Sh!t-Lite climate policy | with Adam Bandt, MP (Podcast)
Dear Patrons
Here's the podcast companion to our latest Honest Government Ad.
Our Government's Shit-Lite policy to regulate the coal and gas industry - aka "the Safeguard Mechanism" - will only pass through the Senate with support from the Greens on the crossbench. So my guest for the podcast is the leader of the Greens, Adam Bandt.
I hope you enjoy our chat.
If you missed my 2020 interview with Adam where we have an in-depth discussion about the CPRS and what happened in 2009 (old history but it still gets brought up today, so it's worth understanding it) you can find it here.
You can also find the podcast on your podcast app (search for the Juice Media Podcast) - and if you enjoy it, please spread the word and maybe give us a nice rating here :)
Catch you very soon for our next Honest Government Ad. We have so much shitfuckery to cover.
Thank you for all your support of our work.

Offsets and carbon capture are a waste of time and in the case of the latter money. To scrub the atmosphere in time to sort out the planet would need over a million of the best carbon capture units we currently have available, they would need to be built and operating within the next 5 years and would cost approx 60% of the current GDP of the ENTIRE planet. At the moment we have the capability of building about 35 a year. The only way we are going to sort this is by a complete cessation of the use of fossil fuels within the next twelve to eighteen months! THAT is the science.
I have read a few really interesting books on climate science and we are at the point of no return. Even if we stopped polluting today were fucked, we have to take carbon from the atmosphere and ocean now. It will cost so much to do this without idiots adding more carbon. On the positive side the atmosphere will still be breathable in my lifetime although I will most likely die from COPD. The people in charge think ignoring the problem is the best strategy but it is hard to ignore your house being destroyed by a flood.

What world "leaders" are pontificating to mitigate the climate crisis is pathetic, razzle-dazzle, greenwashing. It's the same old, same old ploy to pretend that they're going to reverse course while in reality they're still supporting, subsidizing, bowing down to the fossil fools. Such sh¡tfnckery makes me ill.
The "beauty" is people are going to great lengths to make sure their children will have great education and plenty of money to spend - they say they want their children to have a good life... and then they go ahead and keep destroying the place their children will have to live in. Politics is about negotiating targets, they are talking about statistics without realizing we are really talking about the world we live in. It's the same wherever you go. In Germany, an environmental activist who glued himself to the road was taken to court because an ambulance did not make it to A&E in time and the patient died. While the death is tragic and sad, thousands are killed in traffic accidents every year and people just shrug. Besides, if we don't protest, it's all going to pot anyway.
