Ann: West Erregulla Update, page-35

Thanks. Yes and no Ox. I'm not concerned, but see the need to keep doing better by our natural environment. I agree that is the great doco to balance the common CC/renewables narrative (and note Michael got a lot of flak for that doco from his own side of politics). I also highly recommend the book Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger, as well as authors like Bjorn Lomborg who take a broader view of the issues.

I'm more bullish on the environment and climate than the common media narrative. Granted I'm not a enviro scientist, I'm an industrial chemist turned businessman, but there is a whole host of positive metrics out there that are not getting widely circulated (presumably because they don't make good headlines), for example the plant is greener now than it has been for hundreds of years. I'll let Shellenberger/Lomborg and others expand further, but in short, as nations develop they care more about the environment and this is starting to show considerable fruit, despite the media and certain political parties turning a blind eye.
