Make Polluters Pay Central Queensland
Ahh, Queensland we all love living here, from our channel country, mountain rangers, rivers and coasts. We love it. Over the last few years we have seen more natural disasters continuing floodings up north, hundreds of thousands ofcattle dying from drownings and lack of food. Not only that, repeated flooding of remote and costal towns and cities and the forever costs and misery associated with that. Where and when will it stop? Most people, even in Central Queensland believe that Climate Change is the Cause but what is the the cause of Climate Change, you may ask? Well, it's Carbon dioxide (CO2), you know the gas that are the bubbles in beer, wine, soft drinks and in CO2 fire extinguishers). Once upon a time the Earth was in complete harmony with CO2. CO2 went into the air and was absorbed by plants which made sugars, carbohydrates and cellulose. It also gave us Oxygen to breath, all was good. Then in the start of the industrial revolution we started burning huge amounts of coal driving steam engines for power, soon later driving electrical power which we still do today. Most of you would have noticed (even in winter) that if we have cloud cover over night, the nights are warmer, The clouds trap the heat from the land and stops it going into space. The CO2 has the same effect, it forms a layer in the atmosphere and traps heat and stops it from going into space. So how do we stop this happening? The answer is we need to transition from burning fossil fuels be that Coal, gas, or transport fuels to renewable clean fuels. But in the meantime, who is going to pay for the damage being done, the floods, droughts and the destruction that is happening? In a way, we all have to pay in one way or the other. But, lets put the blame on the fossil fuel industries and the Governments that have let this happen. Though the question remains, who should pay for the damage being caused. Do you think that it is the Governments? That's you and me the "Tax payers". Or should the Fossil fuel industries pay? For decades and decades they have lobbied Governments to keep their industries alive with propaganda, bribes and political donations, It's time for us to rise up and say no more. How about we start at grassroots political levels, our Councils? Join us.
