Four reports and Greta Thunberg highlight the failure of 30 years of COP meetings to slow climate change. Our weekly environment report.
Use of fossil fuels and non-fossil fuels in 2050
The IEA report I summarised above includes the following figure (page 58). It shows the amount of energy (in Exajoules) provided by fossil and non-fossil energy sources from 2020-2050. The figure on the left shows the likely trajectories if all governments’ current policies are pursued. The figure on the right shows the trajectories that are needed to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Current policies will more than double non-fossil supplies by 2050, whereas the net zero course needs an almost four-fold increase. The big change though is in the supply of fossil energy. Current policies will produce only a marginal reduction in fossil fuel energy, but to achieve net zero emissions fossil energy must be reduced to approximately one-fifth of 2020 levels by 2050.

In the Victorian election has become Dan vs Murdoch, Peter Costello and the LNP all lobbyists for the States real wannabe leaders money and power. While Victorians the 4.4 mill are left to do their own thing and will choose Dan. In the meantime the Greens and the S-Tealers will be the only ones to make some headway. Little Matthew Guy will be left eating their dust. I've cancelled my subscription to Costello's LNP's and Harvey Normans thin as a stamp flier haven't you?
The Age delivered us as "must read" front page news and information yesterday a promo for Matthew Guy who we all know only too well isn't the heroic little Ukranian Zelensky they made him out to be. He's Ventnor realestate swindler, the Lobster Don whose ready to do anything for the real wanna be power holders of this State. Any losses Dan suffers won't be because of Matthew Guy's last Hurrah.Votes away from Dan won't be because of this puff piece by Chip Le Grand. Fortunately in a Democracy even the losers need to be recognized compromises made to get the job done when leading Victoria to become nations best and humane state once again.
As things stand, the opposition leader is driving the Liberals towards a brick wall. Whatever possessed him to take the wheel again?
