Which political party do you support and why?

[Justtristo]

Retail is in decline thanks to taxes to support "climate change adaptation" which WILL come and there is nought you or I or any world government can do about that. Pollution control and "global warming" maybe and the greatest contributors to "greenhouse gases" are humans...so what are you suggesting??

The Australian economy if it wasn't for the demand for our commodities from China would have gone into a recession like the rest of the Western world had. Not as bad as the USA experienced but still a recession would have occurred.

I disagree on "we cant do anything about global warming" line.

Schmuck!! I didn't say anything like that!! I said MAYBE!!!

Noted,

I will remind myself to read other people's posts more thoroughly in future.

You really do not have any idea what you are talking about do you??

"Non-green emitting energy" is preferable?? WTF??

Better Urban planning?? And you live in Sydney??

Green house gas emissions will be greatly reduced IF one reduces the total world population..is this what you are advocating?? Yay! *sarcasm ... maybe we can just sink all the economic refugee boats with the incumbent "asylum seekers" and this will help the overall global warming hot spots on the planet??

Let me be a bit clearer, the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are from energy, industrial processes, waste (garbage dumps) and agriculture. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions we need to do the following;

Firstly, find alternative energy sources for power, industrial processes and vehicles which does not produce greenhouse gases.

Secondly, change industrial processes so they dont produce greenhouse gases.

Thirdly, change practices in agriculture, forestry and waste management which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

These will all require radical solutions both technologically and in practices.

I know they are very radical measures, however I see them as necessary.

Non-sense...you are just sprouting greenie fascist nonsense...go away and really THINK about it!!

A lot of Greenies passionately oppose nuclear power and genetically modified crops, which I support. The movement is infected with many people who subscribe to all sorts of New Age nonsense.

We had a chance to really make a difference with the Home -solar-panel- back to grid supplement and the federal govt scrapped it this year!! This is your 'greenies" in action buddy! Worthless!!

I would agree with you that scheme was not a good idea. Since the money could have been invested in research and development for cheap large scale solar farms. Imagine if the price of producing solar panels went down a lot and it became economical to build these solar farms, which the Australian outback would be ideal for them.

The "Greens" are fantastic in opposition but are just plain idealistic imbeciles when given a whiff of power..they are no better than the other two major parties.

I dont really expect the Greens to have more than a junior Coalition partner position in Government. My main hope is that the major parties will co-opt the better policies of the Greens.
