What sane parents would send children to Australian National University to be indoctrinated with Green activism aligned with intellectually disabled King Charlie and his voodoo environmentalism?
Dr Fiona Beck and fellow academics from the Australian National University (ANU) are delivering an important message in Dubai this week at COP28 — the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as the Conference of the Parties.
“It’s really hard not to be quite emotional about this,” said Dr Beck, an Associate Professor at the ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC). “We are in the critical decade in hitting our 1.5 degree limit on global warming.”
Even as Australia has begun reaching out to Pacific island neighbours to let them know their populations will be welcomed here if their homelands are washed away by rising seas, Dr Beck says that the 198 Paris Agreement signatories are decarbonising faster than expected, due in large part to the fact that renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels in Australia and many other nations.
During her first panel at COP28, Dr Beck said that Australia is uniquely situated to lead, not just ride the mounting wave of renewable energy entrepreneurship.
Australia has first class wind and solar resources, and the land mass with which to harvest them. Also, the major industries in Australia are exporters of raw materials, rather than large manufacturers. Thus, transitions to green technologies can be made more quickly.
“Australia has been a very large exporter of energy and energy-intensive products for a long time,” Dr Beck said. “We are a trusted trading partner in our region. We are a trusted partner of the USA, of Europe, and we can use those credentials to accelerate trade in zero carbon commodities, clean metals, for example.”
A recent ANU study showed that Australia is the nation best situated to produce green iron and other minerals that require energy-intensive processing, as well as green transport fuels, urea for fertiliser, and polysilicon for solar panels.
“Even though Australia is producing 1% of global emissions, onshore commodities dug up in Australia actually account for another 5% of global emissions,” Dr Beck said. “So there is an opportunity to not only decarbonise ourselves but also our trading partners and neighbours in the Asia Pacific.”
Dr Beck pointed out that our trading partners are now asking about the carbon footprint of commodities they import from Australia in order to meet their own targets for reduced emissions.
Editor: Dr Beck warns of rising sea levels in the Pacific Islands. Does she know that the islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean? So is the entire eastern seaboard of Australia and this ocean joins the Torres Strait waters. How is it there has not been a one centimetre rise in sea water at the Seisia Wharf located at the Tip of Cape York or any measurable sea level rises in Sydney Harbour some 3200 klms to the south?
Does she know that a few islands in the Torres Strait are formations of mud and coral and are slowly sinking because there is no solid sub-structure. Furthermore there has been no measurable rise in the Indian Ocean surrounding Western Australia.
