Re: Australia + Global Warming
this is what the world will be like in 2050 with another 4 degree added to the temperature---
+4.4°: Melting ice caps displace millions
Rapidly-rising temperatures in the Arctic put Siberian permafrost in the melt zone, releasing vast quantities of methane and CO2. Global temperatures keep on rising rapidly in consequence. Melting ice-caps and sea level rises displace more than 100 million people, particularly in Bangladesh, the Nile Delta and Shanghai. Heatwaves and drought make much of the sub-tropics uninhabitable: large-scale migration even takes place within Europe, where deserts are growing in southern Spain, Italy and Greece. More than half of wild species are wiped out, in the worst mass extinction since the end of the dinosaurs. Agriculture collapses in Australia.

With respect, you are living in cloud cukoo land <g>.
I forgot to mention that the Bush administration has for years been assiduously rubbishing, denigrating and in some cases sacking scientists in many official research labs who have the temerity to give the best interpretation of the data coming in over the last century.
Try Googling I think Hansen of NOAA, who was subject to the full blast from the oil/Bush power base.

Are you replying to me, or the original post from The Murphsters?

Re: Australia + Global Warming
What happened to the hole in the Ozone layer, that was supposed to kill us all but now their saying it does'nt exist or its not as bad as they thought, all these doomsday predictions by scienstists are wrong, even if they are right by the time global warming gets to be a serious problem in 50 - 100 years l'll be dead so l don't care.

Re: Australia + Global Warming
That arguement might seem to have some merit but airlines have slots and fly according to a schedule. if every plane was full and the airlne flew extra planes to move the passengers then I would agree with you but all the planes are not full all the time. Often when seats are overbooked in scumbag class some lucky people get upgrades to the spare seats in business/first. Should they have to pay double tax?

Re: Australia + Global Warming
Don't be stupid.
So why doesn't the government tax large planes that carry more passengers per tonne of fuel less than smaller planes. Also why don't they tax a 12 hour flight to Singapore 4 times as much as a flight to Malta?

Re: Australia + Global Warming
Daft question, but....
Does anyone consider where Australia's climate will be in 10 - 50 years and would it effect your decision to emigrate?
Ive read some pretty scary stuff about water shortages / heat etc... e.g

If I may add my two pence worth, Global Warming is a great scam devised to get extra tax out of the populous and is nothing to do with man's activities.
