backed by public capital in various schemes and becoming a more popular routedeathboy
- for mitigating risk. and plenty of political people selling such risk mitigation for campaign payouts. reid is a great example in nvdeathboy
- from his land contracts to basic dairy farming. he only did what put money in his pocket book than ate shti excercising in a bathroomdeathboy
- and tried to sue the seller of the cheap as seller of runner bands. Something funny in it all really.deathboy
- Maybe t-dwag you need to explain why its good for an elected official to funnel subsidies and public funds to a single industry?deathboy
- do they really do it out of greater good, or personal incentives. is it smart to risk all on one thing? should we really go all in on edison DC?deathboy
- should we ignore fallibility of elected officials?deathboy
- and can you even make a comparison of oil/mining that had nearly a billion that failed? Who failed and to how much?deathboy
- was it federally funded or by local state voting? Big difference on those 2.deathboy
- When did public officials ever pump funds into a single industry? It's part of a budget, a piece of the pie. Nothing else was funded those years?T-Dawg
- Fallabilty is also part of the deal. Along with integrity, incentives. Do you hold government officials solely responsible?T-Dawg
- How about the voters that put them there? Or the non-voters that let special interests have their way?T-Dawg
- I find it strange that you seem to focus on this single industry, when the concerns you mention are universally applicable.T-Dawg
- I'm all for more responsibility in government spending but through accountability rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater.T-Dawg
- What's your intent behind specifically posting this? To have someone bite so you can talk about our lord and savior the free market?T-Dawg
- Uhm always public officials pump funds into single industries. Especially where prevalent to their campaign funds...deathboy
- do you forget obama and corn ethanol?deathboy
- and yes i hold gov officials wholly responsible for hamstringing the private investment, incentives and desires of the people for what they think may workdeathboy
- and voters are quite dumb. why i don't support democracy but rule of law, and against gov financial roles in developing enterprise in what they think is good.deathboy
- that shit is so china backwards. and yes my concerns are very universal and without hypocrisy. Gov finds it abortion economically unsuitable or payout by groupsdeathboy
- subsidize certain behaviors and rig the rules and procedures that are politically acceptable for voters to accept regardless wether right or wrongdeathboy
- or any reason behind it. And you never made a solid point allowing gov to pick industry winners over free markets...deathboy
- you only questioned wether it was bait for free markets. bait? well i hope so that people still have sense of reason. Havent forsaken the baby in the waterdeathboy
- completely yet .. if you get that. I think you jsut cant get past your id politics. The idea you might be "evil" socially if you don;t agree. you know thedeathboy
- whole climate ID politics are quite similar to nigger lovers or gays politics. jsut tweaked a little bit. ID politics with popular times. funny seeing the trapdeathboy
