So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

Are you suggesting we do tornado abatement in Tornado Alley?

"they should be responsible to 'fix' the problem" ah, the new colonialism. We've stopped using coal, we think you should stop using coal.

It shows...

and from elsewhere... Canada consumption 42.9BT, per capita 1179T, US consumption 731.1BT, per capita 2263T, and Australia consumption 129.6BT, per capita 5343T.

Which is it, millions of tons production or BT consumption? Only a bunch of zeros.

If the price of coal is $220 USD, that works out to $4400 USD per person per year. That's actually not an unreasonable amount.

Simple fix for all this goofiness, just shut down all weather and climate engineering.

I would suspect that would be the total amount, including industry distributed... and that would include coal power generation, if Australia uses that...

and you have over a million deaths to show for it.

If Canada had a capitalistic medical system you'd have had far more. 75% of COVID deaths stateside were from non-hospitalized senior citizens whose deaths in prior years would've been ruled "natural causes." Categorizing deaths as COVID during 2020 however was very profitable.

JMO but I'd be more upset over the real deaths caused by unnecessary lockdowns than irrelevant stats.

More on methane...

So your answer to methane is to blame coal? That doesnt make sense. Moreover, the subsidizing and regulatory-push for CNG as an alternative transportation fuel along with comparably low standards for HC emissions shows that methane is of little concern for greenies or govt today.

A really good reason for having a socialistic one, I would think. A couple of years back I broke my ankle (turned 90 deg) Two weeks in hospital, a bunch of titanium fittings and screws... totol cost to me $500 for the ambulance to the hospital...

Absolutely not... both are problems with methane being about 30x a greater problem... [pipe]

And there it is. Perception is bigger than reality.

Here in the USA I had a problem in my hand that requires an excision. It took 5 office visits including the surgery. It cost me $125. The actual cost was closer $30,000. I'm sure your case is the same.

No perception... paid for by taxes, by one and everyone. But the total out of pocket expense was just under $500. Same accident in the US would likely have cost me over $100K.

Poor old Ed fell for the lies.

"Observational facts do not verify the story of a rapidly rising sea level in the Maldives. On the contrary, stability in sea level is well documented for the last 30-40 years."
Failed politician. failed climate science.

It's on par with Fox... but the story is likely true, and may be a sign of things to follow. It's too soon to know.
