Bill GreenGOVERNMENTS ARE NURTURING CLIMATE CHANGE

So you thought governments were doing something about climate change? Well they are; they're nurturing it.
Just so you know where the Victorian government stands:
1. They're building a desalination plant that will be powered by brown coal. There will be no new technology here, for it hasn't yet been developed.
2. There was no estimate of carbon emissions for the Port Phillip Bay dredging. All sea grass locations will be decimated and cannot regrow (see Corio Bay dredging over a decade ago and the sea grass there has not regrown). On top of that there is the toxic chemicals to be released from the mouth of the Maribyrnong, and those released from the toxic dump not far from Williamstown. Some of the chemicals are twenty times stronger than emissions from dying plants.
3. There are no emission estimates for the soon to be developed $750 million dollar brown coal power station. This project has updated technology, using a technique called integrated coal drying and gasification, which the government claims can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide from brown coal fired power generation by 30%, and reduce water consumption by 50%, compared to current best practice for brown coal generation (Note that before dredging began in the bay the government said the dredging would be best practice - it isn't and they're no longer claiming that). PROBLEM: the technology is unproven. No one knows if the technology is really feasible.
CONCLUSION: the minister for energy, Peter Batchelor and his Premier, Brumby, are totally insane. How could this be? Well they are a danger to themselves and others. This is one of the Victorian tests for insanity. They have made decisions that will feasibly help cause the deaths of thousands in extreme weather conditions caused by climate change. What they also don't realise is that the UN is passing laws to allow us to sue those who knowingly make decisions involving new industries that allow excessive carbon emissions. Please remember Batchelor and Brumby for their criminally negligent and insane decisions on carbon emissions.
Why are the UN concerned? Because those examples above are just a small proportion of the decisions that are being made to favor massive climate change.
