Geez, I hope your wife doesn’t live past 82:DavidSSS said:Aah the Hazelwood argument, total crap it is. Hazelwood should have been closed down years earlier, it was already beyond its expected lifespan.

The Morrison government has formally recognised the extinction of a tiny island rodent, the Bramble Cay melomys - the first known demise of a mammal because of human-induced climate change.
tigerdell said:not left to the imagination, simply not included in the quote from the govt report.
Probably because the article isnt about climate change, but focused on animal extinction.
tigersnake said:not bad. used to be more like 'deny and your grandkids fry'.
tigerdell said:Similar populations may exist but as Darwin identified there is incredible diversity and difference within very small territorial changes.
The article suggests that the conservation effort by the govt was inadequate. Its an indirect cost that burden taxpayers.
Proactive vs reactive cost, all logic points to a preventative approach to the climate
antman said:The one that freaks me out is the loss of insect populations - apparently insect populations (not species) are declining by 2.5% a year globally. That's massive, and could lead to the collapse of whole ecosystems.
