Thread: environmentalist Tim Flannery targets outboards

    Yay, take all the outboards off Aussies while letting China burn billions of tonnes of fossil fuels without any regulation. He should go where the real problem lies and preach over there.

    The Greenies'll try to hang me for that, they've tried before. I should point out that in my 20's I was a full on Greenie. But I'm interested in facts, and I couldn't find enough on that side that made sense. So now I am a Green thinker, but without the politics or the blinkers.

    We should be focussing on the other gasses and particulants produced by internal combustion engines. There are many far more threatening chemicals being produced, that are proven pollutants, that don't seem to gather attention. But they aren't as politically sensitive, are they? And that, unfortunately, is what it's actually all about. Pity the rank and file Greenies haven't figured that out yet.

    What you say is very true.

    Just as a point of interest what lead you in the direction of CO2 is not a pollutant.

    Co2 occurs naturally in the environment so one one hand you could argue that it is not a pollutant.....but excess Co2 is perhaps not so natural and could be argued to be a pollutant.....
    A bit like beer.....some is good , more is better , too much and my head feels polluted

    I think the outboard tim flannery used on his great adventure down the murray was reasonably well hidden under a cover for commercial reasons for ABC TV.....but you can tell from the exhaust note it was an ETEC.

    The increase in CO2 will not benefit plants. A green house with more CO2 creates an environment were plants are able to grow quicker, but add more CO2 to the earth's CO2 system you will imbalance the whole system. The results will not be beneficial to plants; every single ecosystem will be affected. The plants that adjust the quickest will take over: what does this mean: natural selection will just take it's course, the fittest will survive. No it will mean our natural treasures will lose their biodiversity. The places that we fish will be noticeably different, I can't imagine the places that I fish will be better because of Global Warming. Maybe Some Yellow fin Tuna will come further south, but I can't imagine the fishing will be better.

    Sorry if I misinterpreted your sarcasm.

    AXXX, you seem to have forgotten (conveniently) you were asked to provide proof of your argument that the moon landings were faked. Do so.

    You see, until you fix that little problem, that will always be the corner you fight from. I see no point in sharing my years of experience and thought with someone who suffers such a lack of credibility.

    Isnt this Flannery ######## a biologist or some thing,what credability does he or his moron mates really have. The fact that he won the plastic Australian of the year is a mystery to me ,who actually votes for these people. By the way Kebby looks to be having fun in China doesnt he, I wonder if hes coming home in a row boat so his dirty great jet dont cause any more evil emissions . A left wing spazzo down the pub the other day was trying to tell me how clever Kebbin was cause he can speak chinese, I said big f$%#@n woop ,so can 1.3 billion other people.

    The National Australia Day Council Board is appointed by the Prime Minister of the day, they select the category winners and give their recomondations to the PM for his approval.
    In the case of Tim Flannery the Scientist & environmentalist it was former PM John Howard that gave him the nod & presented him with his award.

    I've been waiting 13 months on this forum for one of the leading mouthpieces on this issue to provide some evidence to support his argument. I'm still waiting. It would appear this ideology no longer needs to justify itself.

    Yep, and he should be strung up for it. Doesn't make the new guy any better.

    Shark Cat one - if the ybring in regulations - any time from 2010 to 2014, nothing you have now will be banned.

    I am surprised how many people get confuded on this question - look at the introduction of car standards - old cars werent banned

    hope this helps
