Woodinator, don’t forget the effect of thermal expansion. Mean sea levels have risen by ~20cm over the last 100 years or so, due to thermal expansion. This will continue. Melting of ice sheets will add to further rise.A few extra little tidbits I just learnt from folk at the CSIRO and Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-operative Research C…[Read more]

Regardless of the money he has made or where it goes, Al Gore’s talk has contributed to massive action in addressing an issue that affects not only us, but all species.

I read peer-reviewed scientific literature, written by climate scientists.

In fact, global sea levels have risen (on average) by around 20 cm over the last 100 years or so due to thermal expansion. This is a result of the 0.7ish degree rise in global temperatures. As the temperatures continue to rise, which they will, the oceans will expand further and melting ice sheets will contribute to further rise. Ask people in…[Read more]

Bryce, it sounds like you’re a tentative proponent of nuclear then?

I think when it comes to considering the nuclear power option in Australia (in the absence of any other existing alternative baseload power options), we should weigh up the costs for and against. There is no doubt that we need to significantly reduce our GH emissions quic…[Read more]

Hi Folks!

Bryce makes a good point on the need for a level playing field. I think industry are waiting for some certainty regarding future GH/energy policy, in particular the introduction of a carbon price. Once there is that certainty, and there will be (there has to be), I think we will see a surge of GH mitigation projects coming on-line in…[Read more]

Folks! There is some good discussion here, but not all accurate.

You have so far covered three separate topics. Ozone depletion, global dimming and of course climate change.

As Bryce rightly pointed out, the hole in the ozone layer is caused by the emission of ozone depleting substances (mitigation measures for this came out of the Montreal…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice folks. Will pursue finance elsewhere..and will forward the PMI link to the lender discussed..

Much appreciated.
